Good times

U's one mean SOB................

I hate snakes..........

Great pics dude.

I'm reporting you to PETA 😁😁

A sampling of today's bug splatter, MT and ND.

That first set of pictures reminds me of George Floyd's arrest, Mr. Jim...

You need more dogs.lol

That snake looks alive?

I'm proud of you, JC. What app did you use?

I like 'em just fine.

Still a good chunk of meat there between the bloodshot parts, Jim.

Guessing he was coiled when you shot him?

Boss man ain't fuuckin' around!


Great pics cuzzin', but you do need a bigger watch and pistol.

That gun looks like a damn toy in your grizzly paw...lol
(P365X?)

Jim;
Good evening to you sir, I'm going to skip my salutation as unless I'm missing something, things are at least pointing in the correct direction at the Conrad Land and Livestock Operation.

Thanks so much for the photos, I very much appreciate them on a bunch of levels.

If I was closer I'd volunteer to come down and help on branding day since I'm not doing that after more than 25 springs being on a branding crew.

Thanks again and all the very best to you and your fine family Jim.

Early fall calves or those pics from back a bit?

That brownish one with the eye spots...................I think we have them here...............or a similar version.

Kids learn by doing. Great PICS JIM......

Jim remind me to never challenge you in arm rasslin! Cool pics!

Glad you got the slithery thing first!

Great way to raise a family

Kids are getting big, Jim!

I think I see the queen back in there? Honey comb and all

REALLY nice to see some young's learning to do it oldschool!

Turtle rescue 911

Hurray for fishing

Your P365XL looks smaller than mine.

Right on Jim Conrad.

Those kids really look like they are enjoying life. Good for you and you’d family.

I wrote an essay about the day my grandfather saved a snapping turtle in the road. It won me a scholarship paying half my college tuition.

That's way better than we got for rescuing one.

Old man brought it home, stuck it in the tub in an inch or three of water.

Old lady got up in the middle of the night to pee and somehow got her finger over the edge and got bit good. Had no idea the dang thing was in there as we arrived home after she had gone to bed.

Snake about a 4 footer?
What kind of rattler is that, Jim?

Killed a 32 incher today - about average for our prairie rattlers.
Ours are marked differently from yours, and only occasionally exceed 3 feet.
Our western diamondbacks are a different story, though!

I guess they are called a Prairie Rattler. He was 3 and a half I bet.

Talk about the old IH equipment and have the nerve to wear John Deere hat damn...lol

Nice!

Remember kids, the only good snake is a dead snake.

Hell yes!

I wasn't going to say anything...lol

Great pics!

Sure is nice and green. Great pics, love dead snakes.

Maybe the sun to go to church at you know something that deserves some respect LOL

Nothing wrong with wearing a (probably?) free hat.

Or cap for the picky folks here.

How about this?


New Holland?

Jimbo.... even if you're just barely makin it on that ranch, you are a very wealthy man. I've only got a couple acres but we are surrounded by 100ac plus farms and ranches..... after growing up on a ranch, I did everything in my power to get my kids as far out of town as I could. Good job buddy.

And now...some refreshments!

Jim,
Wife and I were just sayin today how kid’s today have there life experience in front of a computer screen. We stand corrected, you’re obviously raisin em right! Good for you and your family.

Let me know how that Lowensenf Hot mustard is. The Grocery Outlet has some I was gonna try.

Jim;
Good evening again my cyber friend, thanks again for the photos.

It seems that tonight it's falling upon my shoulders to warn my fellow 'Fire folks of impending danger.

While I'm no turtle expert by any stretch Jim, I too once did the same thing that your son is in the photo.

My experience however would have yielded a different photo.

The day started out as usual with me commuting to work and as I passed by a known turtle pond at the edge of the city I worked in, there on a concrete curb I spied a rather large example of a local red eared turtle attempting to get up onto the sidewalk.

Being a thoughtful sort, I decided it best to pick it up and return it to the pond side, you know where it'd be safe and sound with all it's turtle buddies...

Two things immediately sprang to mind Jim, the first being I didn't know turtles made any sounds but my goodness did this one have a healthy and vigorous hiss!!!

Secondly and more important to the point of my story, I didn't realize that a turtle could possibly contain that much turtle pee or that it could have that much pressure! However it did and they apparently do Jim....

Perhaps let your son know this little known tidbit and he can then prevent himself from having to carry on with the rest of his day with turtle pee on his clothes.

All the best and thanks again for the photos.

Dwayne

,,,👍👍 I got two New Holland balers BR 750 & RB 460 crop cutter

I always wear the opposite cap to the other day you should get your free hats

Great stuff JC.
Free range kids, best kind!

I'll have to look for some of that fancy schmancy tuna to try; looks good.

I love it. This is the sixth or seventh bottle Jeff Bezos has sent me.


Previous to that it came from some place called Gourmet Mustard or something like that.

Friday night at the dirt track

Whats the boy shootin in the first pic last string of pics? Looks like it has some recoil!

Great pics and heartwarming to see at least some kids are being raised right today!!

In full recoil of a 629 Smith.

Most excellent.

Dwayne....we did not know that!!


I will tell Young Richard to pick his end of the turtle more wisely!

Amazon Prime?

Very nice!!!

.

Branding time was one of those moments that was work and at the same time fun.

Even getting shots for blackleg and other ailments by accident could tame the good memories.

The burns healed up fast too.

I'm getting forgetful in my old age. I've got an excuse as I am a product of the late 60's / early 70's and I may have inhaled, unlike a certain politician.

I just went to the pantry to look and sure as scheidt there's a jar of that mustard in there. I bought 3-4 jars the other night while in town, I wanted some more of the Morehouse Horseradish before they sell out so I picked up more of them and I guess I grabbed a jar of the German stuff too. For some reason I thought I grabbed a Sierra Nevada Brewing porter or ale mustard.

On your recommendation, next time I'm in town I'll go back and get a couple of more jars.

I'm slippin' my Eskimo friend. I wonder how long before the real memory problems start.

or maybe flashbacks?

Thumbs up here.

As long as you are having fun...who cares?

Good shiit big Jim! 👊🏻

Couldn't stand it.

Had to order some of that mustard.

That's what that Govt Doctor lady wanted us to do in the classroom, right?

Have fun, even with yourself!

Merica!

Archive every single image Jim.

Mines stored on a terabyte of external hard drive simply organized by year taken.

That HD shares space on a shelf in my safe beside my gold.

As the years have now become decades I've found those images to be of much more value than the gold.

Nice pictures Great shots of the family on the branding Thanks for sharing

Jim, Your cup runneth over!

Always great to see your family and all you guys do together.

Them kids is growin up Jim!
And in a very good way I might add.

I'm sure those hidden boots in the serpent pic are steel toed?

Good stuff big Jim, you and your family are living the good life.

Similar, but slightly different, than our local variety.
Thanks, and be careful, Jim. Kiddos too.

I've seen a few bullsnakes here, yesterday was the first rattler.
I believe the drought has affected their numbers, too.
For several years, I'd average ~ 14 per year - now it's been one for several years, now.

Great stuff Jim !!!

Family first & foremost.

This one, (& the workin') makes me think of this !!

Thanks for posting pics of your crew!

Kids being learnt to live life, Atta boy Jim!!

BTW, That young lady looks exactly like her Momma.

Wouldn't come up for me.

Good perspective !

Luke Combs - Long necked ice cold beer never broke my heart !

Looks a bit like the big fella too !

Thank God! (No offense Jim)

What ^^^he^^^ said. You have a great place and a fine family Jim!

Great photos

Not sure that thing is dead enough for me!

Thanks for the memories. Glad to know there is still a slice of America live and well.

Great pics!
