Good Advice from an Old Rancher

Good Advice from an old Rancher:

Do not corner anything more ornery than you

Stuff most folks worry ‘bout never happens

Don’t judge folks by their relatives

Always drink upstream from the herd

Sometimes you get, sometimes you get got

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

Live simply, love generously, Care deeply

Don’t pick a fight with an old man, if he’s too old to fight, he’ll just kill ya

Speak kindly, leave the rest to God

Some great color contrasts in the hills

One of the best shots I've ever taken

Sometimes they just line up right

 

 

One a trip around the ranch on Sunday, we came across some very unique formations. This part of Montana is very diverse in it's terrain. Makes for some great shots.

Yogi Update

Checkin' out the house

Just waiting for an invite





For those who have been wondering, Yogi is doing fine. He has been coming into the house on occasion. Doesn't stay long and it usually takes several "Yogi snacks", but he sleeps in his bed on the porch at night.

He is getting comfortable around here and even to the point of other dogs who don't belong on "his turf"

Have been able to give him a couple of shots from the vet to help with the mange and i appears to be clearing up nicely.

Spring has Sprung

Pasture is greening up nicely

 

Colors of Spring can be dramatic

 

       Has been a few days, but it looks like Spring has finally arrived in SE Montana!

Not so long ago as we crested the rolling hills south of Billings I wondered where in the world Lame Deer was in all that vast expanse.

 

       Now I look at those hills and realize, that's the way home.

Mooooo

It's calving season on the ranch, Already the old rancher has had one bad delivery, Mom cow not doing well and calf is being bottle fed.
Pictures promised in the couple of weeks

Weather or Not...

1st day of Spring

Here it Comes...

 

So, yesterday was the first day of Spring. What does it do today??? SNOW!!!

And I used to think the weather in Washington was unpredictable...

 

It was in the mid-60's last week, 30's and snow this week.

Tales of wild horses and Yogi

 

 

 

So now that it seems that we will be in Lame Deer for the near future, expect a more diverse page.

My wife and I are now the Pastors of the Pentecostal Church of God on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. We are looking forward to working with these wonderful people.

 

Also, continuing the learning curve in regards to the local history and culture.
