So, Friday we moved them and their mama's closer to the corrals. It was a balmy 75*! Why is it when its only 75* in the fall it feels so HOT! But, when its 95* in mid summer its pleasant? </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">We moved them early because we all were having company over the weekend. Deer season started.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">And, too make sure we got all the pairs and everyone is in good health.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">All is well in the hot, dry channeled scablands here.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">We've been busy pulling bulls, moving heifers and trying to beat the triple digit temps!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Its been so hot (in the 90's) at night that I spend a lot of time outside in the evenings!</span><br />

No agenda, just hopped in the car and drove!! We went to Palouse Falls and on down to Walla Walla. Back roads all the way. No map, no GPS. It was a beautiful day for a road trip! </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Palouse Falls is a gorgeous fall. Cow Creek, which runs through the ranch, runs into the Palouse River, over the falls and onto the Snake River. Looking at the landscape that surrounds the falls, you wouldn't think there's any water for MILES. You have to drive down a dirt road to the falls. And yes, it is a state run. The falls are about 35 miles south of us.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Here's a little tidbit from Wikipedia.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: purple;">The falls are 198 ft in height. </span>The canyon at the falls is 377 feet deep, exposing a large cross-section of the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_River_Basalt_Group" title="Columbia River Basalt Group"><span style="color: purple;">Columbia River Basalt Group</span></a><span style="color: purple;">. These falls and the canyon downstream are an important feature of the </span><a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channeled_scablands" title="Channeled scablands"><span style="color: purple;">channeled scablands</span></a><span style="color: purple;"> created by the great </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoula_Floods" title="Missoula Floods"><span style="color: purple;">Missoula Floods</span></a><span style="color: purple;"> that swept periodically across eastern Washington and across the </span><a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_River_Plateau" title="Columbia River Plateau"><span style="color: purple;">Columbia River Plateau</span></a><span style="color: purple;"> during the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene" title="Pleistocene"><span style="color: purple;">Pleistocene epoch</span></a><br />
<span style="color: purple;">.<br />
The ancestral Palouse river flowed through the currently dry Washtucna Coulee to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_River" title="Columbia River"><span style="color: purple;">Columbia River</span></a><span style="color: purple;">. The Palouse Falls and surrounding canyons were created when the Missoula Floods overtopped the south valley wall of the ancestral Palouse River, diverting it to the current course to the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_River" title="Snake River"><span style="color: purple;">Snake River</span></a><span style="color: purple;"> by erosion of a new channel.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">The area is characterized by interconnected and hanging flood-created coulees, cataracts, plunge pools, </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolk" title="Kolk"><span style="color: purple;">kolk</span></a><span style="color: purple;"> created potholes, rock benches, buttes and pinnacles typical of scablands. Palouse Falls State Park is located at the falls, protecting this part of the uniquely scenic area.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">We've been busy riding, sorting and branding calves.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Its been beautiful weather and the calves are fat and full of green grass. :)</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Riding yesterday, I ran into, ( not literally) the first rattlesnake of the season! It said Hello, but I didn't reciprocate the greeting! LOL! UGH! Glad the dogs didn't hear it or see it! No picture of that thing! I did get a few great pictures of coyotes. They have babies in the den. The babies are about 3-4 weeks old, so the coyotes are on high alert. Especially with 2 dogs with me!</span><br />

About 30 years ago, archeologists came and dug some of them up. They found skeletons there, and artifacts. I wasn't around then, but would have loved to been there! One of the skulls had paint marks on it. How cool! There are still stacked rocks on all the burial sites.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Here are the views from on the hill. I can see why they were buried there. You can see forever and its simply beautiful!</span><br />

Nothing out of the ordinary. A few backwards calves, a few upside down and a C-section last night in a heifer. There's 6 heifers left to go. Then I'm gonna throw darts at a map and figure out where my road trip will take me. Cameron and I like to hit the road before we get the bulls in and start branding. What? Cant believe we are already "thinking" about getting the bulls ready and branding! You can never be to prepared ya know. </span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">Had to go get a cow in that was having some issues calving. Love how Leo can walk through 500 mama cows and calves and not disturb any of them. </span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">The cow on the right walking is the one with issues. Can you can see little feet sticking outta her?</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">Calving is going great so far. We've had very agreeable weather. Well over half way in the heifers. There's baby cows EVERYWHERE in the both groups of cows. One of the bottle babies has a "new" mama, and they are TOTALLY in love! :) </span><br />

Which means, very little sleep, lots of string cheese and coffee!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">There are 27 calves in the heifers, as of now. The cows are just getting started. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">The weather has been somewhat cooperative. Its been very mild and wet. I'd rather slime around in the mud, then slip around on the ice! I'm sure the cows would too. During the late night checks its been foggy. The heifers have been very good mamas and easy to deal with, until today! What a flippin' disaster! Last night we got home at 2am. Today headed out at 8am to feed cows, didn't get home until 5pm. ugh!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">We lost a calf in the heifers. The heifer was a total loon! Had to get a horse to bring her in. She jumped the cattle guard! She tried to eat us for lunch! Geez. She ended up loosing her calf. Then we had two heifers calving, they tried claiming one calf! Had to bring them in. Did I mention it was POURING down rain!? and windy. But a balmy 60*! </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">I did get the whole barn cleaned! :)</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">And my bottle baby is not doing well. I think the milk replacer is bad. So, we had someone head to town to get a different brand. I am going to contact the company and complain to them about the sour milk. I've had issues with this brand before. sigh.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">When we got home, I was cooking dinner and the sun was setting. Cant beat this at the end of a long, tiring day.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Hoping tonite and tomorrow will be better.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Bottle baby and Spook.</span><br />

He placed 3 cameras at the north end of the ranch where there is a lot of trees along the creek. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">He came a few weeks ago to check the cameras. There was a lot of deer, coyotes, turkeys, phesents, quail, huns and a raccoon with a bob tail. But I got REALLY excited when I saw BOBCATS! </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">I got so excited, I went and bought me a game camera! I set it up along the creek by the house. I wanna check it every 5 minuets! HA! But, I'll wait patiently. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Here's a couple videos of the bobcat.</span><br />

Its been muddy due to the inch of rain we had. But the frost is outta the ground so all that rain went in! The temps have been in the mid to upper 40's. with lows in the mid 30's! The only draw back is we still have hay to get home! But its been too muddy! We got a load of small bales for the barn today and tomorrow we will pluck away at the big stack. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Today was foggy and they are saying that the temps could reach the 50's by the weekend! Say whhhaaatttt??</span><br />

I hollered at Cameron. We have an issues! OMG Its NERDLY!!! My 11 year old bottle baby!!!!! Adrenalin and panic set in. I drove that feed truck like I stole it! LOL! Taking into account that Cameron was on the back hanging on for dear life, barking driving orders at me and flinging hay like it was on fire! </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">He dropped me off with Nerdly so I could sit with her, while he</span><span style="color: purple;"> buzzed back to the barn, got the trailer and loaded her up.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Got to the barn, got her in the pulling pen, got an arm in her. PHEWWW! A live baby. But, its upside down. Grab the feet and give him a turn. With the help of Nerdly, we got him turned over. Gave him a tug and swoosh! A teeny tiny little bull calf!! YEA!!!!! </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Mom and baby doing good. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">If you are going to be the woman on the ranch, here are the top 10
"facts" you need to know!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> Original author is Julie Carter,
Cowgirl Sass & Savvy.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">1. Always load your horse last in the trailer so it is the
first one <br />unloaded. By the time he's got his horse unloaded, you
will have <br />your cinch pulled and be mounted up ready to go -
lessening the <br />chance of him riding off without you with your
horse trying to <br />follow while you are still trying to get your
foot in the stirrup.
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">2. Never - and I repeat never - ever believe the phrase "We'll
be <br />right back," when he has asked you to help him do
something out on the ranch. The echoing words, "this will only
take a little while" have filtered through generations of ranch
wives and still today should invoke sincere distrust in the woman who
hears them.
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">3. Always know there is NO romantic intention when he pleadingly
asks you to take a ride in the pickup with him around the ranch while
he checks waters and looks at cattle. What that sweet request really
means is he wants someone to open and close the gates.
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">4. He will always expect you to quickly be able to find one stray
in a four-section brush-covered pasture, but he will never be able to
find the mayonnaise jar in four-square feet of refrigerator.
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">5. Count every head of everything you see - cattle especially, but
<br />sometimes horses, deer, quail or whatever moves. Count it in the
gate, out the gate or on the horizon. The first time you don't count
is when he will have expected that you did. That blank
eyelash-batting look you give him when he asks "How many?"
will not be acceptable.
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">6. Know that you will never be able to ride a horse or drive a
pickup to suit him. Given the choice of jobs, choose throwing the
feed off the back of the pickup. If he is on the back and you are
driving, the opportunity for constant criticism of speed, ability and
your eyesight will be utilized to the full extent. "How in the
*@*# could you NOT see that hole?"
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">7. Never let yourself be on foot in the alley when he is sorting
cattle horseback. When he has shoved 20 head of running, bucking,
kicking yearlings at you and then hollers "Hold 'em, hold 'em"
at the top of his lungs, don't think that you really can do it
without loss of life or limb. Contrary to what he will lead you to
believe, walking back to the house is always an option that has been
used throughout time.
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">8. Don't expect him to correctly close the snap-on tops on the
plastic refrigerator containers, but know he will expect you to
always close every gate. His reasoning, the cows will get out; the
food will not.
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">9. Always praise him when he helps in the kitchen - the very same
way he does when you help with the ranch work - or not.
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">10. Know that when you step out of the house you move from the
"wife" department to "hired hand" status.
Although the word "hired" indicates there will be a
paycheck that you will never see, rest assured you will have job
security. The price is just right. And most of the time you will be
"the best help he has" even if it is because you are the
ONLY help he has.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">This is awesome and so true! HAHA!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">I love my being my cowboys "hired hand". Or is he MY "hired hand"? hmmmm! :)</span><br />

We sort them by age and body condition. We do tag our granny cows with a green ear tag for easy identification. A granny cow being an older cow with either no teeth or very few. As the old guy says, she mighta voted for Regan! </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">We put all the grannies and the three year olds together and anyone else that might need more groceries. This group is know as the cane & crutches. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">The weather was cold, damp and snowy. Perfect, except the mud with ice underneath. Slow going. Cameron and I sorted on horses. We put borrium on the horses shoes. Kinda like cleats. Less likely to slip and slide. I sorted them outta the gate and Cameron followed them to their appropriate holding pens. It went really smooth. I LOVE my pony! He is awesome. He doesn't look at the cows, so they will flow single file right by him. I just have to nudge him and he will dive in to cut one back. Awesome!</span><br />

I headed into town excited to see who my secret santa was. First thing I saw was a package wrapped in Camo paper! Awesome! My secret Santa was Jenny from Central Illinois. She sent me the sweetest letter describing herself and her family. What a busy gal! Check out her blog <a href="http://themagicfarmhouse.com/" target="_blank">http://themagicfarmhouse.com/.</a> She is also the executive director of AgChat Foundation.

The creek into a small lake then out the other side. There is also a warm spring that runs into the lake. Or as we call it, the reserve. When everything else freezes up, here they come. The reserve is a nice sanctuary for a lot of wild life. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">These pictures don't do justice for how many ducks there were. And the noise when they all took off! </span><br />

The weather is not typical December weather for the channeled scablands. Its been in the low 40's! Frosty mornings here and there. With it being so damp, it makes it seem colder! </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Feeding cows in the morning, hauling hay the rest of the day. I like feeding the cows. Cameron and I take turns feeding or driving. I prefer to walk along side the feed truck pulling off the hay. The cows give me my space and then I get to pet them! HA! When half the hay is off, I hop on the back and toss the rest off. If you wondered, there is a science to feeding. Two cow lengths between each flake. That way they don't step all over the hay and poop and pee on the flakes. Making sure everyone gets their fair share, that creates less pushing and shoving. And that makes this cowgirl happy when her cows are happy. :)</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />

It was in the upper 60's, sunny and warm! Now I know why people fly south for the winter! Went to Cowboy Christmas, WOW! Talk about a lot of stuff! Very cool stuff. Went to the NFR. Had great seats and enjoyed the show. Also went and saw Rodney Carrington! Oh my! I laughed so hard my sides hurt...But that could have been from the massage I had the night before. :) Did a bunch of shopping too! And the people watching was awesome! HA! I got to be part of a street magicians act! LOL! That was fun! I took pictures but not enough. LOL! Most are from the airport, on the plane and from the hotel window! Here's a few. I'll leave it at that. Like they say, What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! :) </span><br />
