I should be. able to embed them here. I was just too fired from bottle feeding a kitten who doesn't want a bottle this morning. I'll see if my brain can get it right shortly. Surely I can. I made a tiktok embed a few days ago. (Sometimes my ADD is no joke .)
As you may know, my ranchers give me first dibs on a calf every year as a bonus. You may also know I'm inclined to choose a heifer. What you may not know is that it has been a hard decision to make, especially if I try to leave emotions out of it, because my favorites are always an emotional...
I'm not sure there IS a "rest of the litter." This momma cat is VERY young. "I can hardly believe she's birthed at all" kind of young. I'm guessing this kitten is 3-5 weeks old and I certainly didn't think this mamma was expecting a kitten, much less, a litter. Even so, pretty solid search was...
Short version: I've been trying to feed this kitten 'for' 24 hours. He hasn't gotten a drop from the bottle. I don't know what I'm doing. Please advise.
Long version: On Saturday afternoon, I got distracted while replacing plexiglass in a broken window of the ranch vehicle I drive. The window...
We lost very few calves on the ground this year. It was a bumper crop. Best year the ranch has ever had.
There are 42 heifers and 9 steers left at the ranch. I get to keep a heifer, so there will be more videos.
Hi, all! Tuesday was the "official" end of 2024 Calf Season on the ranch where I work. The bulk of our calves, 260 of them, loaded onto trucks and moved on in their journey. This was my third time shipping calves at the ranch. The bittersweet surrender of the babies I've raised, fed, protected...
That's how I organize my opics in Google Photos. I start a new album titled "class of 202X " when the first calf arrives, and everything goes in there until the next first calf. If something special happens with non-calves, it goes into the "class of" album and into one that's more specific. For...
Last week I was tasked with eradicating mesquite trees on part of the ranch that hasn't been grasped in years. Before I was finished, I had dozens, if not hundreds of photos of grasses and weeds. ① please don't tell my boss that I took more pictures than the dozen or so I sent to him. I...
I'm glad I read the top of the journal page! I've been thinking about changing my handle everywhere I'm Dogs Cows Chicken to Spotted Heifer as a means to manifesting Spotted Heifer Ranch and/or Ranch Services..
I should do that before I start my journal, I suppose.
Several people have mentioned external and/or physical drives. I keep multiple backups, all over the place, but it seems like every time I try to have a tangible backup I lose it in some kind of once-in-a-lifetime type of event. To limit such events, now I just duplicate duplicates of my digital...
I just want to write this number out it words:
Sixty-six-THOUSAND-five-hundred-sixty-eight.
Are you okay?? Do you need us to send help?
Obviously (I hope), I'm just playing with you, but NINETY-SIX-THOUSAND-FOUR-HUNDRED-EIGHTY-THREE is an impressive amount of anything!!
Hey, y'all ! I'm here to engage! I can't believe I posted this and just abandoned it while y'all were answering my question! That was tacky and I apologize for it.
@canesisters I wish I had realized just how much I had let myself get attached to Little Buddy before he left the ranch. He would...
