HAPPY COWS

To keep our cows happy and healthy we supplement them with salt and mineral.  So my mission today was to deliver blocks of salt and bags of mineral to the cows. 
I loaded some salt and mineral in my truck and headed for my first two herds of cows.  They seemed happy to see me deliver the goods.
I needed a little help finding the gate and water of the next herd so Dave drew me a map.
It was a great drawing..

The mineral tubs we use are made out of a tire and a board.  When I got to the next herd of cows and located the tub, it had a problem.  So I had to see what I could do to repair or replace it.  
I went to the junk yard. NO I mean EQUIPMENT yard. Don't call it a junk yard. "It isn't junk, it might be useful some day."  So I've been told.
My helper Cash liked exploring while I looked for materials to fix or replace the tub. Then he needed a nap.
I reloaded and headed for more cows. I did this several times until the cows and the bulls in the area nearest the ranch were taken care of. 
I met up with Dave and we decided to top off the day with an evening picnic to watch the moon rise over the mountains.

Cheers!!

Again what beautiful pics, and great story, loved how you fixed the tire feeder, never knew I taught you that! Although we always had to be handy! Cash must be doing great, if that was him, he looks great, and glad he has healed! Will be good to see him, and you all! Looks like the picnic was great, and relaxing, you both so deserve it.
