Well kinda hot! :???: Thursday night after my day job we moved a little bunch of newly unburdened by a calf- cows, a cow with a late calf and one ol' holstein steer up to a meadow we lease. The temp was in the 40's but no wind. So we bundled up the crew and away we went! My best Girl and "pumpkin" ready & rarin' to go. (Cept for the rarin' part! :D )

My sweetheart and the little hand are ready also! How do ya like our combination squeeze chute/ hitchin' rail? We do a lot of multi-tasking on this outfit! :D

Had a lane most of the way and only had to play "goalie" on a couple bad spots. They gave me a chance to point and shoot!

Short trip of mile and change. Home till the snow stacks up over the feed. Lots a willows for protection, water and groceries! Heck it's all a cow can hope for! :wink:

There they go to see the place.

Thanks for being good on the drags! I'll buy the hot-chocolate!

Today the front came through. It's in the 20's with a 30 mph breeze. Went lookin' for strays that had come over the top. I rode through the neighbors allotment and made a chilly loop.

Can you read her mind?We are doing what? Or How does a horse file a grievance for damage done to itself by workin' on a cold day? And finally, I hope your butt freezes to the saddle! :evil:

Checkin' the draws and ridges of a burn that has recovered nicely!

The area burned in 94. It was western! Lost 50 some-odd cows across the mountain and hundreds of miles of fence. But after re-seeding this allotment is sure pretty now. All those tree carcasses drank a lot of H20 and without em' look at the grass!!!! Note to folks in the south and east.... Grass isn't always green all the dang time :D Some of ya'll are spoiled! :wink:

Loop made. No wanderin' bovines found. Did see a beu... a bowli.... a beau... a BELTED PAIR! I had planned to write beautiful, bedded, belted bovines but while i was thinking up that saying in my feeble brain the cow stood up! So much for my plan!
