Nice pictures! Handy to have access to neighboring pasture.

The brands on those calves are big enough to read from a 1/4 mile.

Soap is wind damage in your country a routine affair?

The wind is usually not quite this bad. I remember in May of 1977 we had some straight line winds that wreaked havoc across the area. Several pivots were flipped over about 20 miles southeast of us. The big doors blew off of Dad's sale barn. A neighbor lost an open shed. Many windbreaks went down, and tree branches were strewn everywhere.

Another time back in the 1980's, Peach and I returned after dinner from a neighbor's branding, and the wind was ferocious. Shingles were blowing off of our 14' x 80' house trailer. I climbed up on the roof and placed several cement blocks in strategic locations to prevent further damage.

We get enough wind to never let our guard down. :roll: It does enhance arrowhead hunting. :wink:

Our neighbor who has been collecting Native artifacts his entire life likes the wind to blow for the same reason.

Would you post some photos of some of your finds?

Thanks Soap.
