Here We Go

It’s almost that time of year. We’ve been prepping for it and our time for preparation is about over.

Perches

You may have spent your day perched on your couch watching the big game, but the animals around here had to find other ways to spend their time.

Little Vacation

The cows are now in on the fields eating hay. It has to feel like a vacation from having to actively go find the the grass, don’t you think?

Winter Project

Welcome to 2020! I hope everybody’s New Year is going well. With the short days and most of the cows still out in the badlands, we are working on some projects that we couldn’t get to in the fall.

Winter Week

I can go for weeks without going to town normally, but this week I went to town a lot!

Admit It

I think we just have to admit it now: winter is here. We’ve started our regular rotation in the badlands opening water for the cows.

Summer Farming Update

Back in August I shared a bit about how we planted some hay and cover crops for the cattle to graze this fall. I know it’s a little late, but I just wanted to let you know how that turned out. It seemed like there was a lot of interest in our summer farming so here is just a little bit about how it all turned out.

Saving Daylight Time

We successfully sorted and trailed (most) of our cows out to winter pasture.

Water Woes

I think our Mesa pasture is pretty nice. It is higher in elevation, but not so high that the grass comes too late and the snow comes too early, but it does have one problem: it has, basically, one source of water.

Cool Down

When the winter storms are coming and the conditions are getting tough for the calves to be grazing on the mountain and the cows to be nursing them, we pull them down.
