Its So HOT In South Texas Even A Shepherd Will Get In The Water!

Blue snake 'bout 5 feet long headed into the flower bed! Hope it catches some mice! Not our toads...sadly if they jump they're dinner.

Cicada Hawk guarding an entombed cicada under the back porch steps. Anesthetized the cicada will be consumed From the Inside Out by the growing larvae of the Cicada Hawk. She swoops as we pass but never stings.

End of a long day. Relaxing watching heifers and their first calves. I am blessed. Pulled 3 calves this season. 1 dead curly leg and breach, 1 dead breach, 1 alive and doing well! 3 sets of twins with 2 now on nurse cows while the third is a sneak thief stealing from the mama cows until we can catch it! Life has a rhythm here that city folks kinda miss. 2/19/19

The boss lady leading 2 nurse cows and 6 orphans with feed! Beautiful day!

Well my day didn't turn out as expected so I went walking and found these in the pasture.

Hot on South Texas. Cows are smart!

Hard to play hide and seek when you’re a cow!

One last drink before fertility testing at the vets office! 12 bulls tested 10 passed. The girls were waiting! These guys will lose some weight over the next month or two. You can see we are dry. 3/2020

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!
