The Bestest Part
“No rest for the wicked, and the righteous don’t need any!” I grew up with that saying… I’m not sure where we fall, but after the Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame party, it was back to work! On the agenda… weighing calves. We do this every year… getting an idea how our calves and breeding…
Random Dog
Victoria and I debated on who was gonna ride, who was gonna watch her kids… and this morning at 6:20 when she woke me up…(!) I decided *she* was going to ride… and I’d corral her kids. Tonight, as my legs are still sore from yesterday, I’m very glad I didn’t spend another 8 hours…
Minute Movie: “Summer Pasture”
Let me explain a few things… There are cows all along the route, they’re just hidden either by trees or landscape… There is no huge gap between the front and rear. The sky is smoky due to the fire… Dally was laying in the shade behind me, no disrespect to her since I didn’t get…
Fence ‘Em In
“Fences make good neighbors.” We’ve all heard that adage, and when it comes to running livestock, it’s never more true!!! Escapee cows/calves/steers/bulls cost us lots of man hours. Whether its through neglect, age, wildlife, nature, or just obstinate critters, fences beg for work constantly. Brandon has been fighting fence and escapees for the past few…

Minute Movie: “Eden: Bog Dog”
As you regular readers know, there are bogs at the end of our mountain trail. So after hours of travel, when people and horses and dogs are tired, the cows usually fall off the trail into the bogs to get a drink and get cool. You can’t ride your horse in there, because they will…
Great Walk
After the normal routine of feeding cattle and chopping ice, the guys went snowmobiling for fun, and I decided on such a NICE sunny day, the dogs and I would head out for another shot at snowshoeing around the fields. It was much easier this time as I used my dad’s old fashioned bear paw…
Colt
I guarantee my puppies when I sell them, encouraging new owners to use me as a resource for dog training, health, the English Shepherd breed in general. That’s why I now have Colt. He is five years old and had issues at his home. I picked him up last Sunday in Buffalo, as his family…
Time Would Tell
The dog’s paws padded through the fine dust sending the red poofs abruptly skyward. Steadily he ran, tongue rolling sideways, ears forward, then backward, seeking, listening, seeking, listening. He was determined though unaware of his destination… determined to lead or stay alongside the little truck as it puttered along the country road. A run for…
What About You?
Since I’ve put out the call for questions for this month’s Q&A… I’d like to ask for suggestions as well… What *haven’t* I covered in blog posts? (stay away from personal items, I won’s share that! ) (I still have to make a solar oven… I haven’t forgotten… and I never touched too much on…
