Ugly times

[Cowboypirate]

I am currently in self quarantine myself. Tested me last evening and now a 2-5 day wait for the results. I live in a remote part of the state but caught what I think is a head cold. Since I work at a military installation I was required to self report. It’s a goofy time to be alive. Good luck to y’all. I told the doctor that with all the accidental vaccines and antibiotics I’ve given myself over the years of having cattle I was most likely immune. He didn’t think I was funny.

Self bovine innoculation - brings back fond memories. We had a perfectly fine squezze chute at the ranch, but dad seemed to take great delight in having us rope and throw the calves. No horses mind ya just a bunch of kids running around in the corrals with a ropes. I always got the short straw and had to run up and grab a handful of hide and throw them on thier side and then work my way to the back to grab a couple legs and lock them down. Needless to say, but I still sqeak a bit when I sing the Anthem owing to some well placed kicks from some very upset bull calves turned steer - attempting to return the favor. And ya, I was innoculated for most bovine diseases over the years cause my older brother could not aim straight, while laughing at me holding on to my neather regions that just took a whoolping from - well read the sentance a few lines up and you will get the drift. Seems my cowboyboots were always getting branded too. Come to think about it now, I might go see a laywer.

Oh and newton treated us great - will get a report up later this week but we are on our 30 anniversary trip and I am getting that look from Cookie that says she knows I on am on BFT this morning and not rubbing her feet.
