Guinea Fowl. These odd-looking creatures live on a ranch where we turn on our road. Gus always watches out the window to see if they are out and about. He likes to give them a bark or two.
This longhorn bull was soaking up the sun on a warm spring day.
This guy stared me down while we stopped at a stop sign. He looks more like a donkey to me, but he is tall, so I'm saying he's a mule.
I can't pass up a palomino pic. I tried to get her to lift her head, but she ignored me. A patch of nice juicy grass was more interesting.
Those are my critters for today!

I haven't been to an auction in years, but went to one today. A rancher had sold his house and property and chose to auction ranching equipment and two horses.
This is a palomino going for a test drive.
This is our friend watching the test drive and planning his bid.
This is the horse just before the auction started. He was nervous, obviously sensing something was going on.
While he was being ridden, his lady friend was upset, snorting, and pacing. She is a Fleabit Roan. Yes, I asked and was told that's the proper name for this white horse with brown flecks.
She was a beauty. She was sold first.
Our friend won the bidding contest. The palomino was loaded up and ready to go see his new home.
He is being turned loose in a section fenced off from the other horses. Nice shady pen.
Here he is getting acquainted with the other horses and Socks, the mule.
It was hot, but turned out to be a fun day. Now there is a new horse to win over with carrots and apples.
