“Bottle Baby” – Hello, Calving Season!
Cattle don’t usually give birth to twins, and we’ve found that it is best to leave just one calf with its momma, and take the other one away.

Green grass turning different shades of green as the hay is cut, baled and stacked is aContinue reading “Haying in the Green River Valley”
Trailing to the Mountains
The sun starts to lighten the skyline above the Wind River Mountains while the song birds can be heard singing and the warm and cool air currents can be felt as the cowboys ride across the sagebrush, BLM allotment to gather the cattle and start them marching north to summer pasture.

The Pleasures of Calving
The little calves always make calving fun and seem worthwhile no matter how tired you are or how disastrous the situation seems.
