Another great week of July is gone, and somehow we’re already knocking on August’s door. Summer is flying by, and the foals, calves, and puppies are all getting big!
I tried mowing thistles on Saturday with the new mower. I made it about no time at all before mowing a rock and knocking a blade off. I found the blade, loaded everything up, and brought the tractor and mower back for Ben to fix. Not exactly the successful first outing I had pictured!
Toni hauled Blue Devil to John’s and brought Nutter and Butter home. We also had lots of people out looking at foals, yearlings, and two-year-olds over the weekend, with more sales pending!
Frappe headed to her new home, and we let her new family borrow Scooter for the rest of the year. Scooter is open, and their 4-H horse is lame, so it worked out well for everyone.
Jexy got to go to another playday and qualified for State in several events. Go, Jex
I also got pictures of Kade and Jaxsen with their CBJLS steers. Fair will be here before we know it!
The Canyon chore pickup finally died—and it has plenty wrong with it—so if anyone wants an old Canyon, let me know. In true ranch fashion, I replaced it with a 26-year-old S-10 from Musser Bros. Newer clearly wasn’t the goal.
The puppies are growing fast, too. Let me know if you’re looking for an Idaho Shag-cross puppy!
Toni and Jaxsen hauled Charlie, Abs, and Gina in to see Sheena and find out whether they are pregnant.
Dad, Kaine, and Kade are all still busy with wheat harvest, although they aren’t all working at the same place this year. Anna is also learning a lot and gaining some great experience through her summer internship.
Just another busy July week filled with horses, cattle, harvest, puppies, equipment trouble, and plenty of miles on the road.
