A Star is Born
Every now and then we see a brand new calf and we know immediately that it will be one of the best in the breed. This fancy new heifer is shown with it’s mom, Chocolate Chip. Sire is Coach.
You can already see the quality in her face structure. You see a calf like this and all the work and money and hours invested all seem worthwhile.
Road Progress
Work continues on rebuilding the road to the ranch headquarters. At this point we have hauled well over 100 loads of road base. The process requires spreading the base, wetting it down with a water truck and then rolling with a vibrating roller. All of this is in preparation for paving.
This is the dump truck we purchased to haul base.
We have spent a lot of time getting the angles right to be sure the water drains away from the road.
