Wednesday I took my uncle out for a ride. I rode my good black, broke pony and he rode his colt. This was about her tenth ride and her very first in big country. Rode a section's worth of pasture. Exposed the colt to wire, a windmill, cows, and a wind-break. She sure was wore out when we got back to the trailer! I also caught up and saddled the colts and the gray mare.
Thursday I shoveled chicken hockey and had a ball doing it. Nice and windy so that the dust could get into my nose, eyes, ears, mouth, ect. I stacked a trailer full of wood for the neighbors. Gonna go down by their home place Sunday and cut down a looming tree brach. They're one of the few left in the community that still burns wood regularly, and we have a surplus. Caught and saddled the two green colts we have. Plenty gentle, and they're good and ready for that first ride.
Today I went to the Co-op with Grandma to pick up some chicken feed. 57 bucks for two 50 pound sacks of layer crumbles and 4 bags of corn! Gee whiz, I'm gonna get rid of some more chickens before the snow flies! Cattle all in good shape and I really like the heifers I'm weaning later on this fall. Nice profile, big, and stout. Best of all, I got one reg. Angus heifer and one reg. bull to wean. :wink: Those are my money makers. Tomorrow a good chance of snow with drizzle and wet guaranteed. Gonna stay under a roof and help change oil and breaks. Good day to do it. Can't wait to post pics of cows and horses soon. Just as quick as I can steal the camera away for a few.
