Well, today was a twelve hour jaunt to Riverton to watch our heifers sell. These are the girls that didn’t make the cut for whatever reason… and they’re on their way to a new home. The sale barn was full of a good crew of buyers and sellers… and even more on various phones and…

Good Boy
We’ve had some old cows and many of our heifers we are selling around my house lately. That means that for Bravo, he’s been getting used to seeing and hearing them through the chain link fence. While Eden won’t let them eat right next to the fence, it doesn’t seem to bother Bravo. Since Eden…
Sooner or Later
I’ve slacked off on ranch work lately… letting the guys do projects without my “help”. The other day, I stopped in to see all the work they’ve done on our calving shed. First of all, they’ve repaired the corral. They’ve torn down a fence line that ran from this post clear over to the orchard…

Making Memories
A day off… kinda. Vernon said he was going to haul hay as long as the ground remained frozen… as it thaws, you start rutting up the road. As it turned out, he managed to haul hay until noon. That gave me time to clean up from yesterday’s big birthday celebration for Victoria’s twin boys….
