The other day we were heading to go docotor some calves and the kids that live near the pasture were so excited that “the cowboys were there!” Now if you have never been cheered on by little kids your missing out.

While I was packing to head to a horse show to work I was throwing in my favorite blazer and slacks and it got meContinue reading “Handmedowns and useful gifts”

Today was preg checking day for us. It’s the day the vet comes and we run all of the cow’s through to see who is going to have a calf this spring and who isn’t. It’s a stressful day, the anticipation and finger crossing that everything stuck is added into to preperation of making sureContinue reading “Preg Checking Spring Calvers Day”

I have debated writing about this subject all month hence why I have waited until the very end of the month. As many of you may know September is Suicide Prevention month.
