HIstory of the Navajo Churro sheep.

For as long as anyone can remember, Churro sheep have been central to Navajo life and spirituality. Yet the animal was nearly exterminated by the federal government, which deemed it an inferior breed. Now the Churro is making a comeback, but the old Navajo ways may not.

Not all of the animals on the ranch are large. This baby praying mantis was on the grill this afternoon while I was cleaning it. It’s about the size of a drop of water.

It’s that time of year when the Monarch butterflies start to exit their chrysalis. This one came out this morning. Lots of butterfly flowers around the ranch for them to thrive.
