Hereford Hunt
The day arrived to bring our two Hereford friends home. We had babied them all summer, and boy did they finish nice. We also wanted to wait until their hair got good and long so we could save their coats. With having a Friday free and pushing 60 degree temps, we decided to take them both at once.
I bet the girls weighed in at about 1250lbs.
Starting in at about 950lbs when we got them the spring, a 300lb gain isn't too bad. They originated in the Dayton WY area.
One should not tackle a job of this scale alone. Joe Orban was my hand of choice.
Having ranched and hunted before, I knew he could help me skin the hides to a professional degree.
I've never saved the hides before, and it really wasn't too much more effort to not poke holes in them.
Some people wonder if grass fattening works. I'd say the proof is in the product.
Well done, ol' son.
That's a lot of meat. Thanks girls. America is appreciative.
May your memory be eternal.
These have been some of the funnest cows to run. I love Herefords, they are beautiful. Next step now is to tan their hides. Never done that before. Guess we'll have to figure it out. On to the next one...

Show Time
Awhile back, the Marians of the Immaculate Conception in Stockbridge Massachusetts got ahold of me and asked about sending a film crew our way. They have been producing a 1/2 hour segment on EWTN called Living Divine Mercy, where they highlight inspirational stories. I told them my truck door is always open to anyone who wants to ride along.
Mike Jensen and his assistant Michael arrived on Thursday and rode around all weekend. It was fun. If we were going to film in Wyoming in November, I prayed for two things: snow and sunshine. Thank you Lord.
After a brief visit to the office life at St. Matthews, I showed them how a Catholic Cowboy priest cuts meat.
Once we were done filming around Gillette we blew over to Worland. Going through Tensleep Canyon they got White Horse fixed up with some Go-Pro action.
Once back home they interviewed Mom and Dad. These boys take their job seriously.
Then it was my turn. I thought the shop, with a load of hay, Grandpa's old saddle with my rifle strapped on, as well my welder near by, was a fitting setting for an interview with Fr. Bryce.
We pretty well covered the gamut.
Of course we had to highlight Chief.
And Devil's Tower.
I enjoyed these boys coming out. They were professional and I always appreciate people striving to provide the best service they can in their field of expertise. Keep up the Good work brothers. ADMG
