Had a little time on my hands lately. :wink: But i still have been packing my camera. Last week we had a church activity with our wives. I got volunteered to be the cook. We met at a neighbor's place at a little park they have. The local wildlife don't look too wild! 
Supper was dutch oven style. Nothing like standing over a firepit in July! :roll: What I won't do for my friends!
The park has a small pond with a nice veiw of the new pivot irrigation system. Sure is simple to irrigate 160 acres if ya spend some money! :wink: We had supper and then played volleyball in the park. Too busy spiking and blocking to take pictures! :wink:
Then i went checking on my cows. This is a bull i thought i'd raise and see what I got. Kinda needs to be a steer. :???: The bull behind him is much better looking>
Oniquai mountains and my pasture. Turned over 15 acres last fall but wasn't able to follow through on plan to improve the ground. Grew some pretty nice bindweed!
A nice small framed cow I like and her heifer calf.
My lone red angus cow chomping bindweed. Looks like she's summerin' fine!
Her calf who was born the end of April. Not to nervous about me or my shadow.
My only steer calf out'a 6 head. I know, I know I gotta quit bragging on my bunch, but their all mine. Hope to keep a couple heifer calves and buy a couple registered heifers if were able. This calf's cow raises soggy calves.
They got crested wheat, bunch grass and brome up to their bellies but they'd rather eat morning glory! :shock:
I spent today hauling hay for a neighbor with his balewagon. Was a cloudy 98 degree day. Looking up the valley to the south from down in the hayfield.
Can ya see the pup coyote?
Then I accidentally mentioned I happened to know BMR and poof! He was changing area codes!
Had to move some bales away from the wheel line so i snapped a picture of my ride. Hauling oat hay today.
From the other side with the metropolis of Vernon in the background.
I hauled the hay out to a place west of town. I have hauled all thier hay this year. Something like 3500 bales but who's counting. The stackyard on the Lazy H Ranch. See why I'm called Leanin' H? Lazy H was already taken!
Got it stacked and ready for another load. I can haul 99 bales a trip.
The most troublesome stack of hay in the yard. All of it is Tall wheat grass. They get one cut a year thankfully! Hauled 900 bales of baled sticks. It is actually decent filler feed but doesn't bale worth a dang and hauls worse. I was moving at the speed of a deceased turtle on each trip. Got it stacked alright.
Had 61 bales left in the field for a short load. Here's another wild critter. A red-tailed hawk sitting on a post.
A tad bit closed via the zoom. :wink:
Like the coyote, the hawk decided i was too close for comfort. And I even took a shower this mornin'! :???: Glad my neighbors still use small bales as It gives a certain slacker something to do! :wink: Hope ya'll are having good weather to put up your hay.
