We waited a bit for some warmth… then left in the side by side. While it has a cab and a heater, lots of air penetrates and makes for a cold ride. We were gathering heifers from the Ritchie Pasture, and initially, I just took pics through the dirty windshield. The mud splatters were not…
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Christmas Eve
Wishing you a magical Christmas!
Good Setup
Yes, there’s snow on the ground, and I spent the day cooking. Yesterday, though, I took pics of a new piece of equipment… This is our new maternity pen for cows. Betchya never heard of these! When cows need help calving for whatever reason… large calf, breech presentation, or whatever, we can use this setup…
Doable
Once again, they’ve issued a winter weather advisory on this gorgeous day. We have had a stretch of forty plus degree days with bright sunshine and no snow on the ground. It’s been marvelous, actually. But, they’re predicting a white Christmas. That’s ok, it’s time… Vernon was nice enough to chainsaw my pile of corral…
#TBT: BVD, v.2.0
This was first published December 22, 2012. Bangs Vaccination Day. The day when your friendly veterinarian visits with vaccine, a vet shield tattoo, green ink, a toothbrush, and numbered metal tags. It was also the day of the local food co-op, so a mad 40 mile round trip dash started the morning. Followed by unloading…

New Item
Delivery of a new item at the ranch today! Here’s hint number one… Hint number two… Last minute leveling and then it arrived. I’m up out of the way, keeping me and my dogs out of the danger zone. While I watched, all I could think of… was how happy I am to live surrounded…
97%
I rode along with Vernon on a trip over to Buffalo. We haven’t had much winter yet, and it seemed bizarre to cross the mountain and not have much snow in mid December! This is Powder River Pass… 9,666’ in elevation, and only a couple of inches on the ground. There’s plenty of wintertime left…
Christmas Play
We attended the children’s Christmas program this morning… and I took photos… duh. But in every one, Jaxon was out of focus, or Reagan looked mad (she wasn’t!), or someone’s head was blocking Lacee. The lighting was bad or something was just WRONG. I haven’t failed that bad in a while… However, we do have…
Christmassy
Another craft fair and a few more dollars… followed by Ten Sleep’s Christmas parade.
Huntress
My third “dog” accompanied me on my walk today… Among the rushes… Catching up, though often “ambushed” by the two dogs … C’mon, then! Temporary safe zone… Always the huntress.
