Ranchers?

Ranchers?  I hardly think so.  We been trying to work our little herd through the pens for a fly treatment.  No luck!  They jump over the barriers and run through so fast, they are mere brown blurs.
This weekend we are suppose to separate the babies from the mamas.  It'll be a miracle if it happens.
Some of the "players."

Like all the Mapes and their pets, food is a lure that works.  Why do you think we have Thanksgiving at our house every year?   Fifty pounds of range cubes for our herd nets the same results--100% attendance!

Ferdinand


Out checking on "the herd" this evening...  Yes there is a white face in the group.  His name is Ferdinand.  He's from a "Rent-A-Bull" place.  We're hoping he will be the baby daddy for the next batch of babies.  The internet is moving incredibly slow this evening so I'll give another update later.

Weird Clouds

Not sure what was going on with these clouds.  They formed at ground level then became airborne. 






Was the air cooler above or was it cooler below?  There was no wind so the clouds stayed in place for at least an hour.  The sky above was blue.
