I have been what seems to be an out-of-control busy cowgirl. I am just now finally getting time to sit and breath. And I can’t tell you how much I need some time to catch up. In the past two weeks we’ve: Torn out and rebuilt the corrals at the barn. Something like 60+ posts [...]
Here’s another cute baby that I just had to share! It’s this mare’s first foal and I think she’s just adorable. She’s sired by our stallion, WDX Nukem, out of our mare, DX Mystic Chic. You can click on the picture to see a larger photograph. Here’s hoping everyone has a great Thursday! I know [...]
When you can get up every morning and do what your heart desires, every day is a holiday. When you periodically find cows in your yard, every day is a holiday. When you see smiling kids doing what they enjoy, every day is a holiday. Ty, Julissa (our niece), and Kara (our summer intern) Kelsey [...]
Chances are very good I’m moving pairs or am horseback while y’all read this. It’s time for our annual branding here in on the ranch (it’s Saturday), so while we’re busy getting ready, there’s going to be a LOT of babies showcased here this week! Here’s a pretty dun filly by our stud, WDX Nukem, [...]

On Wednesday, the girls and I (Kelsey, and our intern, Kara) checked on the mare herd. We’ve all but one baby on the ground now, and they’re all so cute! There’s so many of them though (12 so far with one mare left to colt), and so many amazing pictures that I think I’ll have [...]
I really wanted to get caught up on my life with some semblance of organization, but I’m not sure that’s going to happen, so I’m just going to fly by the seat of my pants. I’ve pretty much done that for the past week anyway, so what’s a couple more days, right? We headed out [...]
On Friday we branded our first set of calves. Those that were responsible for the pink ear tags that littered er, um, brightened my kitchen table. I could make this post really long- but I’m going to opt instead for a slide-show so the photos will load faster. I’ll explain to you what went on. [...]
