    And it Begins

    It was an arrow. And he was just an actor reciting words written by someone else.

    And it Begins

    I know a guy who was living in Cody. One day he was headed up toward the park and he saw a cow moose that looked about to have a calf. He thought on his way back he might get a good picture. Sure enough there was the moose with a still wet calf. He was standing on the road taking pictures...

    Cowboy stuff is fun

    These cows are all old broken mouth one and done cows. I bought them at the sale. Absolutely no telling what their past history might be. Here they got run down the chute, a new brand, fresh ear tag, and a couple vaccinations. Turned out with the herd where they got fed hay every morning...

    Gaffers tape on cowboy boots

    I have 5 cowboy hats. 2 felts and 3 straws. Over 90% of the time I wear a ball cap. I have 4 pairs of cowboy boots. I wear the most comfortable pair all the time, like 99% of the time. They are just about worn out. It is going to be a sad day when I finally have to give up on them.

    Gaffers tape on cowboy boots

    Walking like he was seldom off a horse. John Wayne is said to have studied how Yakima Canutt (sp) walked. Yakima was a cowboy turned champion rodeo cowboy turned stunt man and stunt coordinator for Hollywood.

    Gaffers tape on cowboy boots

    Oh no. I was agreeing with you. I used Yellowstone because the OP said he was an actor and it was something current which he probably could relate to.

    Gaffers tape on cowboy boots

    It came out about the time I quit riding bucking horses. I was in my late 20's early 30's. I could ride the snot out of those silly machines. That made me popular with the ladies which worked out for me.

    Gaffers tape on cowboy boots

    Oh no. Urban Cowboy sure had some influence. Mechanical bulls in bars. People walking around with hats on that looked like a chicken flew into the front of their hat.

    Gaffers tape on cowboy boots

    Cowboys are the definition of poor. So he is probably taping them up to get a few more months out of the. And of course shows like Yellowstone have increased the popularity cowboy boots, hats, etc. Which has driven the prices up so actual real cowboys can't afford them.

    Cowboy stuff is fun

    It is not that they need to be crazy to survive. It is that they haven't had any human interaction. These two were ok in the middle of the herd. But off by themselves the flight or fight reaction explodes. And they figured flight in the wrong direction was the thing to do.

    Cowboy stuff is fun

    The gate to my place is on the west end of the field. They spent well over an hour with these two idiot cows running through the fences on the east end and swimming the river twice before the ropes came out. Of the three the one in charge is a mid 50's year old man who owns well over 1,000...

    Roping was certainly not the first option.

    Cowboy stuff is fun

    This is an entirely different area than most on here are use to. The place where the ones who calves on time already went to is several thousand acres. There will be about 100 pairs over there by the time we are done. It is divided into about 4 sections. About once a month a cowboy will ride...

    Cowboy stuff is fun

    These are old one and done range cows. I avoid the real snotty ones when buying but you still end up with one or two. The whole entire herd of cows will go straight to the kill plant in the middle of August. These are the late calvers. Once they get to summer range they will hardly see a...

    Cowboy stuff is fun

    A couple of my cows ended up on the neighbor's place. I won't go into that long story how they ended up there. But these two witches are a bit spooky. They were there for about 10 days until the cowboys had time to go get them. A black cow and a red brokle faced cow. The red cow had a calf...

    Fence

    Three important things to make money with cattle. How much you spend purchasing them. Maximizing the money when you sell them. And how frugal you are in running your place. Any and all of this will vary depending on where you live. Used pipe and iron is real expensive here. Because there...

    Always one

    I was telling a friend about this calf today. He said he had a neighbor who had calves affected by Lupine that came out this way. His neighbor said none of these calves survived. I know that Lupine eaten at a certain stage of pregnancy will cause major birth defects. The majority of these...

    Always one

    Nope, nope, and nope. Two different sales about 130 miles apart. Two weeks between sale purchased at. Brands on cows say they came from 2 ranches over 200 miles from each other. Could they some how be related? Who knows or cares. They are just old cows.

    Always one

    I had a calf born yesterday afternoon. It was only 20 feet or so from the river. This morning I couldn't find it when I fed. I went back on the quad and patrolled the river bank. The river is up with this warm weather melting the snow. My thought was if the calf went into the river it is a...
