I haven’t been near the computer or the telephone. Sorry about the unanswered messages. I hope to get some of that done this evening. It looks like the next few days will be spent moving more cattle around. We’ve been doing that with the pickups and trailers when we’re able. Which means when it has been dry enough. I did go up and catch my horse, Tuffy (who was not in the pasture depicted) this morning.

If I had a gun I may have taken care of the Baron’s steed.

I took off to Red Lodge for a fasting blood draw and left that horse to his owner. I did hide the guns first. My husband managed to catch him without any more blood shed. After lunch, we sorted cattle through the poop soup in the corrals and loaded them into the trailers. It’s eight miles out, and impossible to ride right now. After a few trips, we dropped one of the trailers and checked the water situations. The windmill was whipping, the tank and pond were full. The pump jack was pumping like mad, and the water tank was overflowing there, too. Then we noticed that a cable was frayed, so we disconnected the jack from the solar panels. The Baron is working on that. Well, we’re on the way back out to get it going again.

Later. . .
