Someone asked me one time, “What all would you have if you woke up in the morning with only those things that you had taken the time to thank the Lord for?”

In the busyness of everyday life, let’s not forget to take time to thank the One who has given us each blessing!❤️

We are thankful for each of you who have been a part of our lives! May you have a blessed Thanksgiving!🤗

After watching the cow herd struggle on range for the past two winters, is soo fun to see regenerative grazing practices pay off. They came off range land this year just gorgeous! Fat and sleek! Makes my heart sing!🥰

It’s times for the Angus herd to be moved off of rangeland and back onto the ranch. The kids are a huge help, but every spare minute gets turned into a rock ...

Spring means babies everywhere!🥰 We have a few litters of piglets on the ground with another coming next month, or at least we think so.
Micah David’s little Berkshire gilt, busted out with the boar, during the night, a couple months back. I didn’t think she had gotten bred but her belly seems to be growing..🤔

We had a cool experience happen the other morning, when I let Star in and poured her a bowl of milk for breakfast. She was calmly sitting in the kitchen, lapping it up, when all of a sudden she goes crazy! Running, sliding across the floor and running into the fridge like a mad cat! She stops, calmly steps away from the fridge with a mouse in her mouth and in 30 seconds it’s gone. The evasive mouse was sneaking by our traps but he couldn’t sneak past the our top mouser.😄

✨Merry Christmas from the Garcia family!✨
We’re so thankful for this Christmas visitation of the Holy Spirit that directs us and shows us just what is Christmas. When we see that the world is falling apart, its systems are breaking up. But we are so glad, we are so thankful that we got a Kingdom and we got a King, and It cannot be moved. And when there is no more world, when there is no more politics, when there is no more nations, God will set up His Kingdom and the righteous shall reign with Him. Those ones who have suffered will suffer no more.

About 7 years ago, we had our first litter of piglets that needed castrated.
Micah or I had never done it before, so we Googled it and learned what we could.
I let Micah do all the cutting because it made me sick to my stomach.
But the day did arrive when I needed to do it myself. With a pit in the bottom of my stomach, I made myself learn.
Ever since, I’ve been the main person on our farm for castrating, with the children always helping right along side me with any little task they can.
The last two times, Micah David’s asked to be allowed to do one all by himself.
I was hesitant. I was the “back seat driver” correcting his every movement.😂
It had to be done perfect!
He did one alone. His cut was not perfect. He took a little longer trying to be really careful. He was so gentle that it didn’t want to work correctly for him at first.
But he did one alone.
Now we have a full time helper. It’s his new favorite thing to do. And he’s gotten better and quicker.
It was hard for me to let him, but now that feeling has been replaced with a Mama’s pride in watching a child do something challenging and succeed.
If I hadn’t have left him try. He would still be sitting on the side, feeling like a little boy, not being allowed to do something hard.
But he had the chance to prove himself man enough for the job. He felt needed and responsible, sitting next to his Daddy as they worked through our latest batch of boars together.
Let them do the hard things. Most times that will amaze you at their ability!

We have an unexpected update this morning. About a week ago, Micah and I were discussing the future of our pig raising. With close to 100 growers and weaners, we came to the conclusion that we need to cut down on the amount of pigs we raise, as its too much quantity for the 10 acres that we have here along the ranch. With praying and discussion, we left all options open, with the desire to follow the Lord’s leading.
Within a few days, we were having a meeting at Golden Rule Dairy, discussing the future milk sales, as we’ve been having a hard time keeping up with the demand. The decision was made to stop cream and butter production and only focus on getting the pure, raw milk to as many customers as we can.
We don’t raise pigs in the standard way. We use the extra milk, from the cream and butter production at the dairy, to give our pigs the protein and lysine they need to grow. With the butter making and cream separating being placed on hold at the dairy, this means that we will no longer have this important piece of the pigs diet available anymore.
After more prayer and sleeping on it, the ultimate decision was made to stop pork production indefinitely and instead focus on providing more milk and beef, instead of having so many irons in the fire with raising pigs as well. Without milk, we would have to search for another protein source. We don’t feel comfortable, ourselves, eating meat from animals raised on corn or soy, let alone offering it to our customers.
We will continue to offer single cuts of pork, at the Golden Rule Dairy booth, through the following farmers markets, until our supply runs out: Steam Pump Market in Oro Valley, Rincon Market, Sierra Vista Market and Golden Rule Dairy milk drop in Bisbee.
Lord willing, beef raising will continue here on the ranch for a long time. We are continuing to grow the herd, making it possible to have beef available for everyone. With our next herd growing well, we should be getting close to beef butchering in approx 5 months. If you wanted to be notified when those deposits open, please pm me your name and email.
If you want to look for other farmers in the area who raise pigs, you might check out cprmeats.com. I believe Josh uses a gmo free grain mix, that he would be able to tell you more about, as I don’t know all the details. They won’t be milk fed, but would definitely be better than the grocery store.
We also are planning to produce piglets for anyone in the surrounding area who wants to raise their own pork. If you ever want to explore that route, we will be happy to help you along that adventure!
As much as this saddens us to have to tell you, we hope by making this step, that we will be able to serve you better in the future!
