Late January 2015

Heifer calves

At their winter quarters

Sunset through the windshield

Pulling a baler home

I'd better start watching the road.

All natural pitchfork

And an old-time wagon at a gallery in Hill City, South Dakota

The moon, a star, and a jet stream

Badger and Sparky, by George

Two out of three are paying attention.

A rainbow to the north is rather rare, especially in January in Nebraska.

Music makers at the Bowring Ranch

A story being told

Ready to ride the range in a Ranger

Trailing cows home

It's easier to pull a chain than to push it.

I call foul! Ranch regulations repealed? What's that pup doing near those cows? You just can't believe what a guy tells you anymore. :lol:

The dog is considered innocent until proven guilty. :wink:

Sometimes to have and keep good help, concessions have to be made.

Looks to me that Badger will be pretty protective of those twins.

Re. "two out of three paying attention" could also be "and one is watching the road intently".

Great photo's, as usual. Such pretty sky pictures are pretty easy for us in this part of the country.

The events at Bowring look like lots of fun. Hope we can get there someday when they are having an event. About a hundred miles from here, and we've only driven through a time or two when there was no activity.

I was originally going to suggest that this was possibly the case, but chose the route that was more entertaining to me. That was, to poke at you with a bigger stick! :lol:

What was the Baler? A new one?

It is our Vermeer Super M baler. We took it to Valentine at the end of haying to have it gone over. It should be in good "field ready" condition when haying rolls around in late June. At least that is our hope and desire. :wink:

 

[Big Muddy rancher]

Strange they didn't talk you into a new one.

We got that all settled. They found an extra coupon, and I got a free roll of net wrap.
