My journal entry for Monday, June 10, 1968

We got up slightly earlier than usual and had breakfast. Sandra and Sybil were in on this early rising, too, as they had to help move cattle at the Leach Place.

As the pickup was not yet in working condition, we all piled into the car. In town, we picked up Doug and Ken. Ken used his Dad’s saddle, as his was down south in the “shack” at their summer pasture.

We got in the horses. I rode Jig, and Sybil used Sassy. Lloyd and Doug didn’t ride. The rest of us, numbering five, rounded up the cattle in the west meadow. We cut out six cows and four calves. The rest (266 head of “big stuff”) were trailed the three miles to the northwest Fuchser pasture. Ken, Sandra, and I loped on back and put the 10 culled cattle in various other pastures. Sybil and Dad rode some fence at the Fuchser pasture.

Dad had to go home for a school meeting. He, Sandra, Sybil, and Ken took off so Doug, Lloyd, and I ate our lunch.

I stapled the new fence running east from the Myers Place. The other guys tore down some old inadequately placed fence, and I hauled three loads of the refuse to the junk pile. We tore down some old board fence and a dilapidated shed. We quit at 7:00, and bombed home in the four-wheeler to do chores.

Dad, Mom, and the girls went over to Fairheads this afternoon. Dad went with Uncle Joy to look at some land that he might buy, which is part of the Brown Ranch near LaCreek.

I received a drawing from Mrs. Helen Knights (Dad's second cousin from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada) in the mail.
