    Prayers for Soapweed

    We never met in person, but my brother fed a lot of bulls he used and my nephew found him a gentle horse to ride after his bout with West Nile. Short Grass is right..

    Patty ain't scared

    We got home latish about 6 weeks ago to discover that Stella had her first encounter with a skunk. The only time we regretted the dog door and her most recent bath, the house aired out in a couple days...

    Sorry for the outbreak

    I read where the Oregon National Guard is being activated to combat the Corone, seriously there are only 667 ICU beds in your state? I hope they're good shots, I imagine a virus bug is a pretty small target...

    My old picture and story

    I thought probably so, thanks. My 30-30 is a Marlin so it will take a while to be that cool. The only Winchesters I recognize have octagon barrels, the CF stands for center-fire I believe.

    My old picture and story

    A wonderful story about a simpler time. I'm grateful there are still some simple places, usually good deer habitat. What caliber is the rifle, I don't recognize it, but Winchester?

    4th Cutting Alfalfa 8/18

    It sure looks like it's worth putting up, the pivot on well or surface water? Our hay was extremely short this year, just like all of it between us. Irrigated alfalfa here will have to hustle to beat 4 tons an acre, most will by shy of that. Beautiful quality, but we could sure use more...

    Trailers

    Some neighbors pull a Wilson and it's a solid trailer. My brother put over 40,000 miles on an Exiss 36 foot, no pasture use. They probably cost the most, but Featherlite. I've hauled bulls and the horses that gathered them out of some rough terrain. 28 foot behind a Dodge Cummins single...

    Trailers

    Featherlite or Merritt, they both have strong points. I have seen, and helped, both tried out to extremes; neither will disappoint. I've used shorter models of the former and a 32 foot Merritt, but that was behind a 550 Super-duty. Your pickup can pull 4 foot more aluminum, the question's are...

    Just a picture of Will riding Fred, for a test.

    Must have been at the neighbor's, or were you working those Char's that made money?

    Balderdash!

    That last comparison leaves me a lot quieter than either picture represents, thanks, I needed that, MC.

    About to start baling here

    It's been too dry and full of bugs for much grass hay, but first cutting irrigated alfalfa looks decent . Some cheat but not as bad as last year . The pairs sold in Crawford today looked to be heading SE. At least half the yearlings sold already. Sure glad Corbitt thinks it's a wet year...

    What's the weather like at your place?

    Cool temperatures here also, but we have gotten close to a half inch of rain this afternoon. The heavy storms have missed us. That's almost an inch since the blizzard in March, getting close to two inches for the year. It's green, but the hay is awful short.

    What's the weather like at your place?

    The weather pattern here has evolved to extremes, right now its a cool cloudy extreme. No general rain but I did see a couple puddles in the Hot Springs, SD area last Saturday. Scottsbluff is only 1.25 below normal precipitation for the year which is about what we have had, not counting dew...

    Moving day

    Preaching to the choir I know, but the fastest way to move cattle is a tad slower than they want to travel. Processing maybe a click slower than that. I'm grateful I have lived long enough to see this proven over and over. While shipping some fall pairs home last week a bull got out through...
