Rusty, Ebby and Lexie bringing stocker cattle to me this afternoon. They went over a 1/2 mile to find them and brought them to me. The wind was blowing as usual so I cut the sound. #ranchdogs #bordercollies #dogswithjobs

The foster Mom has claimed the twin bull calf as hers. The surest sign is the way she is talking to it. She has been letting it nurse unrestrained but didn’t start talking to it until last night. They can now be turned out with the rest of the herd.
