The project for the weekend was building a new loading chute for the cattle. Uncle Kenny Albee came to the ranch and we got it done in about a day and a half.

New venture at the Rafter O. These are the first of our Babydoll Southdown sheep. They are the miniature line of the Southdown heritage from England. Super cute and friendly little sheep. They are known for their short stocky build and permanent smile.

These are not the fun one but it’s part of the business. This guy was a true gentle giant and would always meet Lori and I at the gate. Loved to have his head scratched. And loved his animal crackers. Today the Ol Man didn’t make the trip. I truly loved ya Augustus. You were my friend. Number 4 in the world but Number 1 in our heart. See Ya Around Pal.
