Kind of a busy day - June 5, 2014

Sorting the bugs out of the cattle

Taking the last bunch to south of Highway 20

The grass is green and growing.

Coming down the meadow

Jesse and Goose

Logan on Roanie

Grandkids in the car. Peach opening the gate.

Two of my children

Getting on down the road

Nifty old cars in town

Gathering our late calves to brand in the afternoon

We stopped to let them match up.

Before taking them on to the corral

Crew at work

A father and son team of great calf pushers. They even have matching haircuts.

Great pictures as usual Soap. Cows sure are slicked out nice. Good to see your grass coming along and having the daughter home to help must be a pleasure.

I fully agree. You can tell a youngster, but you can't tell them much. :? :roll:

What? Were you old guys talking again? :lol: :lol: :lol:


I know what you mean. My Grampa had some pieces removed here and there before he passed. The usual areas where you sunburn the worst hauling hay and riding for 60-70 years. It really hit home with me the first time I saw Grandma bring him home with his ears bandaged up.

I only saw one straw hat ( same one twice)

I'm recovering from some 'carving' and skin grafting on an ear yesterday......and I was never much of a sun worshipper and never burned, either! Just used caps too much the small amounts of time I was out instead of the better coverage. Will definitely be using hats more in spite of the size being a hassle! Kinda miserable few days and two weeks attempting to keep the bandage clean and dry seems quite a challenge, too. No taking it off, no matter what, is my understanding, till my appointment with the doc on the 11th of July.

So.......just protect that skin from the sun, whatever it takes!
