Sorting off for Wales permit. We had Earl, Shane, Dally, and I to sort off 90 pairs by ourselves. We only ended up getting 64 pairs that day. It was WILD!

Twinkie is amazing!
Indianola permit
The last couple of months have been crazy busy at our house. Actually NOT at our house because we haven't been home much. We have paired off, sorted out, trailed, loaded, trailered, branded, doctored and turned out cows EVERYWHERE! It has been exhausting. You can imagine what my house looks like! The kids have been troopers though! Here are a few photos of a few of our days. Earl finally yelled at me one day, "You look like a tourist with that camera around your neck". I guess that I wasn't as much help as he needed so I had to put away the camera and just sneak pictures when I could.
Check out the monster in the middle!
Trimming hooves.
Sorting pairs in the corral. Kalon and Dally helped at the gate.
Earl, Kalon, Dally, and Hayes. Hayes' first time riding Twinkie. They did awsome!
Trying to keep up with dad and the cows.

The kids bringing the herd by themselves. I had to wait in a different field with Chansy and turn the cows.
After a full day in 90 degree heat, the kids just sulled up and wouldn't help. Earl and I had to finish everything up on our own.
It didn't help that Chansy had not had a nap either.
Kalon sacked out on the flatbed!I am so pround of my kids. They can all cut out a cow by themselves, even Dally. We work hard but I am so glad that they are learning to work even if it isn't always as fun as they think that it should be. They are cowboys!

You have the hardest working kids in town! And it won't do them a bit of harm. They amaze me continually. They are awesome! (Their mom is pretty cool too!)
