At the Bassett Ranch Expo, June 11, 2009

Ready for the livestock handling demonstration

Each of several squeeze chutes, both hydraulic and manual, are demonstrated with two head of cattle being processed through them.

It is always an intersting comparison.

Occasionally some of the critters get a little excited, and have been known to seek out human targets. :wink:

Drawing for door prizes

A nice young man who thinks his charming and pretty wife might see his picture on here. He says, "Hi, Honey." :wink:

Was lookin thru these photos, with Mr Lilly standin over my shoulder lookin as well....(course the first picture grabbed his attention right away)

But I was tellin him, "It'd be real interestin just walkin around your house lookin at all the neat photo's you have hangin on the walls" and gettin to hear the stories behind them.

Love the one of Peach shakin her finger at you :wink:

I have a daughter with a birthday on the 11th. She was 25. No party as her husband is away taking a course and Tam and i went to a Farmer's mutual insurance supper last night so Tam could fill them in on Sitting Bull's doings in the area. One of these night we will have a cake. Not much of a party with just the three of us.


Happy Birthday Sunflower

Did your daughter get the Jeep for her b-day present?!

That was a photograph of our last big branding, on April 17, 2004. There are 24 equestrians and 26 pedestrians in the picture. This doesn't include nearly that many more ladies and little kids who were on the food committee at the house. Hate to say it, but I don't miss those days at all. It is much easier branding at our convenience with our little wheels, an electric branding iron, and a small but highly competent crew.

Half of it. :wink: She is buying the other half. It is a 2003 model, with just under 50,000 miles.

While wandering around the grounds in Bassett during the ranch expo I saw a woman that I just knew I should know but I couldn't place her. This happens to me all the time. After looking through your pictures it dawned on me it was Peach. I always enjoy looking at your pics.

A heartwarming slice of Americana! Thanks for sharing.
