Ranch Ramblings in Raven

Home On The Range 

A few pastoral pics of our relatively calm and serene week on the ranch. I had only one repair to attend to this week when the electric fencing on the east side of the quarter went down and three cows were grazing in the "off limits to Beef" section. I took Rook out to drive the girls out of the area so I could fix the fencing. 


The Lulu B's and Bulls are settling in well on their Raven homestead and are getting acclimatized to the presence of me and the crew. When I call out to the "Bovine Brigade" they now come up to the fence so I can have a chat and check them out. One heifer "Lulu B. Bovine Number 4" seems to be particularly fascinated with me. When I call out to the herd she is is the first to stop by and strike and pose.

Rook drives the three hefs away from the "off limit zone" so I can repair the electric fencing on the east side. Thanks buddy!

The girls gather at the watering hole

The Lulu B's are starting to come visit me at the fencing close to the home when I call out "Lulu B's, Lulu B's!" My friend Denise took this photo on her visit out o the ranch. Thanks Denise!

My Canaan Crew seldom plays with toys so whenever they pick one from the outdoor toy box I have to try and capture the moment:-)

Ash says "Even a working girl has to take time off to show off her  playful side!"

We have had so many coyotes lately - Master Rook Tells the predators that this is his territory!"

Rook says "did I do good boss?" Yes you did Rookie Roo!
