Here is my Dad. He is an amazing man. He never stops teaching, working, and loving his family. Here he is teaching the grandsons about getting too many cows into the holding pen and that by crowding them you get into a mess.
All of these years this has been my dad's way of walking. He has his hand on his hips. We have always been able to look around rather into the field, at the fairground, in a crowd and recognize him because he always has his hands on his hips.
He has been a rancher for over fifty years. He still enjoys to being a part of anything that is going on at the ranch and is always right in there helping with everything. He is watching the branding and preg testing of the cows in this photo.
We went to fix fence one day and he hiked up the hill, pounded nails, put the stretchers in his hand and walk a good couple of miles, repairing the fence where it needed it. Here was a gate that was broken and he rebuilt the gate.
Here he is on his trusty four wheeler with the weed killer container hooked up. He is on the dry farm killing thistle.
There is that stance again. He is such an amazing man.
He had a tractor get stuck which is a blog in and of itself. But he is carrying those chains through the field with his buddy Rooster to chain his stuck tractor to the other one to pull it out.
He is an incredible man. He has taught us so much through the years. He has been patient with us, given us good sound advise, loved us unconditionally, sacrificed for us, and been an incredible example through his life and ours. How blessed we have been to be Worton children and to have been under his watchful eye all of our lives.

Your Dad sounds amazing. No wonder you are such a special person. We miss you, but are glad you are having a good time.
Old Farmers are my favorite people. :) I'd love to meet him. And they are always sweet with little girls so I'll have to bring Lib.
