SkyWatch Friday & Farm Girl Friday

but not on a man.~

Great Basin High Desert

We were moving pairs up Moon Hill a week ago, and I had turned around to see where we had been, and I thought  this view was gorgeous. It's BLM land...do you think they'd mind if I put a house here?!? I imagine the sunsets are spectacular.

With all the rain we've had, the grasses are growing pretty nicely...we could use more sun though!

Moving Pairs

Earlier that day, the rain and hail came down in buckets, the wind blew and now the sun came out like nothing ever happened...of course! The dark clouds ahead of us were from the squall that had just past over us a few minutes before. We were thankful for the sunshine~

Well, it seems Annabelle and EllieMae were welcoming Goof's company after he backed himself out of our trailer yesterday afternoon. Yep, he backed himself out of the trailer...what a good boy! Goof's back for some "workin' time" with our "cowgirls!"

Goof the bull

But, before he made his way to the "cowgirls," he had to tear up a sagebrush with his big head! I'm sure glad we don't own a bull...they love to tear things up...like fences and such. I don't know whether he's makin' himself purdy 'n smellin' better or just showin' off!

I guess we have plenty of sagebrush...go ahead Goof...kill it!

I took the opportunity to get them all in the same photo for a family portrait. L-R Goof, Annabelle, EllieMae, Black Calf, and Number Three.

The Family Portrait

Since Number Three will be bred next year, this will be Goof's last visit (we'll have to lease a different bull). We hope to get another heifer next year to add to the herd. I'd like a heifer out of EllieMae this time. She puts out awfully nice calves.

Enjoy your stay with us Goof! Get 'er done!
