September: Saying Goodbye to the Cattle

Every fall the cattle leave us for the slaughter house. The kids think they are just going to greener pastures, and we like to keep it that way in their mind:)


Roger has them so tame by the fall that he just pulls some buckets of feed and apples into the corral and all the cows just come trotting up for their snack.


Well, today we said goodbye to the 40 black angus and also the Bill and Bud, our Holsteins.


The new chicken coop is complete. Brian and Roger outfitted the old bunk house into a coop and it has been the perfect deluxe suite for these chickens, complete with a trap door for the birds to exit and roam in their little outdoor arena. We are so lucky to have the ranch as part of our lives.
