The Way Things Are

I thought about talking about how upset I was that the consumers of Montana are getting screwed over but decided it just isn't worth it. I've said my piece many times and nobody cares but me. So onto what I can control, until the politicians of both stripes take more of our freedoms away, things around the ranch.

Finished kicking the cows out into the hills. I had been watching one calf that was getting along sucking hind teat but knew he was a bum so now he is home with the rest of the bums now. Five total bums for no apparent reason, how horrible. I don't know what the situation was that their moms left them but they won't get a chance again. Next Wednesday we will sell everything that doesn't have a calf on it or is going to calve late. That will teach them cows to leave their calves or get bred late.

Busy getting other spring work done working at getting ready for brandings. Like I said, things I can control, kind of. See ya later.

The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it. George Bernard Shaw

UPDATE: Turns out we are back down to 4 bum calves. Found a cow that had just lost a calf yesterday so we are in the process of grafting one of the bums on the cow. The cow loves the idea but the calf is not to sure. We'll see how it turns out.
