Hi all--been a long while since posting on here! Busy on the ranch and with homeschooling our 5 1/2 year old son :-) I check back in often and read all you have been up to. Quick question: we are in the midst of calving and have had 2 calves born in which their backends won't work; at all...

Been a long while since I've posted pics of our ranching life here in western WY; we had a drought breaking summer last summer. 3 inches of rain right in the middle of haying followed by 3 1/2 inches of rain a few days after we finished up haying! Calves did well on the forest last summer and we...

My great uncle who turns 100 in a few days was showing my folks some of his photo albums from when he worked for a surveying crew for the US government back in 1936. He surveyed elevations on Beartooth Pass (near Red Lodge, MT), around Cody, WY, various other locaations in Wyoming and then his...

Still calving away but already thinking about marketing/selling our calves. We have sold thru Northern Livestock Video Auction the past 4 years and will again this year. My question is should we get in the early sale (3rd week in June) or stick with the mid July sale? We have always done the...

Had a set of triplets born out of a 4 year old angus cross cow. My husband saw the first get born, get up and suck, and thought all was good. Went back a few hours later and the bull calf had gotten squished when she laid down to deliver the 2 identical heifer calves. All are dead and each...

We just started feeding elk on a feed ground not too far from our home...filling in for the remainder of the season. The big bulls have lost their antlers already, younger guys not quite yet. Feeding about 8-9pounds per animal. My husbands family has fed elk for forever. Husbands great-grandpa...

Bringing the heavy first calf heifers home from Webb Place ...took them down there to scour guard them. Woulda worked them here a home but the corral, alleyway, and squeeze chute were completely snowed under. This is one of the drifts around our home...measured the drift between the buildings...

Alright...got an iPad and want to start posting photos again on here. I have my photos on photobucket already. What do I do next? Do I copy and paste IMG code, IMG thumb, HTML code, direct link, or something else? Thanks in advance, I miss sharing my pics with you all!

We are looking at renting(and then possibly buying) a JD 5100E with a loader during haying this year for stacking, mowing, or raking. This tractor has 85hp p.t.o., not big enough quite for our baler but it looks to be perfect sized for the other jobs. Curious if any of you have any thoughts on...

That time of the year again for buying bulls...wondering if any of you can recommend black angus bulls breeders that are run at high elevation and pap test? We run our cattle at 7700 feet and just go up. Trying to find private treaty instead of auction---less stress going private treaty! There...

Anyone have an idea what yearling steers will be going for in a few months? We are considering purchasing some to run for the summer---always been a cow/calf operation but might be picking up some extra summer pasture nearby. Thanks in advance!

Hey y'all...it's been a super long time since I last posted but I am on here often reading about everyone's adventures and enjoying all the photos. I'm taking a few minutes this night to ask you all to send out healing prayers for a very good friend and neighbor of ours. He is a young 31 year...

It's been awhile since I've posted; our two year old son keeps us busy! Here are a few late haying season pics (August). We had a decent hay crop even though we were in a drought like many of you. We have a week of rainy weather mid July that saved us and a relatively nice fall/early winter has...

I finally have a few minutes to post some pictures from our first branding back on the 5th of May. The morning started out with a fresh inch of snow on the ground--we were to start gathering the meadows at 9am but waited a good hour waiting on one ominous cloud to pass. We did not want to gather...

Well, as i'm sure many of you can attest to the chaos the week prior to your big brandings...we have been trying to get everything done as we will brand two thirds of our calves tomorrow, about 475 or so. All week we've been scrambling trying to get our cattle all straight. We have two brands...

I sound like an ad for NurseMate ASAP but I can fully say it is hands down the best thing we have found for getting cold calves started other than putting them in a warming box. Our weather switched from nice warm 60 degree days (very unsual for us here in western WY) to 30 degrees with a lovely...

We run primarily black angus and black baldy cows and we are getting blacker and blacker every year. We have been throwing around the idea of getting a few hereford bulls to get some more color but we aren't sure. We have some fantastic black baldy F1 cows we bought a few years back that throw...

Here's a few pictures for those of you who were curious about our breaking to lead process on our colts. After they get tied to a post and lead to water and "mauled" by us brushing them and petting them, we turn them loose and practice catching them. Then they get lead behind our haysled and go...

So I took some pictures yesterday of feeding with our teams of belgian work horses. Our warmer weather melted our road off earlier than we wanted...makes for hard pulling when we come back from the stackyards with our hay. We are going to fire up the Cat tomorrow and make some new tracks thru a...

As winter drags on, we seem to find things to keep us busy. We won't start calving until around April 10th and we ran our cows thru the corral yesterday and scourguarded them. Don't want to brag (but I will anyways) we ran 400 through in one hour! A record for us! We are using corrals that are...
