A Glance at life on the Broken Arrow

I realize I have been terribly neglectful of this peaceful little blog lately. I know I have said it before..........I just haven't had a shred on a minute to update all the fun stuff we get to do around here. So in a nutshell you get it in pictures. We are so excited about all the new calves this year. It will be our biggest branding ever. We are so darn excited. To see the meger 8 we started with in 2002 to now.......it just takes my breath away we are able to continue to prosper to this.

Of course don't get me wrong....... It hasn't come without the blood, sweat and tears along the way. It isn't an easy life but I have come to love it and couldn't see it any other way now.
And you can't go anywhere without being armed. It's getting to be a little bit of the wild west with the unlawful activity we have been seeing. My girl still has time to pick and smell the fresh new wildflowers.

What can get any better than this sight?! That cow is one we call "Horny" she is dang mean when she has a new calf. She is one of the original "eight". We keep her around because she is so hooky when she has a new calf. It keeps everyone honest.......

Ahhhh and this bunch of punks. They are thoroughly enjoying the green grass and keep venturing farther and farther away. The other morning we had a roping and we awoke to see all of our good saddle horses were gone! So Jeremy gathered on Ojos (who is a good saddle horse too) and I drove the car up the mountain to run this bunch of brats home.

Hope you all enjoyed the visual tour. I will try try try to be more regular!

Another fun new development around here is I have decided to try and have my family not consume anything we have not grown, produced or made this summer.

Wish us luck, it is a tall order but I think I may have already found my milk cow and my non hydrid seeds are in the mail!
