My Sister’s Hand Holding A 4 ½" Point. All The Rain Washed The Ranch Road Alittle. I Found This Sticking

A new nurse! The sweet heart is half Holstein and half Jersey and 6 years old. It took her a day or two but she accept her first charge. These Angus have twins with some regularity so a nurse cow is a good thing! Two nurse cows with 3 'kicked off' calves so far. 012919

Hot on South Texas. Cows are smart!

Tiger striped cow! Giving me the eye in South Texas.

Damn straight folks. Forgive now.

My one and only cat post on Tumblr for cat lovers in Russia. South Texas cats! @russiawave @russiansandgod @smzett

Colocynth aka Vine of Sodom or colloquially known as 'Pie Melons'. Vines scrambled up a round bale and there you have it! The seed must have hitched a ride hundred and thirty years ago in someone's watermelon seed. (Kind of like Tumbleweed seed from the Russian Steppe hitched a ride in wheat grain) Originating in North Africa it tolerates great heat and drought, like our part of Texas, and was used as medicine by the ancient Egyptians.. too much will kill you but a little, supposedly, can relieve pain. Farmers hate them, cows don't eat them and pigs despise them.

Working cows this early morning. Coolish 75 degrees will work quickly but without stressing the cattle. A quick worming of about 100 animals. By noon it will 95 plus as south texas warms up quickly!

Thankful for this. I need Jesus.

Discovered this while walking W/O the dogs! Incredibly still it waits for us to leave. June and July are heavy fawning periods in south texas.

A410 chillin' in the brush! He's serviced all the girls and needs to relax. 1 of 6 bulls on the home place breeding 120 cows. 7/2019 in south Texas.
