    Happy Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving to all except the Canadians who celebrated Thanksgiving a month ago. But some of them will probably double dip and feast again today.

    Bought a couple of cows today

    Compared to last week today was a pretty short sale. I got 2 cows bought. When I got home I glanced at the brand release paper. Right off I noticed something. One of the cows I bought came from a neighbor. A lightning C on the left rib. We will have to make sure we get that cow branded and...

    It’s good to have trees

    Yes and I replied. But my reply doesn't show up so I did it again.

    It’s good to have trees

    The only tree on my place are cottonwoods along the river. The beavers seem determined to rid the world of them. There are still some juniper patches on the hill but getting up there to feed would be an issue. And the fences are all gone from the fire.

    Flaker Feeder

    Yes. Both dogs. I can't open the door without them jumping in or at least trying. Then me pushing them over to make room for me to get in. Mongrel mutts......

    Fujiwhara

    This is fine but where was all this rain back in September when I would have done some good.

    Flaker Feeder

    This flake feeder is the best thing since sliced bread. Cut feeding time in half. So much safer. Feeding is a pleasure not a chore. Doing it from the comfort of the cab with the heater turned up. No more dealing with snotty old range cows and having to have the dog save me. Or crawling up...

    Please lock your trailer gates when hauling cattle

    I just ran to the post office. It is 5 miles to there. I saw cows standing beside the road in 3 different places. About a dozen cows total. Like I said here the cops here would just drive by them like everyone else. Now the interstate is a different deal. One gets on there and everyone...

    Please lock your trailer gates when hauling cattle

    Amazing the cops have that one tied down. A lot of cops would just shoot it. And here where it is all open range they would just leave it alone.

    Midwestern Beef Predator Control

    Not many members here from the area you listed. There was in the past but not so much any more.

    Good snow

    I have way too many things to get done before the snow flies.

    BE SURE TO VOTE!

    I was on the ballot for the local soil and Water conservation district. Watched the election returns until late last night. All they talked about was Trump and Harris. Not a word about my election. These news media people don't know what is important. I had to look up the results on Elkhorn...

    Long day at the sale

    The older I get the more I hate night time driving. But if I had got in line to get loaded I would have been midnight by the time I got home I just jump on the tail of a semi and follow on their tail.

    BE SURE TO VOTE!

    If I were any farther from Portland I would be in Idaho.

    BE SURE TO VOTE!

    I saw on the news last night that the businesses in Portland were boarding up. Like they are expecting a riot tonight or tomorrow. Is that a sign of an early election prediction? Sort of like Ground Hog Day or the Indians having lots of fire wood means it is going to be a cold winter.

    Long day at the sale

    Last Thursday I hauled in a kill bull and cow for B. Left the house before 9:00. Got to the sale a little before 11:00am. Watched a couple thousand feeders sell. Only got one cow bought at about 7:00pm. They got done with bred cows and started in with kill cows at about 7:10. Dashed to the...

    Chris Owen, artist

    I have "Heading up French Glen" by William Matthews hanging in the living room. I have had that one for over 12 years. My wife owned a ranch just south of there for about 14 years. A couple from church lives just west of there a ways. They walked into our house the picture stopped them...

    A good cinch

    I have a friend who years ago was working for an outfitter in the River of No Return wilderness. He was crossing the Salmon River with a pack string. Something happened and the entire string went down in the river. He went to cutting cinches and latigoes to get them back on their feet. Got...

    Wire roller

    Barb wire will hang up on every thing putting resistance on the spool. Looks like I won't have to buy it. The Feds decided to cost share picking up the old fence and building new. I have a wire unroller that mounts on the back of a quad. It is pretty simple and easy to use and cost about...

    Son's deer

    A friend of theirs gave her a 243. She has been shooting it already. So I think next year the deer are in trouble.
