Here are some photos from this month's stay on the farm. The cowboys are all making lassos. They stretch the leather all night from one end of the corral fence to the other. When it's stretched and dry, they braid it using the sticks wound with leather that are shown. As they go, they wrap the finished part around one of the wooden posts.

The sunflower is beautiful right now; almost ready for harvest. And, the sunrise one morning was perfect for a picture.

Be sure to check back next week when I'll be posting some information about the crops and cattle.

Welcome

Welcome to the new BJ Ranch blog from Bolivia. The idea is to use this site to update you on the happenings on the farm, as well give you a place to view photos, get to know the employees, and entertain you with news from Bolivia. We've been happy to host visitors all year long, and thought that it would be nice to give you somewhere to go to see what we've been up to since your last visit.

I hope to update the site a couple of times a month when I'm in the city, and would appreciate any comments about what you would like to see in the future. I can't promise everything, because I'm only an amateur. However, I'll do my best to give you what you ask.
