Miss Chicken found her snuggle buddy Mack on a cold morning as they were both waiting for the sun to warm them up. It is a beautiful thing to see the different animals getting along and loving on each other.

Once a bottle lamb…. Always a bottle lamb.
This year we had our first bottle lambs Ever in Rammie and Yoda. They are all grown up now and it was time to bring them from the ram meat flock back to the breeding flock… Jamie just picked them up and put them in the truck and they enjoyed the ride! Just like they did when they were baby lambs. We love these boys

4 companies( Tyson,Cargill,JBS and National Beef) control 85% of the beef packing industry. 2 of those companies are Brazilian controlled ( National Beef and JBS)
While we believe the industrial food system serves a purpose, we have chosen not to sell our cattle into that system.
Instead we raise them from the day they are born on the ranch until the day they are harvested for beef at a local processor and sold directly to the end consumer.
Thank you for supporting farms and ranches like ours.

As fall is moving along we keep the cattle moving as well. This morning we moved the weaned calves across the pond. A beautiful morning! southpoll

Getting ready to head into her 20th winter!!!
About 45 days ago I was a little concerned that grandma wasn’t looking in good condition, she looked thin. We weaned her heifer calf off a bit earlier than normal so she could stop milk production and hopefully put on some weight. She is looking good for 19 years and 7 months old. I have said it before but she is a very confident and humble animal. Love having her in the herd. I look for her everyday as I there are fewer day ahead compared to what is in the rear view mirror.
