Helping Grandma cook breakfast

Wispy clouds

I got up my courage

And climbed the cake bin to check the level of feed left

Not very proud of this picture

But is was to prove that it wasn't just someone else who used my camera to take these photos.

Their faith is strong to be able to walk on water.

Geese and swans interacting

Moving some cattle

Some of my relatives

Grandma and the twins

Caking cows with high Vitamin A added

It is an easy way to administer a dose. Four pounds of cake (two feedings) with 500,000 units of Vitamin A added equates to giving four cc's of vaccine.

Looks like they have flies, but it is just bits of hay

An eleven year old cow

A three year old cow expecting her third calf. She calved the first time when she was just a yearling.

Girl cousins and an extra

Wild child times three

Sorting heavy cows

Sybil watched the gate

While Goose and I did the sorting

We two old senior-type citizens didn't do too badly

As we sorted 90 heavies out of a bunch of 350, in two hours and fifteen minutes. We worked about a fourth of them at a time, which made the job immensely easier.

The bunch

Messing around

Our cut headed for home

Horses and Rangers work well together.

Strung out

Soap it makes me feel good to see you mounted on Goose, I can not imagine how proud it makes you and your family!! :clap: Faith and hard work has brought you a long way in your rehab. Your pictures are great and the cattle look good as usual. Those grand kids are big enough to check the cake bin if you let them see that picture. :cowboy:

Mr. Cooper, you will just have to believe the shadow in the bottom picture.
