accidental injury

While standing in line waiting inoculation for protection against disease this steer calf caught his leg in the facility and fractured his left front canon bone.  He was anesthetized and a fiberglass cast applied.  This uncomplicated fracture should be healed in 4 weeks and the cast can then be removed.  He is currently doing well.

beaver forecast end of drought

The Niobrara River is dry for miles through and near the ranch.  However beaver are working hard preparing logs for building a dam to impound water once flows return.  They have more optimism than I do at this time.  Blake and Arden walked up and down the river bed for several hundred yards, but could not find where the beaver's home could be.  The beaver family and the Wohlers family are hoping
this hard work will pay off soon.
