Hello From Beiseker!
Hello all!
I'm from Beiseker, well technically smack dab between Beiseker and Irricana. I have a 8 year old Appendix gelding named Kid and a 19 year old QH mare named Dixie. Throw that in with about 70 head of various cattle ( Red AngusX cows, a Charolais bull, some feeder steers, some yearling calves, a couple longhorn cows and some longhornX heifers ) a dog and a bunch of barn cats and you've got us!
I used to barrel race when I was living in BC, and hope to start up again later this spring once I can ride enough to condition again. We also use the horses for working cattle at home, and helping neighbors. My gelding is getting used to cattle, so it's always interesting!
Anyways, just a quick hello!

Hi!!!!
Kid is doing pretty good. We practiced throwing ropes at him on Saturday...not too keen on it, but not bad, then I got on and threw a rope off of him and he didn't move a muscle. Not sure if it's cause he's just such a good boy, or that he was just sick of ropes being hucked at his head that he just gave up!
He did have a brain dead moment yesterday and figured he was a stallion for the mares down the road. Went for a nice walk down the road, he saw them, and then proceeded to prance in spot.......what's the dressage term ???piaffe???? trotting in one place.....stallion esque. Head tucked, tail up, blowing......moron......
Other than that, he is good. Not scared of cows anymore!!!
How about you and your herd?

LMAO @ getting ropes hucked at him! Whitey is doing great, but like Kid the spring brings out the "stud" in him.
Its too funny because he is turning 16, I mean how long can you mourn them? HAHAHA!
We just recently moved to a farm in Leduc County...it needs a lot of TLC but that's okay, its so much better then the tuna can we were living in.

A new farm! How wonderful! I hear you on the TLC bit. Ours is in the same sad state of affairs. We are rebuilding all new corrals this year. Oh goodie! LOL!
How many do you have now? Please don't tell me that Kid will still think he's a stud at 16!!!!! That's another 7 years yet!!!!!! LOL!
