Cow Camp
Away in the mountains, where grizzly bears live,
Grandpa Bill has a cabin so neat.
He stays overnight when he's herding his cows,
and cooks up his beans and his meat.
When I grow bigger and able to help,
I'll go out there as his man.
I'll help build the fences and chase the odd bull;
I'll be ready next year, if I can!

I so love your photos and the poem. It looks wet and green there. Blessed cows, blessed people, blessed children.
P.S.
Thanks for letting me read the cow camp story from 2010. Deep family history. You're carrying on Grandma's tradition of writing about it.
That water bowl and towel look familiar. "Ranchers sink" as I call it.
Sure looks like a pretty place and I would say your girls love it there!
Just absolutely GORGEOUS big sky country... wow. And those babes? Beautiful. Thanks for sharing... and THAT is the way cows should be raised.
