    Snow pictures

    Still looking for wayward bovines. Found 6 and now only missing 7. Nerve-wracking but they'll show up. It's just tough getting around the desert unless the county plows the roads, which soon drift back in thanks to the wind. Pushing a few down to a cattle gaurd and fence where we used three...

    New Years Day Drive>> The Finish Line

    We made the last little jag of our drive today. It was plenty cool at -10F when we opened the gate and pointed them down the road. :shock: We left the corral at 7:45 and it was still pretty dark thanks to the cloud cover. I mentioned to Phil the they must be pretty wild cattle if a guy has to...

    Some words i wrote about Connecticut

    I just wanted to share something i wrote with you guys here on ranchers. My feelings sometimes come out better in a poem. Senseless It’s a miserable, bleak, cold, desert day And my soul is worn and shredded. The world has gone plumb crazy lately, And I’m afraid of where we’re headed. Evil...

    Connecticut School Shooting

    My thoughts and prayers are with the kids, the teachers and the parents of the school shooting victims in connecticut right now. I cannot beleive someone could do that to children. Just sucks and makes no sense. All we can do is turn it over to the Lord and pray for comfort for everyone...

    Ranches being divided up

    Legacy It was better than 100 years ago, that my family first came west, to settle the edge of the desert, and live in the land God had blest. They came to a land full of struggle, from Holland, way across the sea. But they built and they bled and they died and they loved, here in the land of...

    Fall Gather Part Two

    The 2nd day we met over to Joe's canyon where Phil camps. Here's his O.K. Corral with "Jack" in it. It works pretty nice as a portable trap or as a horse corral during roundup. "Jack" belongs to Wayne and he's a nice young stud horse. Wayne is a great hand with horse and dogs. I admire the way...
