Old Pictures

At home on the range. Lately bulls have been on the brain. We got the bull buyer's guide in the mail on Wednesday. I worked the purebred barn's bulls on Friday for another round of blood tests, weights, and measurements. And for the last few days Colin's been preparing bulls for the upcoming sale at work. So with all this bull talk going on, it got me thinking about our bull buying experience last year. With all the chaos that went along with finding our bull, I seemed to have forgotten how beautiful the weekend was when we drove up to get him. I recently found these pictures of the morning before we left for Colorado, and they are more than worthy of sharing.


It was one of those weekends that was a little on the chilly side but you could just tell that summer was right around the corner. The girls were slicking up and they were more than happy to be reunited with their cube bearing humans. 


The calves still had their reddish color and the grass was lush and plentiful. They were finally getting used to our picture taking and walking among them. 


Everything was still and quiet. The cows were curious and hung around a bit longer than normal. 


How could I have forgotten how nice it was?!?

Good luck to all those bull buyers out there in the coming months. We'll see you at the sales. Take time and enjoy the days among the chaos at home on your range.
