I took a drive through the neighbor’s pasture, helping him out a tiny bit. Remember our “little” 4,000 acre fire? Well, it actually burned more of this neighbor’s pastures than ours and the view from the “other” side of Otter Creek Canyon was amazing. (There was a definite moonscape feel to this formerly grassy pasture)…
Initial Attack Force
Yup. Again. And again. And again. Three fires around Ten Sleep today… all small. All contained. Only one blaze this far south… and so my guys, although busy baling hay… took off once more. That’s Vernon and Brandon at the bottom of this shot, pulling hose. The first two guys on scene? aka “Initial Attack”…
Pig Trails
A Dear Lady calls them Pig Trails. Those unadventurous ruts we get in… The same route to work. The same food off the menu. The quickest way to your destination. The same kind of you-name-it… food, drink, clothes, trips, movies, work! Today I got off my Pig Trail… just a smidge… but, my! What a…
Good Dog, Lucas
Today we sorted off some of our heifers we’ll be selling. That meant Corral Work. That meant my Dear Buddy could be Dog of the Day. I do believe he had fun even in the heat! Thank goodness for a little rainshower last night, too… it kept the dust down! Good Dog, Lucas! **** July…

Working Mother
Sometimes a mother just needs to get back in the workforce… if only for a few hours! Those kids are demanding critters… and hustling through a job can really take your mind off those little “Klingons”… who want nothing more than to nurse often! Sometimes, working is the answer to whatever ails you… **** July…
What’s Today?

However….
Minute Movie – Trailing from Ritchie’s Pasture
From a few days ago… a Minute Movie showing the cows trailing in from the Ritchie Pasture. I love doing this… The cows know where to go. The cows are nicely paired. All I have to do is gather them in Ritchie’s, push them around the field, (OK, I did have a little problem at…
