A thirsty day
Dinner time
Cold steak and all the trimmings :wink:
Some of the calves are pretty big.
But the calf trap holds them securely
Later in the day, Katrina (of Ranchers.net fame :wink: ) brought by a nice young lady who is competing for South Dakota Rodeo Queen. Genna Buettner will be participating in competition at the Belle Fourche Rodeo over the 4th of July. For the horsemanship part of the competition, she will need to ride two ranch horses that she has never seen before, on saddles she has never ridden in before. Katrina had called a few days ago to see if it would be alright for Genna to ride our ranch horses. We felt honored that they thought our horses worthy of practicing on. Genna is a fine young lady who would do a great job in representing South Dakota. We wish her well.
