Ranch Raised

I have had the pleasure of working with a New Mexico cattle rancher named Erica Valdez a couple of times now. Her stories of ranching on the US/Mexico border and the challenges they face will grip you, especially if you see her pictures that bring to life her story in her presentation.

I’m going to tell you about a really cool encounter we had at the Nebraska State Fair so thanks for tuning in to Ranch Raised!

Seeing that August is National Peach Month and I devote a lot of pantry space to quart jars of peaches, let’s learn more about one America’s favorite delights!

Summertime means hot weather — sometimes dangerously hot. Right now, the scorching heat is trapped in what is called a heat dome.

I had some curiosity around why we are celebrating this and frankly who in the world thought of this fanciful concept.

Thank you for starting your week with me right here on Ranch Raised. To be honest, I feel like it is a pretty somber start to the work and with some recent events in my area, I feel drawn to talk about a subject that we occasionally cover here on Ranch Raised and that is roadway safety.

This weekend a super tuber will be celebrated! National Potato Day is August 19, so if you like spuds, this one’s for you!
