Meet Maverick and Goose our two new large guardian dogs.



These two are our heros..🙌✈️ gun
They are gonna keep my girls safe from predators.

This has been in the workings for a long time. We finally have 2 large guardian dogs who are completely bonded to sheep and not humans. (I really can't believe it) Goose (smaller)is just under a year and Maverick is just over a year.

They both had to be heavily sedated to get them here and we are working slowly to get them used to us...😬 and the sheep used to them. 🤪

Slow and steady we go!

First of all I am super grateful it has stopped raining and the sun is shining tonight and that lambing season is coming to an end.😢🙏

Praise Jesus!

But I am even more grateful for a husband to ranch with, 2 amazing dogs that take on all the hard stuff and a pack of grands that are always willing to help Gigi with the work..❤️❤️

This spring is definitely one that will be etched in my memory for years to come.

Cheers to the beautiful sunshine and no wind.

I haven't had much time or ambition to share updates from lambing and calving season, and truthfully, it's been a challenging spring.

The weather tested us at every turn, and we've lost more lambs than we'd like to admit. We also dealt with an iodine deficiency that resulted in several weak lambs at birth, creating extra challenges when raising livestock on pasture as we do.

For the first time ever, we lost a calf—not a newborn—to a predator (we think possibly a cat) It was a tough loss and a difficult reminder of the realities of ranching.

This spring has brought all the emotions: excitement over new babies, heartbreak over losses, exhaustion, frustration, and moments when I seriously questioned whether I had it in me to keep going. Ranching is rewarding, but it can also be incredibly hard on the mind, body, and heart.

Thankfully, the weather has settled, the grass is finally growing, and there are still lambs arriving. Our bottle babies are thriving and will be ready for new homes.

If you're looking for a summer project for your kids, send me a message. We'd love to help you find a little lamb to raise. ❤️

Some seasons are harder than others, but we keep showing up and doing the work.

Cheers to green pastures!

Things are in full swing over here!

We started off slow and steady with calves (seven on the ground) and now the lambs have begun to show up!

Everyone is now out on pasture and we are praying that it rains enough get these fields going, but not to much that it will hinder with calving and lambing.

Not asking for much are we?? 😂

Oh the joys of being a rancher!

Yesterday we started calving and soon lambing will follow causing us to be doing double duty for the next 6 weeks. Who planned this anyway?? (Kurt)

If you are looking for me or don't hear from me in the coming days please come looking. I will be drowning in babies and therefore not be right in the head. If you do however pop in you will most likely find me sitting in the field, watching, waiting, quietly anticipating(napping in the sun) and not getting anything done around the house. So this is my apology for my untidy home up front.

I also apologize before hand if I miss a call, don't return a text, say something that has nothing to do with what you have asked me or what we were talking about. Snap unexpectedly, fall asleep while having a conversation, or possibly text you in the middle of the night.

Well friends it could get interesting around here.
