Getting an early start on spring chores! And yes, we are obsessed with using our hay bales as ladders. Everything around here multi-tasks (our children are also sometimes employees, our employees are also friends, our cows are also weed eaters, our horses are also lawn mowers, our milk cow also produces the best beef calf every year … I could go on forever here but I’ll spare you all 😆).

Oops…I opened the closet to grab the broom and clean the house but somehow we ended up here instead 😆.

Apparently my broom closet is a portal to the horses.

Anytime I worry about my outside horses in winter, I go and ride them, or just catch them for that matter. Man, are they fresh! December was 30 degrees warmer but wet and sloppy and they complained to us all the time. I’m pretty sure they prefer this cold weather to July and bugs. It’s warmed up to a sunny 15 degrees right now but headed for negative temps tonight.

It’s ranch maintenance season! We don’t have an extension ladder big enough for this job, so it takes some extra ingenuity to change the lightbulbs in the barn. Added bonus is the crazy trust exercise 😆
(And maybe the test to see if you have vertigo!?)

Y’all.. do you know someone getting married soon

Y’all.. do you know someone getting married soon? Come get married at Castle Rock Ranch. We’re super weird (or unique, whatever you want to call it). All your DIY visions come true however you want to make that a reality. You can bring ten people, or all of your friends and family. You can bring your horse (yes, absolutely!), you can bring your dogs (possibly but let’s talk - sometimes they bite). You can stay for an hour, or you can camp and spend 2 WHOLE days (remember, with your horse and on the river!) Bring your flip flops, or your black tie attire, or your cowgirl boots - just bring your party shoes because it’s going to be fun!

We’ll take snow in winter over rain any day - it’s easier to feed, easier to keep the animals cleaner and dryer and we use less feed too because the cows aren’t eating as much just to stay warm. In wet weather, a mother cow starts burning energy just to stay warm when it’s 50 degrees and raining, but when it’s cold and snowy, that number drops to 20 degrees. Hopefully the snowy weather is here to stay for the rest of winter. With the snow to protect the pasture the cows can stay out in it all winter where they’re healthiest. ✨
