Kaas Second Chance Ranch

Kaas Second Chance Ranch We bought our property in July 2021 and combined 2 families. The property had been milking farm until 2003. Second chances has been a theme in all of this.

Since then, only the fields and and house were rented. So when we moved in, one our first projects was rebuilding the barn walls. It served as our wedding venue in March 2022 when we married. We were able to get the spring fed waterer and one field of fence put up to bring over about a dozen cows in the fall of 2022. In the spring and summer of 2023 we added a storage shed and fenced another field

. Whether finding love a second time, finding the metal siding for the barn in the wood on the property, scraping a barn and fence in PA to reuse for our fencing and storage shed, or using vintage equipment, we feel the history and traditions of everything that we're doing and using make everything more special.

Chas is getting ready to take his fall steers to the butcher next Monday. If you’re interested, we have a 1/2 cow and a 1/4 cow available.

Here is the half and quarter cow info:
- The average hanging weight for the last 4 has been 700 pounds.
- So a 1/2 would average 350 pounds per half.
- Based on that average of 350 hanging weight total would be $1,669.50 total (less than $5/lb)
-You pay Chas his portion
- You work out with the butcher exactly what cuts you want and pick it up directly from them in Emmitsburg, PA in about 2 weeks

Break down of fees
$1,312.50 (350 pounds x $3.75 per pound) to Chas
$357 to the butcher: approx. $287 (350 pounds x $0.82 per pound to cut/wrap/freeze) + $70 kill fee to butcher.(butchers cost may change)

A huge thanks to Limitless Contracting for installing a creek crossing for the cows that is wide enough and strong enough for a car to cross and waterers for 3 fields. This was no easy feat in a town named Rocky Ridge.

On a happier note, Chas reminded me that today is our 3 year housiversary buying a 100+ year old, 3 bedroom house for 6 people that had 3 of the 4 septic lines clogged, brown water from the well, a master shower that didn’t work, and evidence of snakes in the garage and basement and a collapsing barn.
I’m 3 short years he/we/family have worked to resolve the maintence issues, rebuild the barn, build another storage shed, finish the attic, put in a pool, fence the field by the house.
I’m so glad that we took that leap of faith and can’t wait to see what the next 3 and even 30 years brings💞

Things happen in 3’s and then you’re done, right?
A weekend ago we had the Great Chicken Massacre of 2024 when the door closed before 8 chickens could be put in and a fox kind them.
Yesterday morning a deer got jumped the sheep fence and then couldn’t get up and had to be shot.
Then last night Q saw a lump in the field that turned out to be Underdog. For some reason he fell out and died.
No more bad mojo.

I love summer mornings. Sitting on the front porch with my coffee, carding my fleece and watching cars and bikes go by.
