Well, it has been awhile since I have taken the time to write anything! Much has happened since spring. We took an awesome job in the mountains of Colorado and just about went crazy while trying to get the house remodel finished so it could go on the market and get everything packed. Plus figure out what to do with our assortment of animals!! We had chickens to downsize, figure out where to winter our milk cow, and downsize our horse herds to usable horses only. We got moved three trips and a few flats later! Two days after moving Brian started working and I started two days after he did! Needless to say we haven't had much time to unpack. Although I did unpack the important things like my kitchen and the horse tack-the high priority items! The best part about the ranch was the lack of cell service and internet-talk about simplifying! Well we finally have Internet so back to posting on the blog!!
Our days here are long and hard but I wouldn't trade them for anything. The 10-14 hour days in the saddle chasing cows through the mountains are definitely my highlights from the summer. We finished haying about a week ago and despite our preference of being horseback over tractor work we understand the importance of haying. The cattle need fed in the winter so we have to do our part to make sure they have feed for the winter. We have already started gathering cattle to begin preg-testing and shipping. The fun has begun! Despite this crazy time in the cattle business I have still managed to can tomatoes and peaches! I will try my darndest to keep you all posted on our adventures chasing cows in the mountains as well as share some funny stories about my attempts at canning!
Until next time-too da loo!
