With cold weather on the way, we spent the morning pulling some sore footed and thin cows from the main cow herd so they can get a little more care. We were able to use our hay yard as a makeshift load out. It was also nice to have the boys home to help before school restarts. #swensonmartinhorses #ranchhorse #ranchhorselife #dreamingofgreengrassandsunshine #usewhatyouhave
Happy Easter! We didn’t find the Easter bunny but we sure did get some more calves. We are over 100 head born this week and it isn’t over yet. Tomorrow looks to be a bit sunnier so we are sure looking forward to it. Here is Cooper bringing a fresh one up to the barn on Mater. He sells on June 4th in Douglas Wy.

I would like to tell you it is better but it’s not. I actually think it is worse. Here is a video of our ride down to check the cows. I don’t think we will be able to go this way anymore since we almost didn’t make it back up. #superpuncher #snowmageddon2022 #ourhorseshateus #ranchhorses #swensonmartinhorses

Praying for more rain today to help fill some dams and to get the grass growing. It’s pretty scary out there right now. In the background is a large dam/dugout that is completely dry. The grass is brown and there is very little growing. #prayforrain
With the impending snow coming we decided the day had come to wean the last of our colts. Here are the mares coming in on a beautiful 70 degree day two days ago. Today we have 6 inches of snow and 30 degrees.
We sorted mares today and moved them out to their pastures. This is Drifter’s (Two D Driftwood) mare band. He will go out with them the beginning of June.
Colter pasture roped and loaded his first calf today on Skeeter. It's too bad Trent didn't get a video of him roping the calf since I was off opening a gate. Skeeter is lot 76 at the Price Ranch Horse Sale on August 6th. #swensonmartinhorses Price Family Ranch #ranchkidsrock

Thank you everyone for the wonderful messages, we truly appreciate all of them. Trent moved the cows home from the winter pasture to prepare for calving. It was a windy, cold day and we had to blow out a trail for them to follow. Normally, we would've trailed them home horseback but this year with all the snow we had to use a snowmobile.
A little more snow blowing video. Blowing a trail into the calves that were pictured earlier.
Now that is blowing snow!! We are trying to bring a set of cows into a more protected area.
Wylie was wanting the cows to get moving a little faster on their way home so he could get back to his hay bale. I think you could consider this as being "cowy". #ranchhorse #swensonmartinhorses
