Some belated pictures

[Nicky]

I finally had time to upload pictures (thanks to the rain ) So these are from the last month or so.

Taking the cows to Thief Valley (leased property). A rest stop at the bottom of the hill

Going up the trail

Did you want me?

Don't you go back

I mean it!!

This is why they can only go up the trail one or two at a time (and the trail is WAY better than it used to be!)

Lunch break

Tired dog

Are we there yet?

Mike, Gunner and some rocks

Playing on a snow drift

Taking the bulls up the next day...Dolly bringing them through the gate

First calver posing

Another nice pair

Snoozing by the drift...maybe it's like a beach

There is a fence under that drift :???:

We did get it fixed before the cows found it

Caleb and his girlfriend last weekend

Nice photo's,would be fun to ride through that country just once.Most likely never will but it would be different than here for sure.

 

[Nicky]

Well come on out

 

[Ned Jr.]

Nice pictures. Looks like some good cattle and lots of rocks. Glad to hear you got some rain.

Awesome pictures! For us sandhillers, your trails looks scary! My kid is working up in Dubois WY this summer, and his first experience riding a mt. horse on trails like that was in a snow storm...he said he just had to trust the horse and they made it ok...He did comment on how different it is to ride a horse that knows rocks and hard trails, compared to ours who only have to watch out for gopher holes and soapweeds...Not sure I'd like that kind of riding...Thanks for posting them...

 

[Mrs.Greg]

Great pics Nicky,you already know I love your cattle!!! Hugs to Caleb!

 

[CattleArmy]

I love Oregon so a special thanks for posting your pictures. However the Oregon I travel has a lot more trees!

 

[WyomingRancher]

Neat pictures! You do live in beautiful country. If you ever need a home for Dolly, just let me know :wink: . You must have pretty tough dogs to travel that terrain.

Thanks for sharing!

Enjoyable group of pics as usual Nicki! Good lookin set of range bulls...home raised?

 

[Nicky]

Thanks everyone We're moving the cows today so will have new pictures to post. We were able to leave them in the first pasture over a month...last year we couldn't use that pasture due to no water. So we are very thankful this year!

Cowsense - The bulls are homeraised (all but two, and they are our least favorite).

CattleArmy - I wish our part of Oregon had more trees :wink:

Jassy - riding here definately takes some getting used to, we'd start you out slow

WyRancher - it does take some pretty tough dogs, that's why I'm needing a puppy. Dolly gets awfully sore after a long day of those rocks.

Great pictures Nicky . Pretty area too. I see you grow rocks well there too. :wink:

Most of the time we grow rocks better than anything else :?

 

[Faster horses]

W. Montana is very rocky...especially where we lived.

Our old neighbor was visiting with someone he had never met at a bull sale. The stranger mentioned that on some ridges he had rocks.

Our neighbor kinda grinned and replied, "I have rocks everywhere it seems, but some ridges I don't have any."

Dogs get tired but seem to want to go the next day..Especially if you rotate them and they see the others "getting to go"....... To have an ounce of the ambition of a cowdog....

Thanks for Sharing Nicky,


Edited to say...It is my Sunday Rotation at church...I was up trying to think of a Stewardship Message for Church and Struggling..... Your Dogs gave me an idea and inspiration. I will share it later, but wanted to say Thanks....
