Company for supper last evening

To see a slide presentation of photos taken in Scotland

Sorting steer calf pairs on a chilly afternoon

Riding my mighty mule today

You shouldn't have to fight dust and wear earflaps on the 26th day of May, of any year.

Sundflower dressed for a cold day

The old man and his mule

You know who trying to hog the photo

Guess he succeeded

Getting a drink for the road

Coming through the rye

Going down the trail

You guys are well dressed. How cold? Nothing worse than a dry cold in the spring.

We moved a bunch of cows yesterday and sorted out the dry's and lates. Was a cool damp day with temps in the 50°'s, made it nice for moving cattle.

Talked to a friend this evening that was helping move cattle today, said the cattle were almost hot even before they started.

Great pictures

That looks kind of like having to wear woollies and Mucks during a branding. We opened the gate for a bunch today, this is 3 days later than we have ever gone to grass. The yearling heifers will get hauled to their summer pasture tommorow. The young cows and later born calves will go out on Friday. It has been awful slow this year but the leaves on the brush are coming today.

The temperature got down to 34 degrees right at daybreak, but if it frosted at all it was pretty light.

I am surprised at the attire. We had a near perfect 60 degree day yesterday.

It has been awful slow here too. The chokecherry's and the cottonwoods are starting to get leaves and the ash trees are just starting to bud. Usually everything is leafed out by the first of June.

Everything is flowering here,it's been really nice.

Agreed as to the weather...felt more like a late fall day here yesterday.

That last picture looked like your mule didn't care for the rope swinging...have you roped using your mule before?
