Yup, it's official, I closed on the property this past weekend and am starting to make some improvements here and there. Lots of ideas and lots of hard work ahead of me...
And... I bought an 18ft plains tipi. It's Crow built and I'm pretty excited to get it up and stay a few night in it, lol. It'll be my guest quarters when ya'll come out for a hunt/visit! ;D ;D ;D

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D CONGRATS!!!! As you know, I'm picking up a couple bottle calves this weekend. Dad always said never to haul half empty. SOOO...How many you want? If I double deck them, I can get you maybe 30. You're probably as set up for critters as I was when I had Moose and the bull here. (As in...I wasn't.) So it should work out just fine for you too.

Summer home I reckon, till I can get a decent cabin built; I'm pretty intimidated by the winters up on the high plains. I'll be getting pics up soon.
It's a half section of the old Kite Ranch, bordered by the Vale ranch and many thousands of acres of BLM land. It's all open grazing, but the antelope and deer seem to outnumber the cattle. I'm fifteen minutes from Palmer Canyon in the Laramie Mountain Range and a huge part of the Medicine Bow National Forest. I hunted bear there back in '98.
Faith, not set up for bottle babies, but I do plan on registering a brand, burning some hides and turning them loose on the place as soon as I get the fence up.
I've got my eye on a six hundred gallon cistern tank I'll have to install and going to be leveling campsites, digging fire pits, hauling many tons of stone for the cabin foundation, and mortaring some together for columns as you drive onto the place. ;D

Wean them calves and send me every bull you can get yer hands on, Faith. I'll steer 'em and brand 'em and turn 'em loose on the native grass!

Nothing like having a dream to get you busy.
