It's December and still dry as a bone.  We had only one small snow storm in November, but it didn't amount to much.

We have had the cows in the fields as long as possible, but now it's time to take them out to their desert range.

The range is dry, but to my surprise, there is still feed on most of it.  We have some amazing plants that grow on the desert, which provide great nutrition for our cows. Plants like white sage, (also known as winter fat),  indian rice grass, curly grass (galleta), and sand drop seed, to name a few.
We will monitor the cows closely and move them about often so that we don't over graze.

The next generation is in training. He will be a good hand soon.

2020  has been quite a year.  Pray for rain and pray for for peace.

Howdy,
I live in western Arizona in a small rural area...surrounded by alfalfa fields. My wife and I have a couple of horses, some chickens, dogs, cats...and a lot of critters that come into our yard because my wife feeds them.
I used to be a Rodeo photographer. I love your photographs. They take me back in time...I can actually smell them. I grew up in rural Indiana so working outdoors with animals is something that I can appreciate.
Thanks for reminding me that this world (your world) still exists.
Best wishes and sincerely,

G. Arlen Good
