This is normally a shallow lake. Now it's a dried up old lake bed.

It looked like a heifer calf in the last picture, but it's a steer.

Fortyandfound800x600_zpsbb8be4f7.jpg

Forty and found. This normally means forty dollars a month plus room and board. In this case it means that the forty head were all found.

Had a nice visit with this gentleman at the sale barn. Ray Hunter is his name, and he wrote a very interesting book about his life of being a cowboy.
The book is entitled DIM TRAILS, and I'd highly recommend it. For more information, here is a link.

Your granddaughter has the prettiest eyes, good looking grand kids!

Nice looking calves. Sure wish i had some of that green grass or anything that looks anywhere close to green. Looks like the middle of winter in our parts. Driving around our area it's surprising how good the calves look for the year we had.
