Spring Melt

Spring is finally here and the melt has begun...these photos were taken on April 9th, just prior to a blizzard that night that dumped another 1 1/2 to 2 feet of wet heavy snow...Typical weather for foals and calving!!


Dugout filled and overflowing!


Our own little 'babbling brook'

Right through chicken/turkey pens....


Nearly flooded the turkey coop...


Much deeper than it looks.....
actually almost to top of our boots,


and the current is so strong,
it nearly knocks you off your feet!


All corrals flooded...


Sheds and pens all under water...
so we are moving stock out to higher ground


Slough around yard site is up to the barn!
(And still rising)


Kira's Willow Tree in water.


Everywhere we look....nothing but water!
....and the melt has just begun!


On our way back from checking the herd,
Jasmine found a good use for all the snow...
Better watch out DAD!(taking picture)

Blue Merle Male - smooth coat (short hair)


Bi Female - standard (long hair)
****SOLD****


Another gorgeous end to a beautiful day!


The pups are going fast!! and soon may all be gone to their new homes.  Training is progressing very well, they are all such quick  learners, willing and attentive.  They are learning "come, down, in/out, kennel, no, go pee, watch" and "stay".  While not perfect yet, they are nearly house trained as well (we do still have a few accidents..usually because we are not paying enough attention).  All are comfortable with the leash, and we are gradually introducing them to travel, by taking them with us for short vehicle rides.  It is hard for us to say goodbye, but we find comfort in knowing they have wonderful new families to love and cherish!

EASTER will soon be here, and with it, the price of the pups will be increasing!  Don't wait until its too late!
