Welcome to the Merry Month of March and thanks for tuning in to Ranch Raised.
Spring is right around the corner and I can feel it. There is something about turning the calendar page to March and just knowing we have almost made it. Now, I will admit this year, we have not had much winter at all. You can curse me if you want to but I sure wouldn’t mind some have wet snow here in March and April. Ranching is a business that is heavily dependent on moisture and we are in a deficit in our area. We are starting to see more bred stock and even some pairs moving to town with the reasoning that ranches are slimming down numbers as they are looking a drought situation in the face.
But, back to March. These warm days have got me itching to get into the dirt. I keep flirting with the idea of getting some potatoes in the ground just see I can evade a spring freeze and have a fresh potato harvest in the early summer weeks. I might must start throwing some potato peelings in some dirt, just to see what that adventure takes me. Maybe some spinach too?
While we might have some wintery weather still pop up, there is something about March that gives up hope that longer days and more sunshine are right around the corner. I’ve always felt that spring feels like the actual beginning of a new year.
Get outside, breathe in that fresh air and maybe even take a walk around the block. I’m here to enjoy spring right a long with you, or at least between calving checks!
