Some of the cows in Sulphur that we weaned calves from last week. Sulphur Peak (3,400′) & Sulphur Ridge in the background.

Bob and Zach taking some of our first calf heifers, exposed to the Wagyu bulls and due in August, to water. Beautiful cool/cloudy day after .61″ of last night’s rain – all went well.

Robbin bringing some first calf heifers up the creek.

Bob, Zach & Robbin, with another bunch, at water.

Pacing ourselves well, a few of the calves above that we have been weaning the past two weeks. The weather’s been exceptionally cool with a forecast warming into the low 80s until this weekend. We have yet to see a day over ninety with the summer solstice less than three weeks away. .04″ rain this a.m. Extraordinary!!
