Well I made it back-camped in plentywood Wednesday night then headed out after dinner for Miles City. Met Faster horses and her hubby for supper then we went and watched Ty ride-not much of a horse but he got into the short go. Friday morning I had a buddy call me-I haven't seen him in years so it was nice to have breakfast and catch up. headed to Faster Horses after Ty and I hit the Range Riders Museum. I saw a great set of char/Red Angus cows just east of the Powder River-they were hunting their calves along the highway-good practical set of ranch cows I thought. Then I hit Faster Horses and Jack and I told stories while FH fattened us up lol. saw some country delivering mineral with Jack in the morning-found out the rodeo started at 11'00 instead of 2'00 so I drove 75 miles in 45 minutes lol. ty had a good horse but he spurred it too hard the third jump and caught his left spur on the right side of his cantle-got dashboarded-he gets a good horse so rarely down there he gets tp tryin'maybe a bit hard. A lady was giving away puppies at the gate so of course I took one-anybody ever hear of an Idaho Shag-it's a sweetie-travelled real well. Ty and I said good byes and I headed back to P'wood-helped get set to gather cattle this morning-I sure wanted to saddle a horse and stay but couldn't. Got my puppy through customs and headed home- great weekend got to see some old froiends and make some new ones-really enjoyed visiting with FH and her husband-they've got a good set of cattle for sure.
 
Glad you had a good trip. I bet it made it little bit better with the good pup at side.

The good Char/Red cows, where were they? We have some good customers up that way. I am sure they aren't them as their are alot of cattle out that way, but ya never know.
 
We were glad you could stay NR. Really enjoyed the time spent.
I figured the way you hot footed it out of here Satruday, you'd get to
Miles in time to see Ty ride. Wish it had turned out better for him.
Those horses were so trashy...the cowboy in him certainly showed
when he covered the first chute-fighter on Thursday night. :shock:

You are invited here anytime.

The red char cattle belong to Harding Land and Cattle.
They'd had that cross for a long time--not sure what cross it
is tho.
 
She looks exactly like a Bernese Mountain dog-supposedly she is out of a Shag bench who had an illicit encounter with a wayward border collie-I think I may be Canada's largest F1 idaho Shag breeder-if I could get one more pup up here we could form an associuation and have our annual meeting at the Denver Stock Show. I thought the Idaho Shag was some dance Yanuck did on Saturday nights.

oh you're funny!! :P , we have a Border Collie/Airdale cross and I thought maybe thats what they called an Idaho Shag?
 
I couldnt find anything on a Idaho shag but found this about the Dorset Blue Shag.......
It was the farmers that really took their dogs because they knew that they would need them. The Scots took their old Scottish Collie or Colley, a dog very much like the modern Bearded Collie, in fact the modern Bearded Collie is directly descended from the old Scottish Collie. The English took their Smithfield Sheepdog and Dorset Blue Shags, both are very closely related to the old Scottish Collie. The farmers from Devon and Cornwall took their "Magpie" dogs, a dog not unlike a large Border Collie with very distinct black and white markings. From the hill farms of Westmoorland and Cumberland the farmers took their Cumberland Sheepdog, another dog of somewhat Border Collie type. Of these dogs both the Smithfield and the Dorset Blue Shag were often docked quite tailless.
