M ~ Good eye! That’s Ervin. I’ve got all the bulls on the place tamed. I’ll tell his story soon!
Marg March 27th, 2011 @ 3:26 pm
Ervin??? Sure is getting crowded at your place. You’ll dislocate your hips if you try to straddle that big boy. We will have to rename you Animal Whisperer I think. Glad to get some snippets on the weekend so thanks for that Shreve.
Marg March 27th, 2011 @ 3:35 pm
Forgive me for filling up your comment space but wanted to recommend a couple of books to you although I know you are mostly reading study books right now. When you can, check out Jeanette Wall’s Half Broke Horses and then her Glass Castle. She wrote the second one first but I think it’s best the other way around. You remind me of the woman in the Half Broke Horses. Over and Out!!
He looks like a Ferdinand—that was one of my favorite childhood books…the story of Ferdinand the bull, who loved to sniff the flowers.
Great pics!

What a handsome man! Ervin looks so content and couldn’t be happier!
Peggy Arness March 28th, 2011 @ 11:27 am
Charlie is so neat!! books–Half Broke Horses, definitely first , they are super great reading. Mostly because they are true.
Colleen G March 28th, 2011 @ 11:42 am
This is a lot of bull…!!! He is a GORGEOUS boy – can’t wait to hear more about him.
Sherry March 28th, 2011 @ 12:19 pm
I love this picture. Clearly you are like a flea to him – he’s all “What? Is there something on me? Can’t feel a thing!” I can’t wait to hear his story! awesome!!
Love Ervin….want to know more about that handsome guy!
…and YOU, Shreve, are just outrageous….lying on top of a bull…..you make me smile and happy everyday. I live my dreams through your experiences.
I feel I should thank you. I read Daily Coyote two years ago and have followed your blog ever since. Fell in love with your descriptions of life in WY. I moved to the Big Horn Mtns a few months ago, and I know in my heart I moved home.

What does that feel like, lying on a bull? What sort of connection is going on there? It looks very grounding.
Also, you and that bull look good together – that’s why horse is having issues :)

Not Frisco and not Sir Baby.
No one can deny that how animals act has a lot to do with how they are treated.

Total thread jack, but I think you would not find this pair of animals quite as unlikely as the author of this article:
