A Quick Trip

We took a quick trip to Emmett for the weekend to look at some cattle to purchase. We left Friday evening and stopped in Pocatello for the night. One of our favorite places to stay is the Hampton Inn; luckily we got there in time to enjoy the pool! The next morning we ventured out early after a great breakfast. We arrived in Emmett around 3ish. While Dirk went with the owner to look at the cattle we took a tour…the first right brought us to hundreds of sheep! We have never been around too many sheep so it was amusing to observe their mannerisms.









The girls were more entertained with me taking their picture and them posing than they were with the sheep…well honey at least that is one less animal they will want at the ranch!








We left the sheep and came upon their yearling cattle they were feeding in the feedlot. The cows were very interested the girls…and finally after enough sweet talking they had them eating grass out of their hands…it was cute and kept them entertained while we waited.




It was definitely one quick trip, but so worth the time spent with the ones we love!
