Got one little bunch up close to the house consisting of fillies that need to grow, and older mares that just need a little extra. They'll spend the winter here eating good hay.

Looked like this last week or two, no snow but not far away. I kind of like these conditions, easy to get things done but a lot of motivation right up the hill... Last couple days, we got it, we'll see if it comes off or if it's here to stay.

When yer out in public trying to do good things for folks, you sometimes get recognized, and some mean a little, some mean a lot, and others mean everything! My good friend Leon Hoover called last week and urged me to come to the Omak Stampede Annual Banquet and in classic cowboy style said NOTHING else.... It's an evening I've always enjoyed and I told him barring the usual ranch disasters I'd be there.... It's a good organization, a small group of folks, all volunteers, put on one of the biggest rodeos in Washington and year after year, they pull it off in style. I always tried to be a little helpful, but all these folks are way ahead of me. Long story short I was inducted into the Omak Stampede Hall of Fame....... Stunned and humbled! Joining legends I never met but heard the stories like Leo Moomaw, Tim Bernard, Joe Kelsey and Bunny Detro..... And others I was lucky to meet like Deb Copenhaver, Ed Thiele, Hoagy Shattuck, Irve Sasse, Jack Miller, Bert Beeman, Mary Henry, George Dunckel, Rowdy Barry and my fellow Grandpa Don Hutsell.... Still sinking in, this one means the most as it's from the folks who know me best. Thank you!

Donny Hutsell was a legend in my mind, but likely for some different reasons than most.... I think many remember him as a longtime cattle buyer and a legend of the rodeo world and he damn sure earned all that.... But I seen a little different side than most. Back in the early nineties I was broke and took a kinda mixed bunch of cattle to the sale in Okanogan. They weren't a bad bunch, but not uniform and easy to pick apart. I got there real early but as I was a nobody they got moved to the very end of the sale when all the buyers pretty well had their trucks full and the price usually free falled. I'd been around Donny a bit but he damn sure didn't owe me anything but as the hammer started to fall on a nothing bid he left his usual and hallowed seat and walked up front and started some flamboyant bidding.... and when a man of his stature did that the Sale Barn sorta lit up.... He run'em high and I'll never ever forget. He didn't have to do that, he owed me nothing but he gave me another year of survival at a time when I had nothing..... And I will never, ever forget. A legend that had a heart for the little guy that had nothing to pay him back.... If that ain't the measure of a Man...

Not sure there's been a better Blue Valentine program over the last 25 years or so..... We've done a lot of business and I've bought a lot of horses sight unseen and we're still friends! Jerry Jeppson in Crowheart Wyoming.

PLR Salty Hawk. https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/plr+salty+hawk

Fine afternoon with a tight circle….

New salt lick

When you first turn out the stud, a lot of things can go wrong, or right. Mares are nervous, protective of their foals, and others are ready to get bred.... Black Hawks done this enough times, he doesn't force anything and lets things come to him.

Trying something new, here’s a reel of the stallions who had the greatest impact here on the PLR. What do you think????
