We asked the ranch animals to tell us how they feel about the upcoming weekend 🐄🤩

We documented their responses:

Sometimes ranch work stops you in your tracks — not for a fence that needs fixing, but to appreciate the amazing animals around you. Or in this case, the reptiles. 🐍

Our ranch manager came across this beautiful bull snake out in the pasture, and we just had to share! Bull snakes are incredible animals and honestly some of the best neighbors a ranch can have. They keep rodent populations in check, are non-venomous, and play an important role in keeping our local ecosystem balanced.

We safely relocated him back to the pasture where he belongs — back to doing what he does best. 👏

What are you gonna write your summer report on? ☀️📝

We know what these campers will be writing about! 🐓Camp CALF brings everlasting memories of running through fields, playing in creeks, and learning just how amazing agriculture is!

We wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but here this summer 🚜🌾

We are so grateful for the hard work and dedication of Eagle Scout Kade and his Eagle Project team! 🦅⭐

Aiden and his crew put in all the posts for our new pens, and the craftsmanship and effort they brought to the job was truly impressive. Projects like these aren't just about the finished product — they're about the skills these young people are building along the way. From planning and leadership to problem-solving and hard physical work, the Eagle Scout program shapes incredible individuals, and it shows.

Thank you, Kade, and everyone who helped make this happen. We are so proud to have been part of your journey. 💚

One of our favorite things about having a greenhouse? Being able to share what we grow with our community. 🌱

We are so grateful to have recently supported some incredible local organizations:

🌿Castle Rock Assisted Living
🌿 Happy Crew
🌿 A Third Place for Kids
🌿 Douglas County Schools
🌿 FFA
🌿 Wellspring

So many trays of plants going to people and places doing amazing things in our community. It truly fills our hearts to give back in this way. 💚

On May 9th, we officially cut the ribbon on the Larry Carnahan Barn and we are still smiling about it! 🎀 What a celebration — surrounded by our community, our donors, our CALF Kids, and the people who made this dream a reality. This barn represents so much more than a building. It means more space for our animals, more room for our CALF Kids to grow, and a lasting legacy for the next generation of agriculture.
To everyone who gave their time, resources, and hearts to make this possible — THANK YOU.

A huge thank you to our friends at for bringing their team out to the ranch for a volunteer day! 🌱 It is always such a joy to welcome corporate volunteers who roll up their sleeves and get to work alongside us. CoBank's partnership and support of CALF means so much to everything we do here.
Does your company want to get outside, give back, and connect with agriculture? We would love to have you! Reach out to us at [email protected] to plan your company volunteer day!
