Maybe Next Time
Elsa continues to limp along… licking her paw… Though she wants desperately to go to the corral and on the feed trailer in the mornings… I’ve forced her to stay inside. She gets the elevator treatment getting in and out of vehicles. (And… boy, is she overweight, what a lard bucket to pick up!) She…
That Order
It musta been a Monday today. Sometimes the only way to know what day it is around here is by what you end up watching on television when you collapse into the recliner after dark. It was much easier when there was only Monday Night Football. Now with Thursday, college Saturday, and Sunday football as…
Wordless Wednesday – “Waiting for His Next Victim”
“Waiting for His Next Victim”… Lucas waits for the next calf to come through… see “His Job ” from the other day! *********************************************************************************** September 29, 2009 Weaning
His Job
The last part of the afternoon, we weighed our weaned calves. They’ve been in the corral, at least this bunch has, going through Mommy-withdrawal. That expresses itself in bawling for three or four days… and then they are over it. Before we turn this bunch out on the fields, we weigh them individually. That helps…
Wordless Wednesday – “Lucas Portrait”
This is perhaps the best portrait I’ve ever taken of Lucas. Plus, remember to submit your questions for the month… I’ll answer them tomorrow.
English Shadow
Honestly… He lives for me. He watches for me. He is dejected when I’m not around. He howls when I leave and he can’t go. He wants to crawl in my lap and snuggle. He knows I can find that *spot*. He has me wrapped around his paw. His fourth birthday was last week, and…
Sore
OK. Sore. Sore. <groan> I am so ready for a soak in a hot tub… but I don’t own one. It’s not that we traveled a lot of distance as the crow flies… it was like six or seven miles total crow distance… or that we kicked hundreds of pairs out… it was more like…
Lucas’ Acupuncture
I thought I’d share some of Lucas’ acupuncture treatment he received a few weeks ago on my Casper trip. This is by far not all of his appointment, which actually took almost 2 hours… but I believe it is remarkable how he took it all in. We went to Ten Mile Clinic in Casper, Wyoming….
ReRide
After the long day of riding last week… the weather turned on us… even colder and nastier than before. So… we flew to town to get building supplies for our various projects one day… Vernon took his “new” snowmobile up the mountain to check for leftover cows the next… He didn’t find anything… Then we…
Honest Dog
Unfortunately… the other day in between gathering the cattle and returning to wean the calves the next day… We lost a cow. Lost as in *dead*. Four legs pointing to the sky. Cows don’t tend to tip over as easily as sheep, but they do have one major method of unlikely death… They can easily……
Lucas’ Paw – Pawrt Two
In February, I posted about Lucas’ paw… and received the most comments to any post I’ve ever written. I tried most of the suggestions… honey… sugar… sugardine… zinc oxide and calamine… other miscellaneous ideas… But Elaine and Sal, two of the commenters, suggested Schreiner’s Herbal Spray. What the heck, I spend SOOO much on this…
