What I used to haul water from 'tank' to cattle troughs.
Its so beautiful on the ranch where I live and work! Love south Texas!
Found this out walking! Tentatively identified as a Plainview projectile. 9000 to 10,000 yrs old.
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!
Most prickly pear has yellow flowers however this 'bush' is full of pinkish blossoms! The bees love the pollen and nectar. Known as nopal in the Spanish prickly pear can be torched to burn off the spines... cattle or goats will feast on the cactus. The next year the cactus has regrown but now is twice as thorny.
Nurse cow Elsie with her calf and 3 orphans. Gotta feel good to get all that milk out!
Eating her placenta.. Caracaras were waiting patiently for what was left over.
Well my day didn't turn out as expected so I went walking and found these in the pasture.
Get better soon! Yes that has to hurt! Grace and peace!
Whelp, my arm/elbow is looking pretty…and swollen. #occupationalhazard #vetslife
No seed eating birds on my bird feeder today! This guy hunts my feeder I am guessing as I occasionally find feathers by the feeder. Love south Texas!
Mostly photos of my life in South Texas. I share what I love. The Outdoors and Ranch Life.
