Waln bucking horse sale, September 23, 2010

[Soapweed]

Hard at work or hardly working? Hardly any hair. :? :roll:

Oh wait; there is a hare in the air. :wink:

At the Waln bucking horse sale held at the fairgrounds in Martin, South Dakota

Each horse was bucked out and then auctioned off.

Slickers were the order of the day.

Good thing the mud was soft.

These guys found a little dry ground to stand on.

Going for the gold

Lots of action all day

The wind was quite vigorous blowing rain into the grandstand. There wasn't a dry seat in the house.

The picnic tables out front didn't see much use.

Palomino mare

You could even bid big bucks on a bucking bull

If you wanted to

With the yearlings, buy one or several.

Take your pick, however many at so much times the money.

Lots of bucking potential with the youngsters. It was a fun way to spend a rainy day.

Thanks for taking us along, Soap. I hope you got some of that
rain at the ranch.

Three tenths of an inch, but is was very welcome.

That rain over the weekend was COLD!!! I attended a funeral Saturday morning and as we were pulling into the cemetery, the skies opened up and it started to pour. Coming home Saturday afternoon, pulling into the garage and the van was showing a balmy 49 :roll:

I'm sure glad its you getting the rain-and not us for a change.. Last few days we have been getting sunand 70, 80, even 90 degree weather-and yesterday finished up the combining.... Today I'm going to move the cows that are in the home pasture overand put them on the stubble fieldsand let the calves puss up on all the grass around the fields...

A lot of hay in the area left to be put up- but days like yesterday - 88 degrees with a 25-30 mph wind sure are helping it get cured out.....
