Appreciate the View
The past two days have been Cowboy Days. With the water situation finally resolved in one pasture, and the lease of another pasture, we could finally move some cattle to higher range! Yay! Cattle don’t do as well in hot weather… and we’ve had plenty of that lately. They were very happy to move up,…

Learning Manners
Part of getting these pups ready for their new homes besides the standard physicals and shots… is a little behavior work. It never hurts to teach those kids some manners BEFORE they go off to their new lives! So I give you… Learning Manners: Sitting before Feeding aka the cutest puppy video ever! A little…
Dry Dusty
I wish GoDaddy would leave my fonts and sizes the way I want them… sorry for the past few days… I don’t know what makes it revert to a smaller size and different font when I hit “publish”! I have the CUTEST video uploading to vimeo right now… unfortunately, I won’t stay up that long…

Back to the Castle
The canyon sent up shimmering waves of heat, convenient for the dark turkey vultures that rode in tilting strides on the thermals. Though the sandstone was a well worn and faded white, heat bubbled off its 500 vertical feet as the morning sun hit its western wall. Sitting in the crushed weeds, I watched as…
Wordless Wednesday – “Shimmy to the Right”
The rider seems to want to shimmy to the right while his bull is goin’ left! **** July 6, 2010 Good Morning Ride July 6, 2009 Let’s Rodeo! July 6, 2008 No entry.
“Bloody hell, this is a sh***y job”
The job today was to gather and bleed our heifers. The morning was spent gathering them from their pasture and trailing them home. We had a bit of difficulty there… we have a creek crossing that they just can’t hit. It’s built like a sharply turned fishhook, down into a cutbank, and then across the…
Puppies and Panama
Happy Fourth of July, everyone! We had to move some cows this morning… which resulted in a late arrival to the rodeo and fewer chances to take pictures. Don’t worry, I WILL share what I did manage to get… It also allowed me a rare instance… since Panama now lives up here at the Mills…
