Fabulous day to move a group of cows. #ranchlife #rancherslife #cattle #cattlecountry Have a great week. #happymonday😊 #ranchlife #viewfrommykitchenwindow The magic of ruminant conversion #ranchlife #beeftastesgood Happy day! No matter what the weather is like the cattle get fed. #ranchlife #cattleranch #cattledog #johndeerepower #everyday #nodaysoff The splash of sunset colours called me to hurry outside to catch an image of the fading rays. 
While I was out I took the opportunity to check in on the new feed bunks getting set up in a calf pen and the portable wind breaks which are all in position for colder days to come. 
November tasks getting done 😊 #ranchlife #cattlemencare #worktillthejobisdone
