It’s Finally Friday!
It’s shaping up to be a full one around here. Cousins Linda and Patricia are up from California for a few days, and we’re putting them to work — celebrating three birthdays at once, since Kade, Dad, and Ben all share this stretch of the calendar. Three cakes, three rounds of “happy birthday,” and probably three arguments about whose gets cut first.
On top of that, we’ve got kids coming out to pick up steers, a few horses getting picked up, it’s going to be a full house and an even fuller schedule.
Whatever your weekend looks like, hope it’s a good one. Have a great weekend, everybody — be safe out there.
And Happy Nationals Daughters Day
Thursday Thoughts with Kellie
What a week it was around here — and by “around here” I mean the Othello Fair, a football field, the desert, and somehow also Washington DC.
Kade wrapped up his steer show career in style — he and his steer, White Mike, were Grand Champion Market and Grand Champion Fitting and Showing, and Kade topped it off winning FFA II in Round Robin. Anna and Tommy Jo drove down to cheer Kade on for Market Wednesday — nice to have a fan section that isn’t just parents.
Jaxsen and Blackie did great as well. They placed 4th in market and picked up a blue in showmanship. Two boys, two steers, zero chill this week.
And a big thank you to Simplot and K&N Electric for buying the boys’ steers — support like that doesn’t go unnoticed.
Emma is still using Reina as her backup Wrangler Girl and parade horse. Reina is doing a great job being a parade mount.
I missed most of the fair myself because I was in DC for the Family Farm Alliance Fly-In — first time there, and I can confirm the Nationals play baseball exactly like you’d expect a team in a city full of politicians to play baseball. Met a lot of great people and had a great time. Thanks Roger and Norm for inviting me to the game.
Jaxsen also had a football game Friday night at Ki-Be — I heard Connell came out with the win and Jaxsen and the rest of the Connell Team played a great game.
Sunday we hauled some mares out to the desert and got the first foals haltered. Ben spent the week on circles and corn harvest, trying to squeeze the last month out of watering before it squeezes back. We also got the last loads of grass straw in and Ben and Kicker unloaded that. And the first of Anna’s show steers shipped out Sunday.
Busy week, good week. See you next Thursday, if I survive to it.
And there is still one puppy left if anyone is looking for an Idaho Shag x Border Collie x Mini Poodle.

RANCH HORSE MONDAY: KT Cow Cuttin Chick
KT Cow Cuttin Chick
Filly | Grey | DOB: 4/11/24
Sire: KT HotTimein Cowtown, “Tank”
Dam: RH Apache Butterfly
WOW, WOW, WOW! We absolutely LOVE this cross! Butterfly and Tank outdid themselves with this filly, and she has the looks, pedigree, athleticism, and talent to make her one to watch.
KT Cow Cuttin Chick is a dark, flashy, shiny palomino filly with the kind of presence that makes you stop and take a second look. And then you see her pedigree…
Her sire, KT HotTimein Cowtown (“Tank”), is by KR Gun Powder, who stands at Heritage Ranch Stallion Station, and out of KT Cow Cuttin Hottie.
KR Gun Powder is by Colonels Smoking Gun and out of A Bueno Poco Dunit. He was the 2016 APHA Senior Reining World Champion and, in only nine shows, earned his world championship title while also accumulating nearly $13,000 in NRHA earnings.
Tank’s dam, KT Cow Cuttin Hottie, is by Cow Cuttin Colonel, a major contender in the cow horse industry. Cow Cuttin Colonel earned NRCHA Superior Cow Horse, AQHA Open and Amateur Performance ROM, and multiple championships and top placings in NRCHA, AQHA, WRHA, IRCHA, and other major events.
Now take that performance pedigree and cross it on RH Apache Butterfly!
Butterfly is by Apache Blue Boy, an incredible performance horse with 1,119.5 AQHA performance points and Superiors in Heading, Heeling, and Tie-Down Roping. His accomplishments include a 2007 AQHA World Reserve Championship in Senior Heading, a 2008 World Championship in Amateur Heading, and World Championship and Reserve World Championship titles in team roping.
Apache Blue Boy is by Blue Boy Doc, an NCHA money earner and producer of NCHA and NRHA winners.
That is one serious combination of cow sense, reining, cutting, roping, and proven performance genetics.
We think KT Cow Cuttin Chick has a future full of purples ahead of her. She has the pedigree to perform, the athletic foundation to back it up, and the look to get noticed doing it.
This is one cross we would LOVE to see repeated!

Thursday Thoughts with Kellie
Another great fair week in the books! We are so thankful for everyone who supports these kids and their hard work. A big THANK YOU to 17 Farming and Ag West for purchasing Kade and Jaxsen’s steers! We truly appreciate your support of our kids and agriculture.
This week we are headed to our last county fair of the season — the Othello Fair! We’re bringing Kade and Jaxsen’s favorite steers, and I think the kids are pretty excited to have one more fair week with them.
After Othello, we’ll be heading to Nile in Montana, followed by the Western Showcase in Moses Lake. The show season isn’t quite over yet!
And, of course, the kids are already getting excited about their 2027 steers! It’s hard to believe we’re already talking about next year.
Back at the ranch, we’re still busy weaning foals, getting everyone settled, and preparing for fall. There’s never really an “off season” around here—just different kinds of busy!
We are so grateful for another great fair season and for all the people who continue to encourage, support, and invest in these kids.
See you in Othello!

KT Golden Sage Toffee
Filly | Dunalino | DOB: 3/30/26
Sire: KT Gunners Sage Bug
Dam: KT Easter Bunny, “Peanut”
Price: $5,000
If you’re looking for a filly with color, bone, pedigree, eye appeal, and a great mind, take a look at KT Golden Sage Toffee! This sharp-made dunalino filly is bred with the versatility to go in just about any direction, combining proven ranch, cowhorse, and performance bloodlines with the kind of look that gets noticed.
Her sire, KT Gunners Sage Bug, is a standout son of KT Gunpowder N Lead (“Gunner”), by Cue Bars Laddie, an AQHA point earner and proven producer. Gunner’s dam, Pistol, is an NFQHA mare featured in the NFQHA rule book and magazine and is known for her versatility as a ranch horse, rope horse, and family-safe ride.
SageBug is out of Continental Lady Bug, a big-boned Continental Cad daughter going back to Mr. Blackburn. Continental Lady Bug is an 81% NFQHA mare known for producing color, bone, and great-minded offspring. SageBug himself is known for his intelligence and trainability—qualities we love seeing passed on to his foals.
On the bottom side, KT Easter Bunny (“Peanut”) is a dunalino mare we knew we had to keep, and she has proven to be every bit as special as we hoped. Peanut is a sweet, people-loving mare with just enough sass to keep things interesting. She is by KT Heza Pana Dude (“Dude”), a uniquely marked stallion with strong foundation breeding including Pana Dude, Major Bonanza, Skipper W, and Skipster.
Peanut’s dam, Reed Dunny Doll (“Dunny”), is a daughter of point earner Reeds Rangler and goes back to Somethinglovely, Johnny Pine, Snipper Reed, and Pine Doc Smith—bringing generations of proven performance, cow sense, and versatility to this pedigree.
Toffee is put together right, with the bone, shape, balance, and eye appeal we want in a future riding horse—and she should have the mind to match.
