Calves
Tried to get some pictures today of the cattle. The light wasn't good enough and most of them didn't turn out. I did get a good one though of the replacment heifers eating cake.<br />n<br />n<img src="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/calves12102004.jpg"><br />n<br />nSome people have asked what "cake" is and you can see it laying on the ground in…

Wind
Oh, did the wind blow yesterday. This gives me good cause to say, I HATE THE WIND!!! I guess it's good we didn't have any snow on the ground to drift when the wind blew or there would really be a mess. Speaking of snow, where is it. Normally we have some on the ground…

Waiting
We are still waiting for the last of our hay to come in. What's really irratating is the guy told me that he would be here Thursday with a load and he never showed up. We put everything we are doing on hold, my Darling Wife makes our monthly shopping trip to town by herself…

Suprise
I sometimes wonder if my cattle can read my mind. The cows were still out in the hills scrounging for feed and later in the week I was going to let them come down towards home. You will note the "were" in the statement. They decided to break the fence down and come home without…

Travel
The rest of the hay finally came in today. I should be more accurate, the last of the big bales. I also purchased 200 ton of hay in little small bales and I have only gotten 1 load in so far. I am going to have to start getting mean with him shortly. <br />n<br…

Armed
Actually so far it has been a very good hunting season with very few problems around here. I've complained about the few problems, gates left open and alike, and talking about it helps reduce the anger. I've always had people tell me that I should be out aggresively running unwanted hunters off. It would take…

Snow

There is still a little chance this morning but I don't think we are going to get any more. It won't take too much of the white stuff and I will have to start feeding hay to the…

Work
Wish I could say something exciting is going on around here but its not. It's always the slow time of year in November.

Ranchers

It is really a kind of ironic/funny discussion to me since yesterday I helped a neighbor ship and we got on a real similar disscusion. <br />n<br />nIt's amazing these rich people that come along and buy ranches…

Rain
It's one of those things I shake my head about. It's raining <b>again</b> this morning. All spring and summer we can't get a resonable amount of rain to save our souls and now since the middle of September we can't get it to quit. Lukily it stayed dry enough through shipping to get the calves…
