Calving time is approaching. This global warming thing is on again off again, so we brought the cows home from the south pasture yesterday.
Thinking they would like the shelter of the mountain or the barns from this snow..... Well sir thankyou no. We'll just lay out here in the calving pasture, we're home and happy.
So every time you think you're about to out smart an old cow , think again.....

Winter
This winter is just wierd. Can't quite make it out. Take for instance this morning it was almost as warm as it got all day yesterday. No not a Chinook. It has not warmed much since about 8 this morning. Sort of cloudy, and the humidity is high.
Be glad to see green up ....

State of the Union
Sucks.
Ladies and gentleman we've been force fed and dictator wannabee into the presidency, that is ill qualified to hold the position.
I've never seen anyone hold such a high office that has as much contempt and disdain for this country , and the 3 seperate branches of government.
He lies on a continum. Take the bit about trying to trash the supreme court for overturning a portion of the McCain/Fiengold bill. He said it had been in place for hundred years, false it's not been around that long and if I'm not mistaken he was in the Senate when it first became law? He continually pisses and moans about the deficet he "inherited" Well lets take a look. He was in the Senate for 2 years and voted for those budget busters prior to becoming president, The democrats have had effective control of the legislative body since 06. Yes Bush did a miserable job on the economy , but this clown and his bunch of thugs have spent more money in one year than the country has spent from the beginning.
Then he finally decides to let the republicans participate in legislation but then threatens them if they use the fillibuster to assure their ideas get incorporated.
Just to give him the benefit of a doubt tho..... Maybe its not him, it's probably just the teleprompter making him say all those things.
Looking forward to 012 and wishing him a safe journey back to Kenya or Indonesia......

New pup
WE got a new pup a couple of weeks ago. She was supposed to be miniature aussie and heeler x. I don't think there's anything in her heritage that was minature. She shows a goodly amount of signs of having a generous amount of German Shorthair, and once in awhile when she takes the time to sit (doesn't happen often) she looks scarily like Marmaduke.
She came with the name Simbah, but that has changed to Zip.
The other day she got out while I was doing chores, and one of our old cows took exception to her being there. They had quite a stand off, but it got to be almost hilarious. The cow would chase her out of the corral, and then leave, Zip would think about it for a minute and go back. Finally she'ld run under the gate turn around go on point and bark. I about busted a gut laughing. Told her good cow dogs don't point the cows , we already knew there was one there.
Anyway's if me and ol Babe the wonder dog can survive long enough for her to outgrow the puppy stage all might be well. We're at about 16 weeks and counting....

Ooooh MY
Boy time sure flies. I sure let this thing get behind.
Well for a quick update, since my last time here.
The end of April I went to the BPCR shoot at Alliance.
May we branded and started getting cows to pasture. It rained alot and the grass grew like crazy.
June was a fantasticlly good month. Doc and I went to the BPCR shoot at Baker Mt. the weekend before fathers day. Had a great time. We came home Sunday night, and then I turned around and left Wednesday for the Quigley match at Forsyth Mt. This had promise to be a fantastic time and sure enough it was. My Boys Marcus and Bob flew into Billings Thursday and shot the match with me on Saturday and Sunday. Had to be the greates fathers day ever. I still get warm fuzzies thinking about it. Hoping we can do it again. When I got home I immediately got on the hay equipment and commenced haying which took care of July as well.
August came and Carols mom was in severe health problems. We thought we may of lost her but she rebounded just fine.The end of August Carol and I attended the Sagebrush bpcr shoot at Alliance Ne.
Sept we went to Eklalaka Mt for the Medicine Rocks shoot
October was a busy month with shipping the calves and all the snow we had
November was quite and good weather.
December was busy as usual and cold and snowy.
So here we are in January and I hope to keep this thing updated just a bit better.
