    I've chosen my 2024 heifer...

    A couple of weeks ago I tried to embed video from TikTok here, like I do on Backyardchickens, but it didn't work. Only You Tube. I'm just going to put the TTs on Youtube So I can share them here like the three above. I'm sorry if I was confusing.

    I've chosen my 2024 heifer...

    I uploaded the tiktoks to YouTube so y'all can see what I was trying to show you before... And my pick: Hi! I've missed y'all. The ranch has been busy.

    IHeifer Selection So Good It Hurts

    '4 I should be. able to embed them here. I was just too fired from bottle feeding a kitten who doesn't want a bottle this morning. I'll see if my brain can get it right shortly. Surely I can. I made a tiktok embed a few days ago. (Sometimes my ADD is no joke .)

    IHeifer Selection So Good It Hurts

    As you may know, my ranchers give me first dibs on a calf every year as a bonus. You may also know I'm inclined to choose a heifer. What you may not know is that it has been a hard decision to make, especially if I try to leave emotions out of it, because my favorites are always an emotional...

    UN-successful: Feeding 4-week-old Kitten HELP NEEDED urgently.

    I'm not sure there IS a "rest of the litter." This momma cat is VERY young. "I can hardly believe she's birthed at all" kind of young. I'm guessing this kitten is 3-5 weeks old and I certainly didn't think this mamma was expecting a kitten, much less, a litter. Even so, pretty solid search was...

    It is possible that mom fed him... even probable. That was at about 8pm yesterday. Have been squeezing the bottle a little terrified of aspirating...

    UN-successful: Feeding 4-week-old Kitten HELP NEEDED urgently.

    Short version: I've been trying to feed this kitten 'for' 24 hours. He hasn't gotten a drop from the bottle. I don't know what I'm doing. Please advise. Long version: On Saturday afternoon, I got distracted while replacing plexiglass in a broken window of the ranch vehicle I drive. The window...

    Saying Goodbye to the Steers

    We lost very few calves on the ground this year. It was a bumper crop. Best year the ranch has ever had. There are 42 heifers and 9 steers left at the ranch. I get to keep a heifer, so there will be more videos.

    Saying Goodbye to the Steers

    Hi, all! Tuesday was the "official" end of 2024 Calf Season on the ranch where I work. The bulk of our calves, 260 of them, loaded onto trucks and moved on in their journey. This was my third time shipping calves at the ranch. The bittersweet surrender of the babies I've raised, fed, protected...

    Please Tell Me I'm Not the Only One

    Awe! Thanks! I hope it's not just for my organizational skills... Those skills only work in Google Photos. Everywhere else, I'm a hot mess.

    Please Tell Me I'm Not the Only One

    That's how I organize my opics in Google Photos. I start a new album titled "class of 202X " when the first calf arrives, and everything goes in there until the next first calf. If something special happens with non-calves, it goes into the "class of" album and into one that's more specific. For...

    Please Tell Me I'm Not the Only One

    Last week I was tasked with eradicating mesquite trees on part of the ranch that hasn't been grasped in years. Before I was finished, I had dozens, if not hundreds of photos of grasses and weeds. ① please don't tell my boss that I took more pictures than the dozen or so I sent to him. I...

    Please Tell Me I'm Not the Only One

    I'm glad I read the top of the journal page! I've been thinking about changing my handle everywhere I'm Dogs Cows Chicken to Spotted Heifer as a means to manifesting Spotted Heifer Ranch and/or Ranch Services.. I should do that before I start my journal, I suppose.
