This Week’s Story: Into the Wild after Weeds

I was the Forage Scout yesterday. What that entails is getting my 56 year old rear end fastened to a dirt bike for a rough and tumble journey of 140 miles across hill and dale and mountain and canyon and seeing what the grassland situation is across all of our wilderness range…..

Ranch News

Melanie grabbed this beautiful shot in the Stanley basin about an hour and a half away from Alderspring while on her honeymoon a few weeks ago! The flowers really responded to our recent rains!

Max came to us from Slovakia! Here he is on Ruby. Max brings to the team an incredible love for the plant part of our grazing ecosystem. Photo by Chris Hayek.

Melanie grabbed this shot of our temporary water tank setup. This one will have been in place for 24 hours. The water’s hauled from less than a mile away where a gravity fed spring fills the trucks.

Ella comes to us from Napa, California. It’s her second year on the Alderspring team. She brings an incredible collection of veterinary technician skills she picked up in her course of study at Cal Poly, and alongside of that she’s a fantastic camp cook! Photo by Chris Hayek.

That’s range rider Jed opening the gravity-fed water into the stock tanks we deployed for the several hundred head we’re grazing on the Range. Every crew has somebody who’s dedicated to handling the water. It may be just gravity feeding it from a spring or the creek or actually having to haul the old army trucks to a nearby flat tank location on a road. Photo by Melanie.

That’s Aspen camp, our newest camp on the 120 day journey. It sits at about 7,000 ft, and with that elevation gain, cool temperatures can be experienced even in midsummer. Heat stress is pretty much non-existent on the cattle! Photo by Melanie.

Chris Hayek grabbed his shot of our six interns that rode with us for the 2026 season. Three of them continued on beyond the internship with paid positions as we transitioned our cattle to the High Country. Every one of them was fantastic and a pleasure to work with!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, it’s hay season! We got to put away some winter feed for when our grass is covered by snow. Photo by Glenn.
