Just Ranchin’! Thanks for joining me today on Ranch Raised.
Being a female rancher this time of year, gets me a little sympathetic to the 100’s of females of we care for every day who are in their later stages of gestation. Nothing could be more true that a scene from life this morning.
Let start by saying, it was another frigid start to the day. There are some modern conviniences that I have worked hard to afford and I don’t owe anyone an explanation for using them. Que the heated seats in my suburban. I needed to go chop ice for the bred heifer, who I could see on the ridge above our house were starting to come up out of the draws they bedded down in for the night. I stepped outside in a hoodie to run to go start a vehicle and in a moment of wisdom I plopped right in my suburban with heated seats and said to the ole girl, “you are the chosen one this morning! I will let that diesel lumber wagon rest a little longer in the sun.” So, with my bum warming up nicely in those heated seats I headed out to the heifers, floated along the trail to their tank, opened their water up for their morning drink and then went back to my perch, I mean heated seat. My suburban was now surrounded by heifers life moths to a flame. I put my car in reverse and the back up camera was beeping and throwing alerts that I was dangerously close to objects which were just heifers that were trying to peer into my back window. And I know what they were thinking, “Momma do you got any cake in this grocery getter?” To which I replied, “Girls, if I’m hauling cake in this family wagon, rest assured its for me, not you!”
Okay, I’ve got cows and a family to feed, so I’ll catch you right back here tomorrow!
