This Week’s Story: Comatose Cow Crew
The large lean-to tarp flapped in the cool night air and the Coleman lantern cast a warm orb over the cook tent. I eyed my crew as we sat quietly eating supper off the camp stove and grill. They were catatonic as they chewed dinner, and looking slightly stupefied…..

Goats. Lots of them. Owned by son-in-law Wesley (who ships your beef) and daughter Maddy, they are attacking weeds on one of our certified organic lease ranches. They are winning! Photo by Glenn.

The Great Pyrenees guardians get to come in every morning while Caryl and I watch the sunrise. It’s a much needed break after working the night rounds at all dark hours! Photo by Glenn.

I love reading your emails in the morning. The pictures are refreshing, some brought tears to my eyes. You all are doing God’s work, it can’t be easy, but we appreciate it. Our family thanks you all every time we cook up a piece of your beef, or your lamb! Had that for the first time recently, best ever!!
I’m glad your guardian dogs get to come in for a bit. I’d always been told that the guardians aren’t pets, don’t pet them, don’t talk to them…and then I met some. Well, when they come up to you, wagging their huge tail, and just begging to be petted, whaddya gonna do? (Of course, I was behaving myself, not bothering the sheep when they welcomed me!)
