Weaning calves

Yesterday, we spent the day up in Dry Head weaning the calves and bringing them home to the Asay farm. This year's team consisted of Christian, Daniel, who drove trucks back and forth between the mountain and the farm, Jacob, Grandpa Asay (drove), a group of people with the Snells (who own the land that the Asay's run their cows on), Kasi and Britt, Grandma Asay and the boys and I. The guys made two trips out to gather cows, and we sat back while the kids played and cooked hamburgers for lunch. The boys, as usual, had a great time riding and playing with the other kids.I love going into Dry Head this time of year because the trees are starting to change and it is just beautiful!  The weather was just perfect with just a few drops of rain as we were packing things up. It won't be long, until they go back in and bring the rest of the cows home until next summer.

The boys had a great time playing up in the trees. They had a little club house up there that they kept going to .

The guys headed out on the last ride to gather another group of cows.

Christian took Travis and Carson out for a ride after they had gathered all the cows. They were so excited to be able to ride with their dad. They both LOVE riding horses.
