I couldn’t resist turning this photo into a puzzle. I generally don’t reuse photos… but I really like this one! Go HERE.
Spring Chore
Spring chores include putting up our lay down fence on the mountain. These stretches of lay down fence are along the stock drive road. We put them up first since people are taking their livestock up along these stock drives. The fences are put up in a unique way. Remove the nail and shove the…
Impressive Adventure
I was up on the mountain with Vernon and the clouds started rolling in… We were behind a cliff wall and couldn’t see the oncoming storm, but Vernon decided he needed to get his trailer off in good time, so we left our work. I was in the side by side and I gave him…

Rain becomes mud and muddy roads walked on by cattle become the absolutely roughest roads you can drive on. Your muscles get tired from the constant tension from trying to hold yourself together mile after…
Green
Heifers are back from their winter home. With luck and the expertise of Daniel and Brandon, they are also pregnant. We unloaded the three trucks and they soon were on their way to green grass. The heifers were soon munching happily away.
Benefits
While the rest of the crew has been very busy AI-ing our heifers over in Worland… Vernon and I have remained at home, he, trying to finish up the last of the pipeline troubles, me, putting in a garden and watching kids. It seems very strange to not be in the middle of things. It…
