Happy b-day Dave!

We went to Joe's BBQ in Gilbert, for "free food on your Birthday", then home for cinammon rolls and presents.

He was one cute baby! and continues to uphold that tradition.

Okay, had to throw in his baby.

Birthday best,big Brother!

This man is one of the last of a dying breed. Okay maybe that is an exaggeration but real cowboys who live off their land are few.

Yes, he wears boots every day, a cowboy hat most days and chaps and spurs when needed.

It's hard work, to put it mildly.

They (Tammy, his wife, may work harder than he does, plus she does the housework, prepares meals and works outside jobs) care for hundreds of head of cattle which includes branding, marking, tagging, vaccinating, calving, doctoring, castrating, weaning, feeding, watering, fencing, and moving/trailing.

To feed them means planting, fertilizing, irrigating, harvesting, baleing, storing, moving, selling, distributing, trucking, buying and selling, loading, repairing equipment and feeding them huge bales of hay you grow, put up and haul, or pellets of some kind to supplement and improvetheir feed, every day, without fail, no matter what. Blizzard? No matter. Broken bones or pneumonia? bah. Truck won't start? go anyway.

Then there are the horses.

Anyway, here's to the American small Rancher.

This boy is the best. Really (please insert appropriate gushing here). Pretend I am Eliza.

Happy Birthday David Harrison Cutler!
