    HS rodeo

    Bulls. Another reason my heart wasn't broke. I think if he'd have qualified in saddle bronc he might have been more inclined to go, as that is where his interest lies.

    HS rodeo

    My son qualified for the finals in Gillette, but he decided against going so he could work. I couldn't argue with that.

    Nothing like a good spring.

    Tomorrow We Celebrate "Secessation"

    There is some interesting history on this continent for sure. You can't know one countries history without a good working knowledge of the others. I hope to have the time one day to be able to spend delving further into this history.

    Map of the drought counties in Mt-ND-SD

    I was listening to Rural Radio on Sirius today, I hadn't realized the size and severity of this drought. I sure hope they get moisture where it's needed. On an unrelated matter, did you feel some shaking this morning FH? I understand there was an earthquake in Montana this morning.

    Tomorrow We Celebrate "Secessation"

    I'm so confused. I looked it up and even Google was confused.

    Tomorrow We Celebrate "Secessation"

    Secessation? Not sure what that is or why you'd want to celebrate it.

    Heifer development

    Just to clarify, our cows do get TM salt, so they do get some trace mineral. We aren't totally without compassion around here :wink:

    A few Juneish pics

    Great to see the 4H pic, such a great experience for the kids. I sold a pair of steers to a couple of neighbour girls last fall for their first ever 4H project. I have enjoyed watching the girls excitement and the steers progression.

    Heifer development

    No we don't, feed tests in the past have shown no need for it, and herd health backs this up.

    Couldn't agree more.

    Heifer development

    FH, we have had this discussion before, and I would suggest that unless you ranch my place you would not be able to make an informed opinion on whether or not cattle raised on this place would benefit from a mineral program. I have not seen a herd on any mineral program in this area outperform...

    Heifer development

    Against what baseline would your mineral study be measured? It appears from my time on this site that many places seem to be mineral deficient, but we know they are not all deficient in the way. In fact, there may even be places where a mineral program will not pay for itself.

    Heifer development

    I figure if a heifer gains a 1.5 lbs a day over the winter they go out on grass with good frame and in good flesh and breed up nicely. That puts them at around 900 lbs when they hit grass.

    Heifer development

    Oh yes, we provide them TM salt. :wink: We also separate first and second calvers from the cows for the winter so they do not have to compete with the old girls, and we can also make sure the feed they get is always of the best variety.

    We feed them hay over the winter and let them eat grass during the summer :D

    cowboys

    It helps for sure. I grew up on the ranch with a father and grandfather that spent a lifetime learning horsemanship. Being a slow learner, I have managed to acquire just enough to get me by but not enough to make me really handy, and just knowledgeable enough to know I don't know much :nod:

    cowboys

    I finally got time to watch the video, that sure does look worth watching. Beautiful country too. I may have to watch it again but the only braided tail I saw was completely braided. As for the fella with the horses foot tied up, that's an old method of preventing a horse from bucking too hard...
