Sunday - the day of rest - HA!
I finally got my feeder truck.
I almost kissed the ground. I told the guy who brought it, “I could have walked to Nebraska and pushed the truck home in better time than it was delivered”. But it’s here. It starts, it runs, the brakes work, the scale works and I’ve been using it. It has its flaws, don’t we all? I need to take care of some of that before they become major problems. But it isn’t getting a total makeover - any more than I am.
The cattle are enjoying the variety in their menu.
This is the first year that they weren’t put out on beet tops.
Sugar has decided that she needs to come with me.
Thank goodness she’s small.

LOL!! Sugar doesn’t look very small to me!
Hey, how are you getting your photos so large? I just made the switch to my own domain and Wordpress and the photos are the one thing that are giving me fits. I just get thumbnails! As one who seems to have made the transition gracefully maybe you could send me a tip or two.

Never mind, I see now that you are using Flickr to make your photos work.

Saw an article on the beet crop, how did the valley do this year?

Sugar is so cute. You are lucky to have such a good helper. My brother’s border collie thinks she needs to ride on his lap in the Camry. It’s hysterical to see, she’s not nearly as small as Sugar is and the car isn’t very large. I’ll try to get a picture of it to post next weekend when I’m in Absarokee.

I think it is wonderful for both of you that Sugar has become a “ranch hand”. It is great she gets to spend the time with you and she can be good company! I am still not convinced with that keen Border Collie’s intelligience she won’t be driving one of those vechiles yet!

Heard about your sight from Sarpy Sam and decided to check it out. Interesting commentary and nice photo’s keep up the good work.
I have already added to my favorites list.
Some time I will have to share a story of another person that came to Montana for a visit and had to make the move.

Your blog always looks so stylish!

I think my husband is jealous of your farm equipment.

Hey - It’s a CORN BINDER….OK an International. Just think Karen you’ll be sitting right on top of the steering wheels
For sure the IH makes you 1st at any accident 
Take care and do stop by when you can. I’m headed for surgery this a.m. so better run

Wow, that would be nice to have

Cool truck! Hope you can get all the bugs taken care of.

Congrats on the new truck. Anything that makes the work easier is a big deal I know. Glad you have it.
Sugar looks like she wants to drive. Typical border collie, always wants to be in control of everything. lol
