Curry comb. Used for brushing livestock, usually horses or show cattle.

Horses love those things. They're good for cleaning up the winter coat.

You should try it on Milo.

Horses are a waste of space. Hay burners as I call them.

One of my buds at KSU was an architecture major. He taught me something really deep that he had learned in his studies of design: the cows and the hay bales are always placed exactly where they are supposed to be in the scene. They always position themselves in the correct spot.

Just your genric Pixel google phone I bought like 3 years ago.

Right after I took that picture the cows started sprinting towards me thinking I was going to give them some food. I had my mutts with me and didnt want to deal with the cows so I loaded back up and had 50 cows sprinting after me as I drove out of the pasture. 10/10 would recommend.

Mrs8 took that pic in 2005. I had drug here along to fix fence in the flint hills. Got caught in a shower then she snapped this picture. That's the best of our collection.

Cow pictures always whip ass. Really foggy cow pictures dominate the most in my experience.

Pretty sure that's after a spring burn. Things greened up nicely.

Just two mutts exhausted from running buckwild all day chasing birds/rabbits/mice and excited they are allowed to recharge on the furniture out at the cat ranch.

Tater and I swung by the old farm pond on Monday. The water level suffering a bit after last summer. Not Lake Meade levels of loss, but it's as low as it's been in a decade.

Looks like he lost a little weight. Is it due to swimming vs wadding?

That little feedbag with legs is on a diet. He was pushing 60 lbs. That's a big lift into the F250 with an artificial hip and shoulder.
