T-Bone


I caught T-Bone eating hay

He had to come over and see what the camera was all about - he is too funny!

He wants more feed - sorry - not time yet!

He loves it when you scratch him where his horns are coming out. T-Bone is still a bull, we are going to get a vet over here to show us how to make him, ah, a bull no more! So more news to come on that process. We are trying to fatten him up so that we can take him to auction. After that we are going to focus on the Brangus breed. We are also taking about going into partnership with another person who wants to be a cattle rancher. So more news on that when it is all comes together.

Life on the LAST3 Ranch is good! Horses are doing well, man cave is coming along, T-Bone makes life fun and I was able to watch a momma deer feeding her twins. Not sure if it was the same twins that were born on the property or not - don't know how long deer allow their young to nurse - but both twins eating at the same time - it was a pretty cool sight to behold!

Boone loves to be by Charley


Whenever Charley is over - Boone is close by - just watching and waiting for Charley to drop some food or some times Charley will actually feed Boone!

I think Charley is wanting Grandma to give him more food! Boone is looking on the ground for his! :)

Tressa's Senior Year Begins


Tressa is ready for school - funny as I am taking this picture I am wondering where the time went - seems like just the other day I took her to her first day of Kindergarten. She was as independent then as she is now.

As you can tell she is leaving very early in the morning.

So, not only is she off for her Senior year, but in her new car. She wanted to learn how to drive stick shift before school started and she accomplished that! So off to school she goes.

I am sure this will be a very exciting year - Go Bulldogs! Class of 2010!!!

Man, it's hot!


Baby and Princess got their hooves done today - I was just out there with the Ferrier and I was sweating - it is so HOT!

Well, they look good - so I guess that is all that matters! I just have to ride - it has been way too long! I also need to work with Baby, but it is so HOT!

Went to the cattle auction today, I think I could sell my cattle there, but not sure I can buy them there - we will have to wait and see. But I do know this, our bull calf, T-Bone, looked so much better than most of the cattle there! Some sold for $1.44 a lb - can you imagine - that could be very good for our new business! yeah! I need all of my cattle to sell at that high of a price! I hope to get another calf soon - I will be sure to keep you posted!!!

Tressa bought her first car!!


Here is Tressa with her car - she is trying to think up a name for it... I said "Old Yeller" but she said that is what they named the school bus - so that was a no go!
Here is Tressa and Stacy - she bought the car from Stacy (Stacy works at the Center with me)
Always having to make a face - silly girl....
Albert and I are so proud of her - you go, girl! It is a stick shift - Albert is teaching her how to drive it right now! I could possibly have more stories to tell after they return - ha ha!

Meeting the GANG!


Not so sure Boone is a big fan of T-Bone - we will see what happens next - Boone sure was barking this morning and T-Bone was looking like he wanted to head butt that dog! ha!

Princess had to come over and check out the newest addition - she was so funny - when she was eating breakfast - the calf didn't bother her - she just wanted her food -but after she was done - she had to check him out...

Here are the rest of the girls - just watching him...

Here is T-Bone - I think this is the best pic so far - what a handsome bull calf!

With the Morning comes much Mooing!


Here is our little guy - camera shy I am thinking

We got him from Ruben and he said that he weighs about 300 lbs

I love this photo!

I woke up to the gentle sound of mooing this morning - guess our little guy needs a friend - He paces a lot and I know that he is lonely..... maybe we will get another one soon so there will be 2 - stayed tuned!
