This is the time of year when we work cows at the ranch. A lot of friends and family usually come to help out. This makes for a great weekend of visiting, eating, and playing in the arena.
They start by gathering all of the cows into a pen. A lot of ranches do this using four wheelers, but Randy likes to use horses. It makes it more fun for everyone else involved too. After they get all of the cows in the pen, they separate the babies and the mommas. Then all the cowboys take turns roping the calves. Once they get one roped, they drag it back to the group where several guys hold it so they can give it shots.
I don’t usually ride horses, so I just watch. Sometimes I help hold things, but it is just so hard to stay out of the way! I like it when my nieces come, and we get to sit together and watch the action with our snacks. This is a picture of Kayden (check out her new boots) and their Grandma Jan.
It was also Skyler’s 3rd birthday! She is growing up so fast! We turned around and this was how she was sitting. So cute!!
