April 6th - 2014

 sunday here again. beth and her 2 arrived yesterday. so we brought them out to feed . gary was in high gear by the time we got there . he and marie had spent the night .[ swimming around the hot tub ] after a day of cleaning and watering and such. chris and zach were there trying to figure what tags were on what cows. and excited to be in the 60's. grub was on, corn tortillas, green chili, sausage ,bacon and eggs. a little smattering of sandys' red. silly kids ate cheerios . lilly gabby, and jax took the side by side for a cruise . while beth and zach saddled  .chris and i rotated my daughters tire s. cheash!  think she needs an alignment.

   pretty soon beth riding in with calf over her saddle.  she left the calf and head back to help zach.  after some cowboying , a decision to bring in the heard was made and once in the corral calf and mom were reunited. chris worked his magic and told the calf where t suck and how. no amount of deterrent  was going to keep the calf away now. cow boys head back out to check the big herd.  when we caught up  beth and zach  were like cats in the hen  house , grinning ear to ear.  they had tagged 4 . 2 too wet to stand.they were pretty proud of themselves. zach only got almost eaten once .and not by the mamma but some bystander cow that came to the rescue. 

  we got beth home[to ranch house] and baby sally had put herself asleep after a fashion. did not think milk should be in a bottle. we headed back to grants zach and chris headed back to the pasture. in an effort to find one them new dangle communicators that "fell" from zachs pocket.

  all quiet, from plischs. erin and jammer, went to madison for the weekend. jim put in his week and mary into the breech. then the florida crowd in a week . deanna got her back  injected haven't heard any results yet.
