Crimson Sunrise

This past week the smoke from the ongoing Northern California fires returned with temperatures flirting with record highs as we finished weaning. The diffused early morning light lent a softness and increased depth of field to Robbin’s photos as we headed to Greasy Creek to take the cows back to their home pasture.

We enlisted the help of Jody Fuller and her grandson Sam to gather and keep the cows together as they followed the pickup up the hill. A reward for Sam, both had risen early several times in the past 10 days to help us process our weaned calves.

Thanks Sam!
