I can’t quite see it yet, and I know it’s out there… Someone has taken video of me and my siblings playing… but she needs to sit down and put it all together. I guess she needs more time. **** May 28, 2011 Who’s Hiding May 28, 2010 The Same Shade of Red May 28,…
Fingers Crossed
Artificial insemination. It’s what we do for our Memorial Day celebration. Our young heifers, the ones we’ll be calving out next spring, are busy, hopefully, getting pregnant this weekend. After much debate, and checking records, and discussions, and looking at lists… the guys decided which semen to buy, and which heifers would be a good…
Name of the Game
A little fox kit strikes a pose almost identical to a photo I took for the March 2011 entry on last year’s calendar… This time there are either 4 or 5 kits, although I never seem to catch them! Obviously, at least for those of you living in the general area, this wasn’t taken today! …
Snuggle In
After avoiding the “scattered thunderstorms” for a couple of days… the clouds settled in and finally blessed us with some moisture. The mountain is draped in white, and it is COLD. It’s 35º out there right now. I’ve built a fire and yanked another blanket on the bed. I managed to do some outside work…

Slow Down
Things are starting to get crazy here. Yesterday’s .8″ of rain slowed us down a bit, but now that it’s over, we’re going every direction your imagination could create! We helped a neighbor brand a few calves today as well… I think I shall blame part of my chaos on something to do with this…
More
More. Counting them out the gate. The crew. Brandon through the heat waves and ash. More chaps. *Yes, you can buy prints of any of my photos. I’ll put my store link back up, and you can buy them through there. Thanks for the interest!* **** May 18, 2011 Wordless Wednesday – “Seeing…
Branding
I say this every year… If only I could photograph branding instead of working, I’d have much much better photos to share! As it is… they’re OK. I was kept hopping the first bit as our first ropers were catching calves right and left. The camera barely left my pocket. Then as other ropers took…
