Looks like a good job done.

Wasn't that wind something today?

We trailed cows and Hfrs about 9 miles today. Sure felt good to get in out of the wind. Went out to finish up chores and it was dead calm. :x

Don't sound like the calm will last past tonight-- as they have high wind warnings for tomorrow for all of eastern Montana and big parts of the Dakotas...Winds as much as 55 mph :shock:

 

[Faster horses]

What I read said 60 mph. Ain't it fun?

And what do we get 90 days after a big wind?

Another big wind...YUK...

Batten down the hatches everyone!!!

Looks like a busy day with the satisfaction of having accomplished a lot when it was over.

Speaking of hot tubs.......Just this morning, I heard about a rancher who is not really known for taking any extra baths. In fact, he is more well known for the fact that he hardly ever takes a bath. A year or so ago, he invested in a hot tub. He now makes his brags that baths are no longer necessary at all, because a nightly dip in the hot tub takes complete care of that problem. He says that buying the hot tub has an extra bonus, because it is a great place to warm up chilled baby calves, as long as you hold their nose out of the water so they can't drown.

The hot tub sellers should really capitalize on the selling points that this fellow has come up with for multiple uses of a hot tub. :wink:

Hanta I think I remember you using dry ice. Have you tried LN2? Does it work as well?

 

[the_jersey_lilly_2000]

Wonder if Jassy warms baby calves in her hot tub? Hahahaha

If not....well then someone needs to inform Mr Jassy of it's "other uses" he might be all for it :wink:

We've never tried LN2, we've spent the last 15 years "tuning" up our method to where it is foolproof, don't want to change now Actually, dry ice is easier to get here, we walk into Albertson's grocery store and pick some up. We don't have the container to hold LN2 for freeze branding a bunch of critters, plus it's a pain to get hold of. :?

UGH. I can imagine what the water in his hot tub looks like :shock: :shock: I'm busy enough without having to empty it and clean it daily :shock:

Well, it didn't and it's blowing like a banshee again today...only worse. Glad we got the job done yesterday, I don't feel like eating any more bovine hair again today....poor baby calves and they probably better lay pretty low today or they'll blow away :shock:

Nice pictures (and captions ), Thanks. Nice to know the wind missed us for once.

Yeah-- me too-- on things like this :lol: ...Morning started off beautiful with no wind-- but by the mid day she was howling about 40-45 mph...Actually made it feel a little chilly....Worked and weighed up 9 loads of calves- and every chance I got I ducked back in the scalehouse to get out of the wind.... :shock:

These calves today came from that area of Willow Creek just up the creek from me, where I had the pictures of the spring flood I posted- those are their corrals I had in the pictures....Moisture must have helped as the steers weighed up at 649 lbs....Heifers were around the 590 mark.....
