Well the Friday the kids started their spring break and I was off that day we worked 64 head of cattle that day. There was Buba a neighbor, Nate, Papa, Bob, and I who worked them. Things went so smooth just amazed and all I had to do was keep cattle run up in the chute and help get them up. I love it since Papa hires help now not that I minded giving shots and branding. I do miss not using the horses to get up the cattle though. Use to when we were younger not very long ago Papa, my sister, and I would ride horses our cattle did not know what a 4 wheeler was it was fun I always enjoyed it. I guess we quit when the last time I had not rode in a year just had Dutches in December and I had to ride the buck out of Al before we could do anything and every time you went after a cow he got a hump in his back like he was going to throw me. We still have plenty to work but Bob ended up helping work 434 head later during Spring Break and we hope to finish up this weekend. I should have more coming after Saturday.
If you look real close can you guess who is driving that big red Dodge? He is safer driving that than the 4 wheeler he takes after mom and is a little dangerous with the 4 wheeler when it comes to getting up cattle.

Wow! I can't believe he's drivin' that big truck!!
And those cows-- sheesh-- that's what we just paid an arm and a leg to go see at the safari. We should have just gone to your house! ;-)
Our house is a zoo that is for sure but wait till we get the baby pigs which should be in a few weeks your kids can come feed them marshmellows that is how we get them gentle. The kids have so much fun.
