Early January Ranch Ramblings with The Crew & Cattle



Rook on New Year's Day ringing in the dawn of a New Year 

It has been a busy and bubbling "leap" into the New Year. The Crew and I have not blogged for a bit so we are playing catch-up with our ramblings. There is never a dull moment on the ranch, and we are all ready fast and furious on our feet as we embrace the start of 2013. 

We hope you enjoy some of our tales and snapshots of our early January happenings on the ranch.


RINGING IN THE YEAR



Master Rook says "It is a new dawn, and a new day!
Rook inspects some of our freshly split poplar. It has been very cold so we have to keep up on our wood supply.
Rook performs his new year's day morning "dogma" stretches so he can be alert and ready to help me bring the bull's their minerals
Rook keeps the boys at bay while I prepare to bring them their minerals. 
Miss Ash helps me check on the feed for the bulls

I don't think I will ever get tired of our sunsets - I love seeing our mountains in the distance on a clear day

BRANDING OUR HERD


The New Year was also "a'blazing" with plans to brand my bovine brigade. 

me sporting the latest in branding gear and fashions:-)
Me getting lessons on my first intro to branding from Wayne and my business partner Richard looking on - I did get a thumb's up at the end of a long and successful day of branding my girls and Richard's new heifers that he has recently added to his  herd.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST - THE COURTSHIP OF A BEAUTIFUL DUO!



Rook has been busy courting the lovely Miss Ash. Myself and many others have been waiting patiently for this planned courtship. Well, the first part is complete - thanks to Rook:-) Now the next stage of waiting begins:-) If "Luck" has it these two sweethearts will be parents in March.

The duo wanted to share a few Fav pics from their album.

A Little Merry Christmas from"The Kelev K'naani"

When it is "Bitter and Cold" the Canaan Crew  can turn it to "Glitter and Gold". My "Kelev K'naani" and cattle are looking forward to another New Year with more challenges and adventures ahead of us.

Best Wishes From me and  my "Kelev K'naani" 

Miss Easy Breezy Festive Cover Girl "Ash" is always ready to shine 
Miss Cybelle AKA "Bibs"  is always ready for a shoot - and like a true fashion Diva she is prepared to show off the latest fashion accessories 
Master "Rook" says "look how good my sit-stays are progressing - and how long do I have to hold this regal shot?"
Master Rook says "ok, since I now have to do an extended down-stay for how long? I am going to chill and give a raspberry to the camera" - Two-year old Rook was quick to remind me that male Canaan Dogs take at least four year's to fully mature physically and mentally  - yep, as I say "many miles before we sleep":-) But, been there and again with the breed......does he know I have a leg up on him:-)
Rook says  "ok I lasted quite some time on that down-stay, now it's time for me to dine on some festive raw treats!
Ash says "me too!"
Ash says "if I pose again will I get some more stinky tripe from the Canaan diner!"

Cybelle says "look how long I can maintain my Diva pose:-)"
