Usually, I give you a wonderful landscape… today… still life with calving supplies! Go to the jigsaw puzzle HERE.
SUPERvisor!
Daniel, Tess, Reagan, Brandon, and Megan journeyed to Worland today to give our yearling heifers a pink eye vaccination. Vernon kept an eye on our few remaining heifers and the cows that may feel like calving since we have a snowstorm blowing in tonight. Tess gave me some wonderful photos that show a fantastic little…
Buddies
Victoria was here for a visit so, of course, we all went down to see some baby calves and help clean pens or do whatever was needed. Quinlan and Lorelei were along as well, and we soon found out that in the hay and straw was a calf waiting to be reunited with its mom….
Lions’ Tales – the Video
The past month I’ve posted a teaser or two about the mountain lions that hung around for a few days. Tonight, the video arrives! Yes, it’s a LONG video, but each day I saw them, I noticed new things. First. This has been a bucket list item for me. I’ve seen the tail of one…
This Dog
I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s little video. Just push the play button, yes, a video will play! I guess it’s one of the reasons Red Dirt has never hit “The Big Time”. I love that video! I told myself many people would love that video. Like MANY people… No, nope, nada. It just cracks me…
#TBT: Great Reward, v.2.0
This was first posted March 2, 2010. Last night we had our largest calf we’ve had in the heifers… a whopping 100 pounder! That’s like having an 11 pound baby for us. For your first baby. Big. Ugh. Ouch. But… that’s why we check them… to be there when they…
Wordless Wednesday: “Hay Loft View”

Elusive
When I posted this photo a while back, I was thrilled with it, and I still am. I’ve always wanted to see a mountain lion in the “wild” and boy! I’ve checked that bucket list item off multiple times as of late! We know they’re around… we see the evidence of them and we live…
Hoodies
For many of you that asked about the calf hoods we use… I didn’t quite make it in time this morning before they had pulled all the hoods off of the calves. Here is a photo from last year, though. Here also is the post I wrote about them last year. I’m thinking of trying…
Calf Ears
Even though we received another 5” of snow yesterday and the evening temperatures ducked down close to zero, today warmed quickly and the sun was soon glaring off the brilliance of the snow. Bundled in layers first thing in the morning, we were shedding coats and hats and gloves by ten. Our baby calves had…
Two Days of Calving Video
This week I chose to just share the past two days of calving; yesterday, nice and blue skies, today, a snowstorm rolled in. I also chose not to put music with this video. One thing I love about calving, is the quiet and calmness. The soft “mehs” of the heifers… the little newborn voices in…
