Wednesday night we spent at Sheridan's grandma's house in Beechy and then early Thursday we headed off to Craven for the Country Jamboree (or festival as we would say in Australia). Craven is the biggest country music festival in Canada and is like a B&S on steroids. Pretty much everyone has their own camper or bus and there were about 25,000 people there. We had to wait in line about 1.5 hours before we made it into the campgrounds, which wasn't long at all ...

I decided to get Candice to do the Blog for the week that she was at the Ranch. Just to get a different perspective, considering she was seeing it with fresh eyes….this is what she came up with!! Ok, well here goes nothing! Not sure that I am going to remember half of what we did on the ranch (Catherine cheats because she keeps a diary), but I'll give it a crack.

So there I was Sunday afternoon doing some odd jobs around the yard and feeling a little sorry for myself when Perry called and asked me to come to the bull paddock with the tractor becaus...

So after a relatively hectic week gone by of branding and frantically trying to get things done…this week has been quite laid back. I have had plenty of time to do my chores around the house including feeding calves/sick cows/horses/whatever else might happen to be in the barn or yards. We have been trucking out cattle again so there are once again fewer cow's to worry about. All the cattle get taken to pasture (adgistment) and are looked after there by 'cowb...
