Hey guys, lovely weather we're having. :) Any of your guys planning on going to the ranch roping outside Hermosa tomorrow (Sat.)? It was still on as of late this morning. Has anyone heard any differently? Hope it doesn't get cancelled, and would sure love to see some of you guys again. EF

Wow, lots of folks stopping to check my post. I wish I was scheduling one, cause i think I'd have some takers.

OK I was able to discover that the Cheyenne River Roundup was indeed cancelled do to teams backing out citing drought, high gas prices, and it beings the end of the season. Which is kinda bugging me for some reason, but I'm pregnant so I can't be considered rational, even to myself, lol. But...

I'll be watching a neighbor's girls for her while she runs her honey booth on Sat. I plan to take the girls in for a while, so they can see the festivities and their mom.

Congrats....hope its more than will just hold down the dust, and not so much it carries the dirt away. Send some our way.

Hi everyone. I know, I know, long time no see. But then maybe many of you have been busy in the whirl of spring and summer ranch life. I hope the rain is blessing your crops or dams, and that you had pristine days for brandings. As to my question, I need to know how much an average cow in...

:D Holding my nose. Oh, that was you, Muddy! *Takes out the "odour de fluer" and sprays it around liberally. :P

Well, it's my birthday. 30 years have come and gone. Not sure I've learned much, but I have a good 30 or 40 more years to go. Ok, now I'm depressed. :cry: Share a few of your memorable bdays. I'd love knowing that others are aging too. :)

Bless you guys hearts. I keep reading these posts in the hopes it will all start to make sense to me. But it's still all greek. :D I'll keep snooping though. Sooner or later it has to make sense. :)

Boy, this topic really has inspired the conversation to churn about. HB, I hear you trying to reason with us who sit on the other side of the table. You are saying we want to kill every lion that lives. Yet if you read the posts, all we want is the right to protect our own not to be infringed...

Interesting tips everyone. I learn something new every day

I agree. That's what I mean by personal wisdom, and the adaptation of the lion. If its moving through to hunt a bunny, more power to it. When someone comes to my door to sell goods, or hand my a tract, it may annoy that heck out of me, but they're no threat, and I'm bright enough to figure...

Ok, here's one from the new ranch wife files. My hubby and I had been married about a year, and were working in NE. Calving season rolled around and we had a small band of brahford (aka. tiger) cows to calve out. My hubby was the one getting the paycheck so I wasn't often out helping with them...

Is it my land? Is it my stock? Yes, they are mine! They do not belong to the "democracy". It is not the inherent right of government to decide for me how to be wise. You speak of wasted wildlife. What about my wasted cows? Can I eat the moutain lion after it consumes the cow I was planning to...

I know of something that works great on bio stains and on oil based stains. You can get it at Wal-Mart (please noone tar and feather me cause I said that) and I'm sure your local hardware store can get it if you ask. It comes in a big purple jug, and its made by Castrol. Mechanics use the...
