Ranch News

It’s not often ranchers take vacations, but the whole crew made a trip down to southern Utah the week before last. Aaron and Scott and Rebecca held down the fort on the ranch and in the warehouse while we all got to enjoy some warm weather, hiking, swimming, pickleball, and rappelling in St. George. Here’s everyone at Zion National Park! -Melanie

Justice and Jed are slight daredevils when it comes to heights. We all stood on Scout’s Landing and admired the views from there, but they had to climb just a little higher! -Melanie

Here’s part of the crew practicing rappelling near St. George. Emily has significant climbing experience, and Glenn has done quite a bit as well. They helped everyone get started with the technique and equipment on this short descent! -Melanie

While rappelling is exciting when you’re actually on the rope, there was plenty of waiting around with such a big crew. We also encountered a few other parties that we told to go ahead of us; we were pretty slow at it while we figured out all of the gear. It was a great excuse to soak up some Arizona sunshine though! -Melanie

Snow Canyon was about 15 minutes away from where we were staying in St. George, and it’s one of our favorite places to go! The rock formations are beautiful and there are some nice easy hikes, which was great for the younger nieces and nephews. -Melanie

Before we left for Utah, I moved the horses onto some new grass. They’ve been grazing all winter and they’re fat and happy! I check them almost every day to make sure everyone is healthy, maintaining good body condition, and injury free. -Melanie

Clancy is doing great on winter graze! He’s a little bit of a “harder keeper”, which means he needs more calories than some of the other horses to maintain his weight. I keep an eye on all of them to ensure they’re all maintaining their weight well, and we’ll feed them supplementary hay if they’re not. So far this winter even the harder keepers are fat and very healthy, with plenty of cover over their ribs and toplines, soft winter coats and plenty of energy turned out on pasture. -Melanie
