There around 25 bulls--Angus and Hereford.
There are quite a few horses used in all the cattle work--here are Jack and Paint.
Here is a good-looking cow and her calf
A bottle baby--they have a few every year. They are pretty much hand raised until they can go out with the big ones.
Here is Bandit just of of the 3 working cattle dogs





The scablands are call that some say for two reasons--one is that they are still healing and two because the rock outcroppings some times look reddish and like scabs. So here are what the rock formations look like. also there are some caves up high and Geologist from the University have studied them and their contents and 'they' say the caves have been used for at least 3000 years. Pretty neat.
The little building is one of the original schoolhouses on the property.

The idea that people lived in those caves is really interesting. I would love to explore them. To think that our ancestors lived like that is hard to imagine but I would find it interesting to look around.
The dog looks like he has had some hard times but enjoys his work.

The ranch looks absolutely fascinating. I grew up on a small farm and we occasionally had bottle babies, so that picture brought back memories.
Wow more great pictures! I love the one of the bottle baby and the that dog is adorable!
Beautiful Mary Beth... That area does look like "Little House on the prairie" lands... I grew up watching westerns in the movies, so I love seeing areas like this. Thanks!!!
Have a great Sunday.
Hugs,
Betsy
The black bulls are fantastic, although I wouldn't like to be in from of them without a fence in between... :-)
I doubt you can imagine how much I am enjoying all these pictures! And the one of the schoolhouse...don't you just love it?
I'm back home and catching up, lovin' your road trip. I have been to these places, of course, but I always marvel at the diverse landscape that is our state.
Love 'em all. The bulls are quite handsome; the horses are gorgeous; the cows are cows; the calf is cute; the dog is a bundle of joy!
And then all that amazing landscape.
This is really fun, MB. Thanks for sharing so much of your trip!
The scenery looks like a movie set!! Beautiful~
Ah yes! More fine photos of «Louis's» relatives! He appreciates the bovine publicity!
All are fantastic. My favorite is the dog too. So cute.
Love the dog in the flowers!
This countryside is beautiful in its own way. I feel so free when I imagine myself in these wide open spaces,
