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
.
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!!!
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.

. 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!
