The March 20th Meat out day that the governor of Colorado declared quickly changed from a slap in the face to producers to a show of much need support from people all over instead participating in Meat In day and even governors like mine in Oklahoma purposing a week of meat in response. The agricultureContinue reading “Meat In Day Was A Great Day!”

Let’s be AGvocates!
My mind has been heavy lately thinking about the Colorado governor declaring a meat free day. It seems like Ranchers and Farmers are attacked more consistently as time goes on with things like “Beyond Meat” hits the market and people are further and further removed from where their food comes from. I also think thatContinue reading “Let’s be AGvocates!”
Meet Stewart
Just like in people sometimes cattle have genetic defects. We had one present itself and while my husband was very disappointed I was kind of excited. You see Stewart is a dwarf. I thought that when he was born he was the cutest thing ever and as he grew the cuteness didn’t leave. He hasContinue reading “Meet Stewart”
The Big Freeze
We are finally thawing out and catching back up from a crazy freeze. We spent over 10days below freezing with most days barely getting into the teens. I saw a lot of people up north making fun of us and all of the trouble that it caused us. I grew up in Colorado and IContinue reading “The Big Freeze”
Thank the Backbone of America
The ground hog wasn’t lying when he saw his shadow predicting more winter. Most of the states are experiencing a huge artic blast. Here in Oklahoma we are only a few days into what were guessing is going to be over a weeks worth of below freezing temperatures. Most people are huddled up at homeContinue reading “Thank the Backbone of America”
Weaning Time

We just weaned our fall calvers and although its sort of sad to hear their cries its very necessary. We wean calves so that theirContinue reading “Weaning Time”

I started working with a colt that was bred to buck but just doesn’t have it. It’s something that I really enjoy doing other then it makes it a little harder for me to say goodbye when it’s time for them to go to their new home. This colt that I have been working withContinue reading “Trust”
Dreams Can Change
This week we were able to sell three bucking horses that didn’t want to buck to some great people. I went through a lot of emotions when they headed for their new home. I have to admit that the bucking horses are not my passion they are my husbands. I prefer horse shows over rodeo.Continue reading “Dreams Can Change”
Keep Your Eye On The Cow
I have spent a ton of money taking lessons cutting or going down the fence where my trainer was frustrated and blue in the face from telling me to watch the cow. Now your probably thinking duh that’s easy. What else would you be looking at? Well for me it’s not that easy. I likeContinue reading “Keep Your Eye On The Cow”
Goodbye 2020!
I like many others am pretty happy to be closing the chapter of 2020 and am hoping for a better 2021. This year has been challenging in many ways. I had many heatbreaks, challenges and setbacks but their were also some good things. I was able to work some horse shows that I wouldn’t haveContinue reading “Goodbye 2020!”
