Ice Storm, December 2007

Two ice storms and a major flood in one year...that's enough!

This last ice storm crippled over 600,000 homes in Oklahoma leaving us without electricity for 5 days (some people went 10 days).

The cattle did better than the people.  It was soon evident who had fireplace culinary skills, who would venture to town without a shower or makeup, and who could still be pleasant on Day 6, or 7, or even 8 without electricity.

One thing about it, we all had something in common to talk about!

Say What!?

Since the addition of a reader board in 2003 to our sign near the highway, we have given the public a view of the ranch, its sales, a unique incite into our personality and a reflection of the ever changing weather here in Oklahoma.

We haven't caused any wrecks on the highway, but this particular statement did inspire conversation.

September Fog

Some days, my chores can wait.  I just turn around and walk back in the house to get my camera.

Tagging

It's was beautiful fall evening.  Chris and Bill headed out in the John Deere gator to tag the latest calves.  Either a sheep hook or a rope, depending on the "speed" of the calf and alertness of the mother.  Each got a tag to match the mother and a vaccination.
