I’s been a great week between Christmas and New Years with Robbin’s brother Joe here to help out cutting wood, splitting oak, hanging gates, cleaning-up the Horehound, Turkey Mullein and tumbleweeds along the driveway, not to mention vehicle maintenance while getting 0.34″ slow rain that has revitalized our green. We’ve taken time-out around the BBQ fire pit with Bloody Mary’s and a Mexican Coffee to celebrate our accomplishments.
Though I would have liked the rain to come a month earlier, the weather’s been perfect, rain spaced well with warm temperatures as the canyon has turned from blond dry feed to green. The cows and calves have moved to the softened ground uphill to get a bite of both as we watch the virgin Red Angus bulls, close-by, fumbled their way to breeding postures. As Robbin quips, “It’s a wonder we get any calves at all.”
This is what we work for, an uncertain future, and wish you all a joyful 2024 !!

Thanks so much for keeping us posted for another year on Dry Creek, John. Always a highlight on any day to get the news from the Dofflemyers, and the excellent photos. Wishing you and the family a very happy and healthy (and even profitable!) 2024.

John,
I just watched “Losing Ground” with my wife and instantly recognized the voice even before I saw the face. Thrilled that the Cowboy Poet abides.
Your longtime friend and admirer,
