Are here again.


Today we got the last of the cows the hell outta here!

Only about 80 days later than normal but they are gone to the big country. Drought issues from 2021 regarding grass and water so it was the latest turnout of all time.


The final load was 40 pair of 2 year old first calf heifers and their calves. We've been keeping them in one of our little pastures close to home but it was getting grazed off and it was beyond time for them to hit the hills.

We hadn't had a semi pull out of this little creek bottom corral in over 10 years. Seems like the trucks have gotten lower and the trailers longer so we were nervous. Took our trucker/rancher friend up on Tuesday to take a look and he thought he could pull it off. And much to our relief he did. I didn't get pics of him spinning up a little hill but the ol' Pete was grunting.
