My Border Collie agrees with Jim: sheep are just too dumb to bother with. Yet when we get the chance to head to the sparsely-populated Uinta Mtns on the WY-UT border for some hiking, he eagerly herds free range (BLM) cattle off the trail. For a town dog, he does a bonnie wee job of it!

Thanks for this heads up, Edwardson. So that’s why Jim’s hay is neatly tucked away in that dry and cavernous barn! Glad you liked the post.
Cheers,
Ruth

Good acticle on hay. So many people in our rural area will buy round rolls which are usually fed to cattle & put them out for their horses. They are rained on, walked on. They become moldy, discolored. New horses owners should be warned of the potential dangers of feeding round hay rolls meant for consumption by cattle.

You are most welcome. It’s always great fun to follow Jim around on these adventures. And I’ll have you know that Jim COULD NOT open the gate to our place! Well, not quickly, that is. Unfortunately, I did not catch that on camera…

Thanks again for your nice comment, Kim.

Cheers,

Thank you so much, Kathy! You made my day. The first thing Jim said when I mentioned your name and your comment, even before I read him the comment (as he has no computer), was “I gotta tell you the rake story!” So we shall tell that here in the future, rest assured. Can hardly wait!

Also, thanks for your request to receive notifications about blog posts; we’ll be adding this capability to the site very soon. Looking forward to meeting you.
Cheerio,
Ruth Nunez

What a wonderful story. Please include one to my e-mail when ever those beautiful stories fill your heart and you decide to share.

By the way, that ol bird is our cousin. We have the Ennor Niesen Ranch on Rough & Ready Hwy. That beautiful (?) freeway goes right through the middle of our really beautiful ranch.

Those white park cattle came to R&R when our daughter, Heather, brought the first white park bull to the ranch over 15 years ago. It is so fun to see all the white park cattle on all these different ranches. Each one I see reminds me of our daughter! What a blessing.

Thank you for sharing your story. Want a real belly laugh…. ask Jim about the “rake” that is in a tree on his ranch and the story that goes with it. Duane and I will be at Jim’s big gathering in April.

Looking forward to meeting you.
Kathy Niesen

Hooray for the returning of the light – though I suspect there will be more snow before the spring!
