    Littlest H’s guide service

    We helped a friend take a buck out here where we live. It’s a limited draw area and he lives in town and other than chasing a lion or two doesn’t know the mountain like we do. Always a great time to be outdoors and looking for deer. This buck isn’t a giant but he was over the moon happy and...

    Sunrise I needed

    I got a call this morning that a close friend I’ve worked with for years died of covid late last night in Florida. It’s sure been a tough morning. Allen was a fine man and always had an easy grin and a love of life. I’ll miss him. I was hurting and feeling mad. And then I happened to look east...

    Wet small bales-question

    So I bought 200 small bales of oats and new alfalfa today. (Next time I do stupid things like this because I’m notoriously cheap, would one of y’all please hit with a shovel before I close the deal?) Anyway, they were baled right but have been rained on in the field twice. They average 85 pounds...

    Frosted Flakes

    Fall has arrived and brung along its slightly colder cousin winter. A balmy 12F here this morning. The mountain has a dusting of snow left from the storm two days ago.

    Fall colors

    We spent ten days chasing mule deer with our muzzleloaders in SE Utah. Had a lot of fun and made some happy memories. The deer won the war and we didn’t bring any home. But we had plenty of opportunities and passed a zillion bucks. Thought I’d share some scenery pics from the Abajo mountains-...

    Some cows on a Sunday evening

    I took some panels over to my leased pasture this evening to keep the blankety blank bull from rubbing is head on the pipe where the water comes into the trough. Dang bulls are a pain in the hind quarters except to about 45-60 days a year. Bless their hearts. Snapped a few pictures as the sun...

    Cows are home early in 21

    As everyone in the west knows, it’s been a dry son of a gun all year and several years running. I’ve always worked hard to be a good steward on the range I lease and run my cattle on. But when the grass is gone, it’s gone. So I brought them home Friday. Hard to swallow when it’s August instead...

    Cool old photo

    My grandmother killed this buck the the 40’s. We call him “Old Moe”. His antlers hang in my Moms house. He is a dandy for sure. My Grandma is the lady with black hair on the right and my Grandpa is closest to the camera on the right

    When tow trucks need a hand 😁

    Headed home tonight across my usual desolate road I commute on I found a Feller in need of some help. He was on his way to rescue a hotshot driver who lost his transmission and encountered a wet patch of road. He decided to attempt to going around in in two wheel drive that was a poor decision...

    Adios my wonderful friend

    I had the privilege of working for the Olson family from the time I turned 14 through my 22 year. They are salt of the earth folks who have ranched successfully here on the desert for lots of generations. Cal Olson was my mentor/friend/neighbor for my entire life. He passed away a few years ago...

    Thoughts on Vaccine

    Since the pandemic began, I haven't had a day off. I’ve shown up 7 days a week to work and I have done whatever it takes to feed my family and to feed yours. Ya see, I am a rancher. My cattle require care and water and feeding everyday, regardless of what happens in the world. When you all went...

    Stock Show poetry

    To Reagan- Today, I saw the measure of compassion. I saw a lot of kids just going with the flow and idling along, Smiles and laughs as they cleaned up pens, Without a care and nothing was wrong. And that is perfectly fine, of course. Another stockshow is over and done. But what touched my...

    Stockshow success 😁

    It’s our county jr livestock show this week. Little H has moved on from high school but she still sells lots of lambs to kids on the county. Littlest H has two pigs this year. His white pig “Pops” did well but we knew he’d most likely be a red ribbon hog and he was. But we had high hopes for...

    Grand Marshall’s of our parade

    Our town July 4th celebration was today. The committee asked my parents to be grand Marshall’s. Pretty cool honor. I spiffed up the old Dodge and they road on the back and threw candy. Had some help from their grandsons. Good day
