I Like ‘Em
I never shared some of these, and I like them… so…
Picking on Megan
The other evening, we had spent the day at the kids’ horse show… but had to come home and work. Gathering cattle with end of the day heat and the swarms of bugs wasn’t enjoyable, but it would be a short trip. As we made the final section to the fields and corral, the light…
Traffic Jam
Finally! FINALLY! All of our cows are out of the heat and bugs of the flats where it reached 96° today and up on top of the Big Horn Mountains, where I don’t t know the temperature, but I can testify it was cooler! Instead of dumping the cows in our corral and trailing them…
Horse Shows and Cowboys
Well, it wasn’t a kids’ rodeo! Quinlan, Jaxon, Lacee, and Lorelei joined the 4H Horse Program and today was the horse show.

Rancher Math
My daughter Victoria is a middle school teacher… mainly science and technology, and she used to teach some math classes. She told me once, a long time ago, if I remember correctly, that she had a student say, “I don’t need math, I’m going to be a rancher.” THAT didn’t go over well, because Victoria…
A Trail to Remember
Early morning found us on horseback… Well, everyone but me. I had a job to do…. I had to video our calves that will be on the Northern Livestock Summertime Classic sale that is coming up soon. I’m a bit nervous to do this every year… this is what buyers see on the internet, so…
