We shipped Spot yesterday. I’m a little busted up about it. It’s not like I’m going on a running drunk or anything. Just a tiny bit (not surprisingly) emotional about him leaving. I knew exactly what I was getting into when I made a pet out of him. I’ve done it before and I will […]

T.H. called shortly after leaving the house this morning. “There’s a steer out on the highway. He’s just south of the cattle guard. Why don’t you get Puncher and your 4-wheeler and see if you can get him in.” Woo Hooo! Me and Puncher, a real mission!!! By ourselves!! Here comes his always very explicit instructions. “Get around him to the south and […]

I was gone for a week visiting my baby girl in Salt Lake City. Mostly we were eating sushi, getting shellac manicures, shopping. When I came home T.H. had cattle stuffed in every nook and cranny of this ranch. T.H. must have been on a big buying spree much like the one I was on in Salt Lake City with my girl. […]

Last fall I discovered my talent as a “Snapshot-ographer”. I even blogged about it RIGHT HERE. Now I am taking my craft to a whole new level. I call them “Hip-Shots”. Basically I lack ample coordination to focus and shoot whilst simultaneously paying attention to my my duties of assisting TH with the cattle. I could get wacked by a steer. So I hold my […]

I call for the cattle. They turn three into the arena. Puncher locks on the cattle. For me that is the rush. I send her “Away”. She stops when she gets to them and looks back at me. Probably waiting for my neurotic evil twin to shout something confusing. I have silenced her. I “woosh” her […]

The part of America where we live is called “The Heartland” Rightfully so. Days like this tell me why it’s The Heartland because I feel it in my heart. TH and I took a drive up north to check on the steers we sent to the feedlot in November. Just some snapshots I took. Crystal blue clear skies are a […]

My new horse shoer came out on Saturday. A younger guy. Jake. He drove 50 miles to get here. I wanted everything to be perfect so if we get along he will come back. It is nearly impossible lately to a.) find a shoer and b.) get one to drive out here. My old “old” shoer quit me last month. He […]

Very early yesterday morning I got all dressed up to meet my friend in town and drive to Wichita for a luncheon and fashion show at a Country Club. Woo Hooo! A girly day. Happy Happy! I drove out of the ranch about 7:30 am. It takes 25 minutes to get to town. I was all dressed up, county […]

On the west end of the ranch, T.H.(Trophy Husband) has a high fence area with a small elk herd. It’s a couple hundred acres of very rugged terrain with lots of grass and trees and hills and two creeks. The fence is about 8 ft. high. It is for trophy hunting of “exotic” type game animals. He […]
