These guys meet me every night for cookies, that buck is 11 years old and his rack has been much bigger over the years. My son raised him as an orphan and we always hope he makes it thru hunting season. He’s never forgotten where he was raised. He’s a Xmas deer!
Congratulations to Bridwell Rodeo, newest foal, we call him LB (Little Bighorn) By Bobby out of Indian Summer. Indian Burn and Indian Country are siblings!
People always ask about the horses and the cold. They get along great they have fresh water and free choice hay. When i built this everyone said i was nuts that they would kill each other. They get along much better than the ones you tie to your trailer. There is a peck order.
Full Baggage is making his 16 trip to the @LasVegas_NFR in a row, this is his doppelganger. Since 2008 he has been a big part of many world champions. He is as big or bigger than he looks and a pup. @
Only living NFR mare of Beutlers, Black Kat, on her way home, then on to Vegas to the NFR @LasVegasNFR Been quite a year. Learned alot about Ionophores in horses, cattle and anything else that ate it. The young mare is Cliffhangers little sister.
Yes it gets cold in Texas. 4 degrees this morning and we have to sew one of our NFR buddies up. He pretends to be an Olympic jumping horse but outside he is an NFR bucking horse!
This is Ace, the other Junior Bonner clone. He has a tiny star and a bit more white. They are identical in almost every way. Wont be long, originally a gelding, will be adding new genes to the bucking pool as a stallion. @ViaGenPets_
We have lots of these in this country. The prettiest are about 2500 years the clovis pieces are 10000 years old. Can you imagine a time when you had to live day to day counted on everyone to keep you alive protect you, weren’t jealous,the meaning of life was to be a cohesive unit
This is what it looks like early in the morning. They eat, then some exercise. They are cared for just like the timed event horses, many are worth more. The @PRCA_ProRodeo is proud of all these horses and goe out of their way to make sure they are comfortable.
As I start my 42nd year, my crew (minus my 2 sons and Pedro) A vet, 2 PhDs, 2 vet students the rest pre vet students with 2 vet schools within 10 miles. Much different than my generation. Wish the powers to be understood what I do, we would have more rural and equine vets.
Miss C died Sunday night she was an incredible part of our family at TCVH was friends with most of the world champions and Im sure she still talking to them now. She was best friends with Stampede Warrior of the Calgary Stampede. Horses have made my life and she was very special.
Not unusual its March. We have two weathermen named John that predicted snow. John @JohnHarrisWx and John our UPS @UPS said he was not wearing shorts because it was going to snow. Top Hat loves the snow and she has a nice winter blanket.
Sharing things we do with buckers. This is Griz who has been to the NFR 7 times. He was retired and foundered pretty bad. Fixed feet now back to finish his retirement in Freedom,Oklahoma at Frontier Rodeo.
Not sure what to say. This is an embryo out of Two Time world champion Miss Congeniality by Shrek(clone of Bobby Joe Skoal) This is the first rider trip. This is an offspring from his first crop. Powder River Rodeo bucked her this weekend. The wait is over. Wow! @lorifranzen925
I love the cold and snow and so do the girls. Thunder and lightning and snow. Probably no palpating today, most of my crew are south Texas transplants from Fort Worth and Austin, most hate cold and snow. Miss C on the end and the Calgary mares think they are home!
Flush the electric debacle and back to the most fun job on the earth. This little BadBoon was 388 gestation in a maiden recipt, longest Ive ever had and came out perfect!
I’ve been fortunate to be the first one to see many clones. Kurt, Ditto Pablo Escobar, Adolfos polo ponies, Olympic dressage and jumpers but none more special than this one, the original was part of our family. Welcome back 4x World Champion Medicine Woman! Thanks @ViaGenPets_
Alot has been going on and I haven’t said much about Bee and then today this comes from Rhett. Everyone got teary eyed. Its been an extremely hard last 7 days here at Timber Creek. Loose so many of our friends and many extremely special, especially bees sister.
Going to try to share all the famous gals. Invite anyone who is sitting behind their computer breathing into paper bag for a bit of CO2 regulation. Kamora Bubbles, Easy To Love, Resisitols Top Hat , Untimely Delivery!
Watched my daughter Carolyn play in a wheelchair basketball tournament today. At the end everyone stood up and got out of their wheelchair, not Carolyn, she got shot 4 years ago six times. She is the badest ass I know. She lived and man is she alive.
I’ve tried to share what I do so the the next generation might have as much fun but this twitter deal has exploded today and what I’ve learned is democrats are mean and horrible when they don’t get their way and republicans mostly vegetables. All is not well, new Bobby…filly!
My seat for the next 10 perfs, would say days but never seen anything like this. My friend said it felt weird before the NFR started boy was she right. @lancelahnert
This is Resistols Top Hat who retired here one of our favorites here at the clinic. She is an elite bucking horse and she had her first filly(all colts) last night.
Ya man! 2 world champions and a mare that bucks everybody off who has been in the eliminator pen the last 6 years. World champ Maple Leaf, World champ Gunfire and Miss Ellie. All by Big Medicine. Big Medicine and Bobby have the same mother Dusty Gal by Custer! @pedro120782
Pretty proud of this one, this is the Stevie Rey Von out of Streakin Easy April(Lolo) of Stetson and Kellie Jorgensen. Lolo made 400000 plus and went to NFR twice, she is Streak Of Fling Mare.
This shit is not for the weak of heart. Kicking Cotton came in with a massive ulcer pre-NFR knocked out 3 times injected sewn up 10 days apart. Always amazed at what the crew does and Hannah graduated from vet school 6 months ago, not sure anything she can’t do.
Sheyene’s first embryo transfer, she is a freshman in veterinary school, we have lots of extra vitrified embryos and extra recipients. It is not difficult but is only talked about in school.She has the best teacher there is Hannah. We have students from @TTUVetMed@tamuvetmed
What a Blast. 4 time world champion Medicine Woman’s clone going back to the ranch. Never had one this big. One can see how sweet, never been in a trailer. Thats 8 time NFR bucker Griz! Feet fixed and a good traveling companion. @ViaGenPets_@HannahLooman
This mare is the last embryo out of Spring Rose(she was 33 and buried here) the mother of all the Spring horses of Flying Five. She is by the Calgary horse Go Wild(clone). Foal is by Bobby(clone) and all her foals buck and all the Bobbys are blue roan(black when born).
The old mares get trimmed twice a year, the buckers move enough and we never need to trim them but when they get old they don’t move enough and Top Hat got little pampering.
This is recipient 1481 and this is her second major fire shes made it thru, two horses and a tree, nothing left and I believe she probably thinks fire is part of her life. She is carrying a valuable barrel horse. Guess she knows thats her job.
I’m not sure how many cases of skinnypop @theskinnypop we go thru a week at the clinic but not sure Gunfire doesn’t love them more. This is a huge mare and she will be going to the NFR @LasVegasNFR needs to keep that svelte figure(so she fits in the chute)!
World champ Killer Bee got her feet trimmed today. As one can see retirement has made her a bit portly. This is a huge mare. Not sure everyone knows she lost her mom so was a bottle baby. Annd she is in foal for her first foal that isn’t an embryo. Our farrier is wicked.
The girls named the new Junior Bonner clones, this one is JR. Ace tomorrow. Junior was in the reride pen round 10 at the 2022 NFR in Dallas. Kacee Fields marked a 91 and won his fifth gold buckle.
I love the NFR and actually spent a fair bit of time outside, actually got to meet people ive never met but now back with my kind. No crud from Vegas and up next is F-9(fiery). Got new mares dropped off that will retire here and before long we switch into quarterhorse mode.
56 degrees, Fearless(Tiger,Stampede,Shadow,Princess, Born NFR and 100 per NFR producer) Gun Fire, and of course Black Kat. No Drugs only a neck rope. Doesn’t get any better. Happy Sunday. All NFR mares!
The only time he ever needed us again was in 2017 when he celebrated a little too much Christmas so we darted him and took the lights off and he hasn’t messed with Xmas lights again. @pneudart
We are doing so many buckers now and do lots of lameness in bucking horses so i went ahead and ordered one.There are also horses that are extremely lame that need to be trimmed that we can’t lift feet. Calgary has one and Tyler says he can do anything with it.
Amazing what is happening here in Canyon.The AG building with state of the art meats lab. The VERO complex for 1st and 2nd year students from @tamuvetmed and the @tvmdl diagnostic lab. Might be a great place to go to school . @wtamu
Baby buckers getting ready to go to the north country last time for halters until they get played with for real! Couldn’t do this without Petey and Ray.
Our senior Vet Student from TTU Vet School @TTUVetMed Bitty transferring embryos. Not sure there is a school anywhere that a senior is taught to transfer embryos……. And they are cloned embryos!!!
Another beautiful afternoon bangs vaccinating heifers. Countdown to the NFR @LasVegas_NFR T minus 5, get to go see all the horses that have been to the clinic.
Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River, never runs much, does when it rains everyday. This is the beginning of it, formed at the confluence of Palo Duro Creek and Tierra Blanca Creek couple miles west.
This is Wimpy and Chica both were born during the civil war like me, they belong to Shelby and Chica belongs to Lari Dee. They discuss everything about the past weekends breakaway results,every Monday.
The fun begins, the buckers are arriving. Wennie, Snatchy, Final Feather and Feather Fluffer. For those equine aficionados noticing the lameness, a healing abscess. Very few lameness problems as they are physically and mentally adults.
Beautiful afternoon in the Panhandle, really is fun to have another veterinarian that can do everything I enjoy and graduated 5 months ago. Lighthouse Ranch.
I get up very early out here to check all the horses, heres Full Baggage enjoying his 16th trip this morning. An incredible bunch of horses out here in Vegas! He donated a piece of skin for the clone in the last video. @ViaGenPets_
Frontier Rodeo @FrontierRodeo brought a mare named Short Stop a couple days ago that looked pretty rough, went to NFR 3 times used to inject her coffin joints no one new she was pregnant, a little plasma this am. The sire is an embryo by Harry(clone) out of Medicine Woman 4Xchamp
This is 2017 and I am pretty sure the wind hasn’t quit blowing, in fact its blown for the 40 years Ive lived here. Medicine woman,maple leaf,times up,short stop,killer bee, wound up,final feather,angel eyes, big show, big fork,arabella, miss congeniality,dirty,faded,rainmaker!
Here to collect. Love these buckers, so smart. THE PROBLEM OF SOLVING A PROBLEM IS NOT A PROBLEM, BUT WHEN A PROBLEM SOLVES A PROBLEM WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM, THEN THE PROBLEM IS NOT AT ALL A PROBLEM.
Im sure im overdoing this but she lived here between rodeo’s and i get the go around bottle @PendletonWhisky if one of our buckers wins the round @LasVegas_NFR I have 11 bottles from Medicine Woman! I wouldn’t know how to do this. Obviously excited.
End to a good day. Won’t see these until they return to the upper left(ha) and many not until the NFR. Mare with the NFR patches Yippee Kibitz has made more than 170,000 from the @fwssr @SanAntonioRodeo @RODEOHOUSTON and @americanrodeo
I had to share this morning, we talk about things that are genetic, bucking is very. Think about this, for 5000 years we’ve tried to breed the buck out. Extremely inbred, never have seen an ocd lesion or kissing spine, we buck adults. Pedigree last place we look. 1 day old!
Big night for Bobby, I really enjoy this, get to see all the stuff we breed and work on. Ryder has Bobby Shows first clone offspring at NFR! @ViaGenPets_ @LasVegasNFR To the greatest crew on the earth TCVH
This is a Cut The Cards out of Muddy Valley. Sire has 2 world champions dam is out of Dusty Dan who is out of Dusty Gal who is Bobby’s mom and Big Medicine’s mom(3 world champions). Cut The Cards and Harry are 3/4 brothers who both came from Harry Vold . Semen frozen in 2011.
Painted Fling going back home to Colorado. We froze a little semen on him. He is by Painted Valley out of the clone of 3 time world champion Spring Fling.Just like Bobby he has Breezy Fling going to the NFR from his first crop. First bottom side clone to the NFR.
Really excited about these two, congratulations to Stace Smith Pro Rodeo. Junior is buried here at the clinic, now back as a stallion. Always thankful for Viagen @ViaGenPets_ they have always let me have a blast, huge part of my journey!
