Chili Sorting Heifers

This is a little short video of Chili that Lill took, while we were sorting some heifers thru a gate. This was the first time that Chili had done any real work for about 4 months....winter was just to brutal this year to do much of anything, so only the necessary things got done. I was really pleased with her, considering she was in near standing heat!

We took a few video clips of Lill's dog Tray as well......you can find them on YouTube on my channel at 1234jholmes

enjoy!


Lots Goin' On







Wow...its been a while since I posted! I think I went into a hole somewhere, the late winter/early spring weather really got to me! The sun finally came out, actually the better part of April has been pretty decent, not very warm, but at least its warming up now and the snow has all but gone! I even see some bits of green starting to happen :o) The calves started arriving about a month ago and we're 2/3 done now. I love seeing spring calves :o)

Something else exciting happened......PJ our filly finally went to be started! She is at our neighbors ranch, and Cody has, in a very short period of time (less than 10 days) given her a very promising start as a good ranch horse! He's been moving pairs with her every day, and although I'm sure it doesn't feel like it to Cody, she LOOKS like a seasoned ranch horse already! I"m really looking forward to some good things from her.

On Good Friday I went north to my friend Lill Roth-Lee's farm, for a couple of hours of working dogs with Lill. It was sooo good to go and have some fun and laughs with Lill! We were dog breaking the heifers that we'll use for our clinic and trial in June. I'll add a short video of Chili in my next blog... helping me sort heifers
