The sun is out and its BEAUTIFUL this morning. After feeding all the critters at the home place I loaded up Wallace, Grace, and the ATV and went out to check cows. Good thing I didn't try to drive the truck up the hill to the leases or I would have had a mess....

This year's calving season is running later than usual. Most of the time, all our babies have arrived before the leaves start to turn. We bred back more heifers this year though, which makes for a less predictable calving schedule as the young...

All the calves have been rounded up and moved into the weaning enclosure so the days and nights have been noisy here at the ranch. We apologize to the neighbors! The five little ones in the back are still sharing fence-line contact with their...

We have 3 new Belted Galloway calves since my last post. A bull calf and 2 heifers. My "friend" calls them cookie cows because they are black on both ends and white in the middle. So in honor of him we named the bull calf Billy. The kids are having fun with...

Though it was still below zero last night, today is it a screaming sunny day and all the cows and bulls are less interested in eating today, than they are in sun bathing. There is a frenzy of grooming going on out in the pasture. I helped by...
