The weather has been great this past week, highs in the 60's... but all good things must come to an end :roll: :) . It snowed 8 inches yesterday, and another 10-16 inches are forecasted for tonight.

I couldn't remember if I'd posted this picture already... it was taken last month :D .

The heifer calves really liked lasts week's weather. They weren't very happy being locked in the corral during the last storm.

The older cows finally had a chance to fill up good last week.

This meadow will likely be underneath a reservoir someday. I discovered extensive documents for it as far back as 1999, without ANY prior notification to Jim. Private property rights anyone??? Plans have been shut down for now... but I'm afraid it will come back. The media has definitely been my friend in fighting it :wink: :) .

The new fence! The problem is that the likely trespasser will be the City of Cheyenne and their reservoir plans... something this fence won't quite be able to keep out.

And to think we didn't have enough water in this creek for several drought years to water many cows. This year it's overflowing!!! :D

Peeking over the edge of the canyon. Yesterday we went lion hunting. Early this fall we were having problems with them, but thought we had the issue under control. However, this week their was another lion kill in my calving lot, 300 feet from my back door :shock: . My new cows are in that lot, and you can imagine how quiet they are now :roll: .

Antelope in the yard this morning... no wonder the lion are next to my house.

I trailed the bred heifers home, and put them with the heifer calves this week.

The older cows are busy eating this morning, before the storm hits.

A few of my recent purchases :D. I bought a few solid mouth cows and a heifer calf from a complete dispersal last weekend. They sold a few calves as singles, and this heifer barely got a bid, so I purchased her for $425. She'll look better once her hair grows back :lol:. I thought of you Mytfarms when I was bidding on her!

Pretty Country, Pretty cows, purty nice!
Can you harvest those bug-killed ponderosas ? or does the Sierra Club or some such entity have sway over that?

We can harvest them. The environmental wackos have put a halt to harvesting on forest ground, and in the Snowy Range, something like 70% of the trees are now dead :shock: :mad: . The healthy trees are in spots where logging occured...duh! Really, I think a fire is what's needed to get these forests healthy again.

OT, I'll do my best :D . I'll give the cows a little hay today, but they should be fine after that. It's supposed to clear this week.

Enjoyed the picture show. Such a ruggedly beautiful spot on the earth. We are well on the way to loosing our pine as well. BC is busy sending us their beetles as they are about done with them. Fight the fires for 100 years and don't recycle the forest and this is what you end up with.

Looking good WR, still wouldn't trade that country for this. I can hear the wind whistling through your photos every time I look at them. :wink:

Me too!!! My friend thought maybe I could bait them by staking out some cheap colts from the salebarn :shock: :lol: ... tempting, but don't really want them getting a taste for horse meat :wink: .

That seems to be a common prairie affliction - "flat lander" syndrome :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Down here on the Gulf Coast there's alot of Loblolly Pines dying of pine-bettle infestation, most of them I've seen are ones standing out separate from others. Haven't been up to East Texas in a long time. A neighbor lady of ours from Huntsville, Tx had a funny story about some GreenPeace types chaining their selves all together on her brothers dozer trying to stop him from getting to work pushing them in to a burn pile. Long story made short, they all walked back to town, still chained together and escorted by the Sheriff.
