Speaker 1 (00:06):
Come on, girl, not go that way. How about now?
Will you come in? You still won't stop and come
to me? Okay, okay, I'll leave you alone for a bit. Hey, Bailey,
are you close to being finished?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I think I'm done. I'm getting nowhere with her. I'm
getting nowhere either, you're getting nowhere. What do you mean?
Is Lady ra Ra giving you a hard time gathering eggs?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Again? No?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
And it's in Laya that's being rumpy, not Lady ra Ra. Actually,
it's that sound I keep hearing. I can't figure out
where it's coming from. That again, Maybe it's just in
your head, I don't think so. So what are you
trying to do?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Well?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
You know how the rangers said this horse is super
hard to catch.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I wanted to work on that right away. So I
thought i'd try a technique to get her to come
near me by chasing her around the round pen.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I add pressure on the outside to get her to
move until she realizes it's easier to come in to me.
It still sounds like reverse psychology. It's kind of like
a making a path of least resistance, you know. But
she's so headstrong it's not working, and I don't want
to keep working her so hard since she's pregnant. Oh yeah,
(01:32):
she's got to be tired growing a baby and all
you'd think. I guess I'll have to try again later.
So then you know what we can do now?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Do you mean your fun farm activities bucket list? I
figured you were gonna say that, So what do you
want to do? Okay, Well, I've noticed that the new
barn could use some decorating. Decorating. We're not putting up chandeliers.
If that's what you're thinking. Do people do that? That's amazing?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Some Yeah, wow, I was just thinking some nameplates would
be nice. But no, we're not putting up chandeliers, and
I'm not sure nameplates are really necessary either. We're on
a tight budget and still have a lot to fix up.
I know that's why it was thinking we could make them.
There are wooden placards at the hardware store, and my
(02:26):
mom will let us paint them in our studio. It's
fun to paint and it will add some color to
the barn. Hardware store. We do need a couple gate
latches for the new pastures. Please come on, this is
an easy one. All right, But I love how our
first fun farm activity isn't actually happening on the farm.
(02:49):
I said, this was an easy one. We can ask
my mom to take us. But before we go, can
you help me dump out these hay nuts hanging on
the round pen. This mayor won't eat from them. I
think she's naturally skeptical. I'd be suspicious too if my
food were suddenly suspended in front of me. Oh look,
my French fries are suddenly hanging in a net above
(03:11):
my plate.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
This is normal, that's right, Alejandro. It's all about balance
feed stores and the amount of livestock. There's an input
and an output to both.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I guess I didn't realize how similar accounting and wrenching are.
So how's the balance with the new horses here?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Well, it's complicated. For example, this ere field was supposed
to be harvested at the end of the summer to
help stock hay for the winter.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
And now it's going to be a pasture for the
new geldings, so we.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Won't get this hay. But we made out real good
last month with the alfalfa harvest. Alfalfa's tricky, and we
usually don't do.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
So well be enough to balance out.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
I'm not too sure. Depends on how quickly Blake keeps
adding new rescues.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Are we putting a fence in or having a ted
talk old your horses?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Blake, Sorry, mister Cooper.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Looks like you could use a brake Matto. You take
over the tractor. I'll set the post a while. We're
going too slow, and we've got to finish this fence today.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
I don't know whether to thank you or to be insulted.
I guess my muscles aren't what they used to be.
You know, in my day, we didn't use machinery. We
dug holes and set posts by hand.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Wow, you did that with all defenses out here.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Not these.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
His day was long time ago.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Hey, now, well, I'm not complaining about using the tractor.
This sure is easier. I am complaining than I have
to change my schedule to put up one thousand feet
of fence.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
We'd have to do it eventually, and none of us
knew we'd have a pregnant mayor and needing the round pen,
Mato or.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Two extra geldings so soon.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Okay, that's on me and what and we have some
mustangs coming in about a week. So we'll need to
fix up the old barn for quarantine stalls too.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
So I guess Rocky's gonna train himself for the cattle drive.
Cattle drive, we take about twenty five percent of our
herd to market every year. This year I'm taking Rocky
to help move them.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Sounds fun, Uh, mister Cooper. I think I could stay
late and finish the fence with you. That way, Gipup
can train Rocky. I just have to text my dad.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
You sure, Alejandro, didn't you have something to get to
this afternoon sun?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I'm sure, Gipop, it'll be fine.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Really, I want to help, all right, Then, Matto, you're
off the hook. Alejandro, text your dad, and then let's
buck up and get this done.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Thanks for taking us, missus Cooper.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You're welcome, Zoe. I needed to get out of the
house anyway. Plus, I haven't seen your mom's art studio
or is it a pilates studio.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It's both. Actually, she was even talking about trying out
pilates with goats, kind of like goat yoga, to bring
in a bit more Montana to the studio. What so, wait,
so you're saying there'll be like artists just gathered around
the room painting pictures of people in pilates poses with
(06:32):
goats walking on them. No, it's not. At the same time,
is that on the bucket list? We should invite Alejandro Bailey.
The classes are separate, but we should see if Alejandro
would come to a pilates class. That would be hilarious.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Oh, Bailey, can you check my phone?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Sure, Oh, it's just Dad.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Well what did he say?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Nothing, it's for me. I guess he tried to call Bailey.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
You really should get used to keeping your phone turned up,
or at least checking it from time to time.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, Bailey, you didn't answer any of my texts last night.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I know.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Sorry, it's just so distracting. And Dad texts a lot.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Well, there's a lot to get done for the audit.
I'm tired just thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Well, that's just it. I'm trying to work and he
just keeps adding things to my list.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
All the more reason you, too, should communicate more. You
need to let him know what you can and cannot handle.
But don't forget to add showering to that list. I
think I can smell you.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Hey, that's not me. I showered before we left.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
H Maybe it's something in the car.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Then I don't smell anything. Mom me either.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Hm. Up, you two go on into the store without me.
I'll be in in a minute. Okay, Mom, Yes, I'm fine.
Go on in. The hardware store closes early on Mondays.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Hurry up, Bailey, Oh.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
And call your dad back.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Okay, okay, I will. This is gonna be so fun.
Follow me, Bailey. I know where the placards are. We
can choose plain old rectangles or get the fancy kind.
I'm pretty sure Geepop and Dad would rather keep it
pretty simple and somewhat uniformed. Ah, you mean boring. We
(08:31):
can still paint them differently and get creative with that.
Okay deal. My mom said we can go straight to
the studio after this. She's changing the space for art now,
and then she can drive us home late tonight.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Uh yeah, hey, Zoe, I'm just gonna call my dad
back real quick. I trust you to pick out the placards.
Meet me at the checkout. Sure thing, Yeah, thanks, Mato.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Get Rocky out of the haystack. I thought he was
training that dog. Oh finally, Bailey, Honey, what are you doing.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I'm at the hardware store with Zonian.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Mom didn't, Mom, tell I know where you are.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
I mean, what are you doing. We've got a horse
sanctuary to get up and running. I thought you'd be
here helping me do it.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Dad, I am helping.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I did all my chores plus Alejandro's, and I spent
over an hour working with the new.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Mayor training the horses.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Can wait.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
We've got to have that infrastructure done first, fencing stalls, gates,
not to mention getting everything organized and filed on the computer.
You may not realize how serious this audit business is.
But trust me, this ain't my first rodeo.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
But this isn't a rodeo, Dad, It's different.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
I know I'm just saying, but just like in the rodeo,
it's ninety nine percent preparation and about one percent performance.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
That's because the performance on well last eight seconds. Hey.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Now, I'm just trying to keep this thing going for us,
for you, dear, and it takes dedication. I really need
you to come home and help get the receipt scanned
into the computer at.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Least, But I promise Zoe, we've got to.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Stay on schedule. Bailey, Please, I need you home, okay, Dad? Oh,
and can you pick up the gate latches while you're there.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I have already got them.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
That's my girl, See you soon, my dad.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
What do you think about these? Bailey? Oh? Those are perfect?
What is it? I need to take a rain check
on the painting tonight. My dad needs me home. Really,
that's okay, another time I can ask my mom to
pick me up here, I guess. I'm sorry, Zoe, no problem,
(10:52):
I'll see you tomorrow. I have other bucket list ideas
we can do on the farm if you have time. Sure,
and we can start your writing lessons too. Oh I
don't know, Bailey, It's entirely possible. My dad will call
and I'll off the fly to California tomorrow. Point taken.
I really am sorry. I'm only kidding. No worries here.
(11:16):
I was hoping these placards wouldn't be too much to
come out of the rescue grant account. Of course not.
I've got the card right here. All my hopes and
dreams riding on a little rectangular piece of plastic and
whether or not I get to keep it. I was
super cheesy, so serious.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Hey, girls, finish up and come out. I went ahead
and picked up some dinner. Y'all can eat yours before
I head home.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Thanks Mom, and change of plans, I'm going home with you.
Oh really, it's all good. We can still eat while
we wait for my mom to pick me up. What
did he get?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I've got pork chop, sandwiches, pasties, and huckleberry pie.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
You go ahead, Zoe, I'll be out in a sec. Okay,
so missus Cooper. What's a pasty?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I know, but I don't. Maybe I can postpone that
I know.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I know.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yes, sir, Hi Bailey, are you working with the New
American tonight?
Speaker 5 (12:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I was just checking on Earth. Did you put that
feed pan in there?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
No? Not me.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Hum, that's strange. So what are you still doing here?
So late?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I stayed to finish the fence and help your dad
make room for the extra feed coming tomorrow. There's a
lot to do, and they thought it's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, that's the headline around here.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Everything all right, I guess, But.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
What about you? Who were you talking to on the phone?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
No, it's just my dad.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
He's well, I think I get it. Unpleasant phone calls
with dads must be trending too.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Does yours have your life planned out? And treat you
like a portfolio.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Not sure about the portfolio part, but I think my
dad definitely has a plan, but it's his plan. He
doesn't seem to understand that there are things I think
are important too.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Have you tried talking to him about it?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Kinda? But he thinks he knows what's best. M is
that what your dad is doing, planning what he thinks
is best for you?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Not exactly. It was actually my plan, with his help,
of course, but I'm not sure it's what I want anymore.
I think it's okay to change your mind, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
You still have so much to learn. It doesn't make
sense to stay so locked in leave no room for
new ideas.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You should tell my dad that is it.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Him who isn't adjusting to a new plan or is
it you?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Hey, I thought we were on the same side here.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Sorry. I just mean that your dad completely changed his
career to run the sanctuary with you, and maybe this
is a learning process for you both. I know it
is for me.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You're right, I must sound pretty ungrateful.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
No, no, no, that's not what I meant.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I just don't like that he's treating me like an employee,
or worse, one of his rodeo.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Kids, I can picture you in the rodeo. Please don't. Well, yeah,
i'd better get home. It's pretty late.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah, okay, see you tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Can't tomorrow. I have something scheduled already with my dad
and this job fair thing. Oh yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Good night.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I'll make sure you lock the feed room after you
stack the feed tomorrow. What don't what the god's getting
in there?
