Troy Koester's Rural Roots - Winter Views
This is a photograph of a weathered overhang and shelter for my 4-H steer. All of our corrals are lined with windbreak, after windbreak after windbreak. You can see the irrigation wheel lines in the background. Red barns and old granaries dot the landscape on our farm.
This penned Red Angus bull peers at me from his corral. This bull likes people, you could even pet him if you wanted to.
The bull on the right is one of the biggest bulls I have ever seen in my life. He is friendly too, and if he is lying down, you could sit right on top of him if you wanted to.
This is a newly constructed windbreak and it looks quite weathered already. It blocks the howling north west winds, as I look east to our pasture.
Gypsy and Ginger are on move—they worry about my camera flash.
Our Red Angus Bull interrupts his breakfast to peer at me.
Frost covers our farm in the early evening. This is our land—it is east of the 21 highway and just 10 minutes south of Rockyford. (Maybe 15 minutes - it depends how fast you are going.) My dad originally farmed the land far off in the distance. My uncle still lives there—Uncle Gordy has lived there all of his life.
Long running coulee with a creek running through it—this is our pasture land for our Red Angus and Semitol cattle. This creek freezes over in the winter, and then it floods. We use it as a skating rink.
