As usual, I did take a zillion photos of the rodeo on the Fourth. I, however, had a great deal more fun watching Lorelei riding old Gabe. Gabe is an old hand at this… Lorelei must present the colors, and as Princess, that means the Wyoming flag. She also must help carry the sponsor’s flags…
Happy Independence Day
Lorelei is Ten Sleep Rodeo’s 2024 Princess. I captured her in a solemn moment while presenting the colors to the audience. I hope you enjoyed your Independence Day!

Blood Samples
Our heifers that were AI’d just over a month ago can now be pregnancy tested. How? A blood test that we send off to a lab. But how do we get blood from the heifers? Well, underneath their tail is a large vein… so, bright and early, we began taking blood samples. Just like with…
Sunrise Dust
Aha! Finally with the early morning shots from riding the other day… The sun is barely touching the hilltops. Sunrise makes for good dusty silhouettes. My favorite of the morning? Miss Lacee in the sunrise dust.

Sweet Clover
Why, yes, the sweet clover is tall and abundant this rainy spring year…
Ending
Playing cowboy, once again. We moved the little bunch we branded the other day to the Slope Pasture. Unfortunately, my iPad is full of photos, and won’t download anymore until I clean up some space, so you’ll have to take the “beginning at daylight” on faith since it only downloaded photos beginning at the end…
Throwback Thursday: Pay Day, v.2.0
This was first posted June 29, 2014. Well, we loaded our steers on semis this morning and sent them on their way! Taking it slow and steady… no need to rush them, this is what we’ve been working for since they were born… the guys bring them to the corral. Here we will run them…

Great Smiles
Even though we started early, it seemed like the temperature grew hot fast… of course, as I stand by the branding barrel most of the time… I may have a warped perspective! With only 100 calves to brand, it shouldn’t take too long. These are our youngest calves, those we deemed too young to be…
