Douglas Thomason – December 2010
It’s been quite awhile since we canceled a branding because of a rain, but we’ll gladly take the moisture. The road into Greasy is probably too wet for multiple goosenecks and pickups, and the corrals too slick and muddy to work the calves. We’ll try again tomorrow.
Meanwhile, we’ll get some hay up to the 100 pairs in the gathering fields this afternoon, whatever the weather allows. A little concentrated feeding won’t hurt our thin cows, supporting calves since September. Judging by temperatures here on the creek these past two or three weeks, I imagine temperatures at 2,500′ have dipped into the low-20s, cows busy burning calories just to stay warm.

Great photo, and I’m glad to hear you’re getting some rain. Blessings from the PNW for a great 2013.
