Bringing in some of the last cows to sort. If someone told me it would only take 2 days to sex all of the cattle I would have called them crazy, but that's what happened. Either the cattle are getting more used to being worked this way or the hired hand is a hell of a hand. I keep teasing him that he must be a hell of a hand since everything is going so smoothly. Hopefully the trend continues. Taken 9/25/2006.(Sarpy Sam)

The sun breaking over the hills illuminating the cows working their way in for weaning/shipping. Taken 9/19/2006.(Sarpy Sam)

The cattle contentedly grazing on the dry, brown grass. Bitch as I will about it the dry, brown grass has a lot of punch to it and the calves are really growing well on it. Less than a month to shipping. Let them put on the pounds. Taken 8/14/2006.(Sarpy Sam)

This particular pair kept hiding out on me as I was cleaning out the Williams place. The only proof I had she existed was this picture. I finally found here yesterday and got her out. Damn fine calf the old girl is raising. Taken 8/14/2006.(Sarpy Sam)

Rounding up strays from a neighbor's place. No fancy national ID tags involved, just a brand and a lot of common sense. Taken 7/31/2006.(Sarpy Sam)

Cows and calves resting in the shade of some very small trees. Instead of finding nice, big trees for shade they took what was handy. Taken 7/16/2006.(Sarpy Sam)

I had too many cows using one well and it couldn't keep up so I drove some down to another well. Boy was it dusty. Shows how dry it is around here. I hope the lightning stays away. Taken 7/12/2006.(Sarpy Sam)

The calves are growing good and the cows are happy in their new pasture. Also a little photo manipulation via GIMP, the free photo manipulation software that's on par with photoshop. Taken 7/9/2006.(Sarpy Sam)

Moving pairs to a different pasture. They have been looking to move to fresh pasture and were getting a little restless. Taken 6/28/2006.(Sarpy Sam)

Feeding the cows thier hay during a nasty snow storm. Taken 12/29/2005.(Sarpy Sam)
