We got 12” of snow and had to start feeding our cows that were in good feed😞. Then it got down to 3 degrees so the snow stayed for a while. BUT It has warmed up in the last couple days and everything is melting!! I have never been so happy to deal with mud!😂😂. Might get to quit feeding and let the cows go back to grazing. But it is WAY colder in other areas of the nation. Just watched a YouTube video of some ranchers taking care of cattle in -50😳😳

Yes, this was great help! It helps me to know when to ask for the increase in speed. It will be good for the times we trail the cows....gives me something to do! Lol

Thank you so much for your time:)

Thank you for taking the time to answer! That makes total sense and I will use that:). It makes sense to not ask for speed til after the turn. The turn probably falls apart?

Thank you again

Hello, I am mentoring under you Richard, without you knowing it...lol! I am learning so much about riding colts and just improving my horsemanship. My husband and I are ranchers and I ride colts on the side. I wouldn’t call myself a trainer but a student of making good horses. I recently bought two colts that are full brothers. One is a long yearling and the other is a 2 yr old with 30 days, and it looks like 30 good days, lol. They are Gunnatrashya, Reminic, Nic it in the bud. Both are really gentle and need to learn to be a bit more responsive. What are some exercises or things I can do to get that quick response without a lot of spurring or frustration😳. We move our cattle to different pastures throughout the winter so I want to start taking the two year old Anything outside I can do to quicken things up?

Thanks again for posting all these videos! I refer to them often
