Today, we are showing you how things work on the ranch! It’s a fairly simple process, but some projects take their time. Re-doing the fence and clearing out the tree limbs so far has taken us 4 days (not in a row) and we are almost ready to start building up the fence. Now, being a part-time cow taker is just a little bit harder then removing tree limbs. You don’t want to scare the cows or their young, especially when trying to identify the calf’s mother. In this case, when we found Desi’s newborn boy, Douglas, Desi became really protective. Douglas was also feeding off Desi, and the original cow we were looking for was still pregnant. So we knew instantly that Douglas belonged to Desi.

Working on the ranch has been quite the experience. Getting to drive things like Bobcats or Tractors and working with all the animals. It has been fun and also teaches you fundamentals of a different lifestyle, if one of us would choose to become a rancher.
