Today is my Uncle Jr’s 80th birthday…no it’s not an April Fools joke it really is his birthday. For being 80 years old he still walks approximately 10 miles a day and up until a few years ago he was tending to his herd…then the cost of hay had gotten so expensive that it drove him to sell his cattle and finally retire (gives you a whole new perspective on early retirement right?)
To celebrate his birthday we all got together at the ranch and enjoyed each others company and a few good beers with our pizza. As the day progressed my brother and I found ourselves taking a walk near the old stables that our family used when branding the calfs which was a spring time tradition and decided to capture a few memories while we were there…
