They had just arrived back at their ranch from trailing cows several miles home from summer pasture.

A heifer calf I am entering in the Sandhills Cattle Associaton carcass contest, chosen because she is big and growthy and has a white belly.

Gee whilikers!

My grandson was trying to scare me.

These grandsons don't look quite so scary, but they do look scarily alike.

Trailing cows into the corrals to preg check

Taking them back to a pasture where they can fall graze for awhile

Grandkids having fun

A Queen and a pair of Jokers

Hot tubbing on a snowy day

Racial tensions seem minimal.

No worries, mate.

Yearling heifers spent the summer close to the Niobrara River.

Heading them up off the river bottom

It's a pretty good pull.

Steep country

But they are getting closer.

Strung out and headed for home

On the move

Soap thank you so much for the pictures of the kids and cattle. I hope you all have a wonderful new-year!

Things look good thanks for taking the time to post these photo's as I know that takes some time. Heifers look really good.

Always great to see what's happening at the Spearhead

Soap I was wondering, Is the Spearhead still going forward or did Kosmo change direction? :wink: :wink: :cowboy:

The Kosmo Kid has really taken hold, and is pretty much running the outfit. He has a good man, Jesse Hare, who has helped him for almost two years. They have put in quite a bit of new windbreak and continuous fence, and are making things look nice. A lot more of this could stand to be done, but just doing necessary cattle work and feeding takes up most of our time. My sister rides around with me to open gates and cut netwrap, but we are still rather vital components to keeping things going also. Everyone still seems to stay pretty busy, especially Grandma with five grandkids a lot of the time.

I had no doubt thing would be running well, just wondered if the Spear was point UP instead of just forward.

But then how would the cows behind the leaders know which way to go. :lol:

All the best to your outfit from ours in the New Year.

If the arrow is forward or up, that is good. We just don't want it to point down or backwards. :cboy:

Soap, things look your way.

Everything looks great, Soap! Did you sell some of those heifers as bred? They sure look nice.Some really good shots there.

Happy New Year to you all!

We did sell some bred heifers on November 2nd at Valentine Livestock, and some private treaty a couple weeks ago.
