Good story! Glad they got to see and experience a real ranch. Something they will remember forever. Over the years we've had different exchange students stay here for a week as they were getting ready to head back home after their year in America. They all spoke fleuent english by then...

It's definately spring on the prairie. Seems the weather changes daily. We've gotten a couple good snows in the past 2 weeks totaling a foot. More snow then we've had all winter. Only thing is the total moisture out of the snows was just a little over .60. Not complaining but it sure takes...

Great pics Jassy. The pheasant pic sure displays some nice colors. Nicely done! :clap: :clap: :clap:

It started snowing here around 1 AM last night, but never got to going good till this morning. Then we had a good old fashioned blizzard for a few hours. Hard to tell how much snow we got but I'm guessing somewhere in the 6-8" range. Could have used another foot or more as we are...

Movin On, is this a 3 pt bale unroller similar to the one you were talking about. It called a spinoff. It has a long bale spear with 3 fingers that spin on the shaft. It's been a handy piece of equipment for us. Nice for unrolling in tight spots and along the creek where space is limited...

Good pics again Soapweed! Looks like the calves are enjoying life. I can see things are starting to green up in the sandhills, won't be long till the calves are lying on lush green grass instead of hay. Thanks for sharing :wink:

Very well written TTB. You basically hit the nail on the head! Thank you. :clap: We got a wonderful wet 7" of snow out of this little snow event. That should settle the dust for a couple of weeks! Hope you folks got some up your way also. Fat Cow--- First let me welcome you...

Sally is right---It's a calving pen from Box S Mfg. out of Baltic S. Dak. I saw it out at the stock show in Rapid City 3 years ago and had to have one. A very good investment for our operation. Sally : your husband is going to really like calving pen. Main thing is to really anchor it...

Every year thousands of ranchers experience the first calf of the season. Each ranch is different, yet many are alike in some ways. We start the 1st calf heifers earlier then the range cows, so bring them home so we can tend to them closely as they experience their 1st born. I thought I'd...

Great Pic Nicky! Hopefully the birds are just passing thru. We have a lot of eagles pass thru here but have only had trouble with the golden eagles- they are hard on calves) not the bald eagles. Usually they pass thru in early March before we're calving so don't bother us. One...

Nice pics Jigger Boss. Looks like Brannah could handle some seriously cold weather with that coat of hair! Your birds sure have more color then ours around her do. And you capture the colors very well! I'm thinking Paint would like to capture a few of those colored feathered critters...

Great video, that's teamwork and poetry in motion. I've a nephew that broke a colt and trained it in grade school. Now he a sophomore in college and a roper. He is on the rodeo team in Dickinson (team roper- heeler). He and his partner with a few side bets by him heeling without using...

I have an older Sony DSC H5, old cause it's a year old and outdated by now I'm sure. Jassy, I've been trying to get some sun dog pictures also, and it's really tough. Hard to get the true colors. I've only one good rainbow shot with this camera also. I'm sure there's a setting on it I...

This morning was cold Feb. morning. It was -13 with a southeast wind of 15-20. An old rancher once told me that no matter which direction that south east wind is out of, it's always COLD! I'll be the first to vouch for that. Looks are deceiving. I thought it was a warm looking...

Very touching story. Sure gets the emotions going and also reminds me of one of our life experiences. A short while ago my wifes mother passed away after a bought with cancer. She was a sweet little woman, quiet with a wonderful simplicity about her. A devoted mom and housewife she was...

Wow! Now that is progress. Best of luck to him and his family, you're a big part of his recovery. Thoughts and prayers from our neck of the woods!

Subject: Tea time One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me and my brother who is four years older than I am. I was maybe one and a half years old and had just recovered from an accident in which my arm had been broken among other injuries. Someone had given me a little 'tea...

Welcome aboard Emma. Yes it's located along one of our creeks just a couple miles north of the place. I noticed it a couple of years ago and also posted a pic of it last year on Valentines day. All my pics are taken from the confines of our little corner of the prairie. Not exactly a...

Some pics and lyrics from the past couple of days. Just a few flurries, the weatherman said was in store, He was wayyyy off, we got 6 inches or more The toughest little birds, on the prairie no doubt Most leave in the fall, but these guys stick it out! [/img] A cold snapshot taken thru...

Very interesting post Katrina. This is a keeper! I always heat up the left-over pizza, chicken, steaks on the outdoor grill. The less I cook indoors the less mess, keeps wife happy while she's gone. Not as fast as a microwave but taste like you just cooked it. Thanks for sharing these...
