This Week’s Story: Close Encounters of the Salmon River Kind

The bizarre and unexpected sometimes show up in our headlights as we track through the Idaho wilderness night on twisty 2 lane highways.  Linnaea, alone in her Outback, was carefully traversing the loneliness of highway 21 at 1 AM on a midwinter night a few years back…..

It seems we’re always trailing cattle from one ranch to another. I think the cattle actually like some new scenery, and they sure would rather walk than be loaded in a trailer. Photo by Justice Mitchell.

Nic just got off the morning shift daybreak ride after starting around 4 am, they wrap it up around 1-2PM. The night crew will have made them a dutch oven brunch to dig into when they get back to camp. Photo by Justice Mitchell.

The cream sisters. These two are getting big! They were both twins off of different moms on the range, and we’ve been raising them on the ranch on milk and the thick green grasses of home. They’re running with the big herd now, and are fitting right in! Photo by Justice Mitchell.

The cattle rubbing station at the North Ranch. When the cattle come to scratch they end up walking under and bumping up against the bag of diatomaceous earth hanging from the pole. The light dusting on their coat helps naturally control any skin and fur pest problems they might have. Photo by Scott Rains.

Here’s Jody. She has a serious case of FOMO (fear of missing out). No matter how much hay is on the ground available for consumption, Jody is convinced that the hay still on the trailer is better! Photo by Rebecca Rains.

This big guy can’t seem to decide if the feed trailer is friend or foe. He likes to lumber up to the trailer and try to bowl it over, but then he seems to realize what a good scratching post it makes and loses all aggression in favor of a good rub. Scott often obligingly scratches his back for a bit as he feeds out the hay. Photo by Rebecca Rains.

Last spring’s calves are getting big! All have been hale and hearty so far this winter here on the North Ranch, for which we are very grateful. Photo by Rebecca Rains.
