Gathering the calves to bring them home… They’ve been having a good life on our hay fields and will continue to do so… but on some fields over in Worland. It tried to snow at the end… but it was just more cold than anything. Who wants to be a cowboy now?
Something to Smile About
Thank you for your outpouring of sympathy for our loss. You are very kind. While we struggle through the process, there is still a ranch to tend to, and, no surprise, cattle to move. We had already scheduled trucks to haul some calves tomorrow which meant we had to gather them today. I could post…
Patriarch
It is with extreme sorrow that I share the passing of John Greet, December 24, 1930 – November 12, 2022. May he ride a smooth horse through green grass and find only gentle cattle (and a few wild horses to chase!) He will be profoundly missed.
#TBT: Come Back Tomorrow, v.2.0
This was first posted November 13, 2011. This has been a very cool day! I mean, as in awesome, wonderful! Brandon and Megan and Quinlan are still here… so there’s the visiting and babysitting going on… wonderful in its own way… But, finally, this afternoon, I needed some “airing out”… too much cooking, etc! Me…

Even Better
Thanks to the National Weather Service, we have a pretty good idea of what weather is headed our way. Ask any Wyomingite who Don Day is, and I bet 90% of them know! We listen to him on the radio and now on YouTube, forecasting and impacting our lives. I used to roll my eyes…
Mix and Match
After the first half of the herd had been sorted and trailed to their pastures, we decided to break for lunch. Megan and Brandon and I had our horses, and they tied theirs with halters to the corral. I had no halter, and was too lazy to walk to the barn to get one. I…
Broke
Cows were off the Mesa and settled in the Double Crossing overnight. We were to begin riding, gathering them and bringing about half of them into the corral. Half simply because our corral cannot hold them all at once. Vernon and I drove in to the home place and cows came running. We were driving…
A Few More
I hope you’ll forgive me a few more images… This is such a scenic spot and the light was nice… Don’t think I was purposefully ignoring Brandon or Daniel in my photos… they were, for the most part, way too far away to photograph. In fact, Daniel said he had the gate open for 33…
This Works For Me
I’m days behind in photos and activities. Some days I’m just too tired to make worthwhile posts! So Sunday was the day Vernon and I had turned off the water in the canyon… Then Monday, we gathered the Mesa Pasture and brought the cows down to our Double Crossing Pasture. Yes, it was Halloween. As…
#TBT: On the Trail, v.2.0
This was first posted November 4, 2011. Brandon, Megan, and Quinlan arrived late last night… and we sent the parents to bed and watched Quinlan for them! He’d slept for most of the 6 hour drive, so he wasn’t ready to sleep more here! I crashed at 3 am… Vernon, who had a few hours…
