Cattle on new grass

More green grass than green paint

Leaves are coming out.

Cattle on the move

Branding on Friday

Not kicking up any dust

Putting cattle into the corral

Higher in the air than a Goose

Branding in progress

Denim in action

Sweet Potato loading the wheel

She does a good job.

Say hi to your Idaho relatives

The shadows are growing longer.

I should be working instead of taking pictures. :wink:

The fall cows have put on some flesh since the grass greened up.

They seem to be enjoying life.

But there are always a couple critters that can't seem to get along. :?

Good to see no ice on the lake

The cattle we just branded

Typical Sandhills scene

I really like that second picture with the old buildings. Looks like that place could tell some stories.

Love the one of the calf high tailing it thru the puddle. You can still see its "tracks" in the water.

Here is an edited closer up version. I can't think of a good title though, so you or anyone else is welcome to come up with a caption for the photo.

I think the old homestead there is pretty cool. When I was cowboying for a living I never rode by one that I didn't stop and sit by the front door for a few minutes and wonder about the people that lived there and try to see why they picked just that spot and wonder a little bit about what happened that nobody lives there anymore. some of them were built in some mighty pretty spots with good water and if you closed your eyes and listened you could almost hear some laughter on the wind

I can't think of anything clever at the moment, but I have full faith and confidence someone will nail it.
