This Week’s Story: Grazers, Grass, and the Great Unknown
The muted crack of a twig woke me from a full body fatigue sleep. Holding my breath, I strained my ears for a clue as to who was stalking in the night. There it was again, this time with breathing. Then, the rhythmic ripping of green pinegrass as whoever it was severed it from roots…..

Ranch News

The northern lights have been great this winter! Photo by Melanie.
Yesterday, the home ranch received a nice dose of snow. The finishing “fat” portion of the Alderspring herd didn’t seem to mind. Photo by Melanie.
Mae the cat gets in the middle of ranch work to the point of causing trouble. Here she’s trying to get some good paw prints on all those ear tags from our fall calving herd before we put them on. Photo by Melanie.
There’s almost 500 head in that long thin line. It’s yesterday, and the snow was still falling as the crew fed. Photo by Melanie.
It’s Annie and Baby G heading out to check stockwater on the cattle. Annie might be thrilled with the mantle of white, but Baby G, not so much (she’s a desert dog). Photo by Melanie.
It’s not the way to travel fast, but slow gets you there! Photo by Melanie.
The mighty Clyder-Tay, head border collie, keeper of hay truck dignity, holds his ground as the finish beeves attempt a lick at the hay dust on the truck bed. Photo by Melanie.
The road to headquarters (in the distance) as yesterday’s winter storm settles in. That’s the bigger herd on the foreground, around 500 hungry beeves with their heads down, grazing the last feed. They always eat more when the barometer drops. Photo by Melanie.

Wow! You all need to be writing books what it like out there amoung the animals, the weather and the frontier that you seem to love. Beautiful photos and I would be your first customer in purchasing your wonderful stories out in the wild with these beautiful photographs. I have always wanted to live on a farm as my grandparents did, but it was not God’s plan for me. So I have to live vicariously through others who do get out there and feed the animals no matter how cold it is, and hard the work gets. You just know it has to be done. You are an amazing family, the world’s children needs to be raised like this starting young, so they have a sence of belonging, not just sitting around bored in an apartment, or home they are raised in. Children today need to be weaned off electronic devises and learn about responsibilities. Purhaps you could write books on that alone if you are so enclined to do so, I truly believe there are children hungry to learn. My two cents!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful stories! Until next time!
