Herding words – or cattle – in South Eastern Montana
In a recent post I mentioned Thor, who has allowed me to write his story and whose story is now available to read in the Nonfiction section of my web site. Or you can follow this link to it. Thor is now a 2 year old steer but when he was a 4 month old calf, he was caught in a water tank. Thor’s Story is about his rescue, injuries and recovery. I hope you enjoy getting to know Thor through his story. Thor rules!
I’m posting a movie I made from video and photos I took as we fed yesterday. First, the grouse were dancing to greet us! Then the lighting was stunning as the yearlings walked in for their hay with the sun shining through the puffs of their breath. Then I had to include Thor – he’s the calf with the scars and scabs on his legs. His recovery has been a lengthy but rewarding project and in our lives, Thor rules! I’ll post a short story about Thor soon. I included a panoramic view of one of the feed grounds with a gorgeous sky, and finally, a hawk remained on his tree as I drove by, just watching but not flying until I passed. We see most of these things most mornings, but I don’t usually get pictures of them all. I hope you enjoy Mother Nature’s gifts with us.
