Number one son and his very nice girlfriend

Number two son and his very nice girlfriend

Looking at some beefy bull calves that are for sale

Good cattle grazing in a good grass country

I just really kind of like them.

The sun was almost trying to shine.

Going to round up some rough hilly country on the far side of the ranch

Saddletramp, the Kosmo kid on fall break from college, and Peach Blossom

The camera switched hands

Looking down on Wilson Lake from the top of a high hill

It's beginning to look like fall

Getting our last bunch of calves in to give preconditioning vaccinations

They are all heifer calves

Hopefully of replacement quality

They are all black-hided, for whatever that is worth.

Shooters of the breeze

As we took them back to their pasture, we had to rope one that was sucking on a string of some kind.

She had swallowed this ribbon from a balloon.

Another shot of the ribbon

Putting the cattle through the gate into their new pasture.

[HAY MAKER]

Thanx for the picture story soapweed,good lookin heifers :wink:
good luck

 

[Shortgrass]

Nice looking ladies that the boys are dragging around with them. I can see why you just really kind of like those cattle and that country. I would say it must be feeling a lot like fall too. And then I see that string was so long it went clear through the calf to Saddletramps hull. Black is worth lots it seems these days, especially if the right kind of heifers are wearing it. Those are the kind.

Thanks for the wonderful pictures, Soapweed.
We like the same kind of cattle.

P.S. Are you riding an Appaloosa?

We seem to get a lot of ballons in our pastures. Some have cards attached to them from kids where they have set them loose as a project to map where all they go.

I always answer them back ( not with a ballon of course!!), might as well!!


The cows act as if aliens have landed when they come across a full ballon floating about in the fields...totally freaks them out!!!

 

[Faster horses]

The most freaked out our cows ever got, was when there was a BILLY GOAT in their pasture. I mean, they were UPSET!!!!!!!!!!

You are alot more cowboy than me...lol riding in that misty rain weather...If the sun ain't shinin..I ain't riding...lol I know I know...the fairweather cowgirl...that's me! Glad to see kosmos made it home for fall break, my kid went to the National Convention of Block and Bridle for his break...Over the years we have found balloons out in the middle of the pastures, but never any notes still attached em. One was a happy birthday balloon that was still inflated some. Don't cha just love all this moisture we're getting this fall? Things always look good when it rains. Thanks.

Fantastic photo. Where exactly is the country where it was taken, Soap?

And would you put this one on the calendar you are going to make so
we all can buy one for Christmas? :wink:

I really think this photo should be on it.

 

[Shortgrass]

Jan said that particular photo was another "calendar shot".
