Today I:
- waded through a stream in pursuit of a bull
- banded said bull and cut off poopy tail-dreads
- built a paddock
- moved/fixed irrigation
- ran through the [irrigation] sprinklers
- had a corndog for lunch
- banded bull calves
- collected eggs
- transported a goat and kid
- herded some other cattle
And then, at the end of the day, for fun I skinned a snake (for the first time. And did I really say that? So weird.) The skin is now hanging/curing in the shop.

I never in a million years could have imagined a day like this would be an average work day for me.
Maybe I should've been on the Oregon Trail.


At least you don't have a boss to tell you what to do, oops, the cows are hungry so gotta feed them! :). It's a bit of a change, but when you see that the animals are content it's a rewarding feeling.
