Ranch Raised

We’ve made it through December and we’ve made it through 2022, which coincidentally is our first full year of Ranch Raised!

This year I’m going to keep my countdown to 3 notable memories even though I could fill you with a week’s worth of listening.

Christmas on the Jones Ranch was uneventful and perfect. We have too many cows relying on simple life sustaining measures like having their ice chopped to drink and being fed that keeps us home, even on holidays.

Twas the Friday before Christmas and all through the ranch not a creature was stirring because they are all frozen!

I was going to continue on with more thoughts that run through a rancher’s head on days like today but honestly it is exhausting.

For those of you who are not livestock owners, I wanted to give you a look into what we are thinking on days like today!

If I’m being honest, I think that most of us involved in raising livestock really do not have our eye on any big holiday event coming up. We are literally in a fight mode expending every ounce of energy and every minute of daylight to take care of livestock right now.

I know, we are now under one week until Christmas. Blood pressure is rising across the land. The weather is not exactly cooperating. A perfect holiday experience hangs in the balance….or does it.
