We said goodbye to Bluestones Frannie today. She left before the sun rose; and will possibly be home to NE before the sun sets! Frannie is out of Skye High Ego Trip and Bluestones Fanny; Fanny is out of Big Ridge Drummond and Sayre Farms Miss May. (All pictured 🥰) Frannie is docile like all of the combination of genetics she’s been given; and we hope her new home in Nebraska loves her as much as we have loved her parents and grandparents! Behind each animal I have sold is a heap of history and love - & maybe a little bit of heartache seeing them go! But there is a lot of joy and reward seeing animals be valued in their new homes, and it is a lot of fun for me to meet fellow ranchers and make connections across the US. #highlandcattle #ranchlife

Osceola GlimmerOGlory x LiTerra Black Jack = Bluestone’s Beatrice! She is a little thing out of a first calf heifer; but full of spunk, sweetness, and the flashiest highlights. She quickly became one of my daughters favorites and so she’s been getting lots of halter training time. 🥰

Grass-fed Highland beef bologna; a clean recipe lightly sweetened with North Dakota honey straight from @brownsranch ! This is a sandwich meat that I truly feel good feeding my kids! It’s not the type of natural food where you sacrifice flavor/texture either... it is simply delicious and screams BOLOGNA! from my childhood, but better. Will hit the website soon! #northdakotagrown #healthyfood #farmtotable #knowyourrancher

We have animals going to Utah, Colorado, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Michigan this week! They are all being picked up tonight and hauled by Jonathan Lippert. We are looking forward to seeing them in their new homes! #highlandcattle #mangalitsapigs

Frannie is up for bids at cowmatch.com 🥰 She’s a sweet, smaller registered heifer; a bit over a year old, out of some lovely lines! Big Ridge Voodoo Magic on her mother’s side and sired by Skye High Ego Trip.

A good pig setup is a constant learning curve! Access to pasture, (but with the ability to pen off pasture when needed) fresh water, plenty of bedding, shelter, feed, and room for farrowing. Sorting pens make life much better. Raising pigs on pasture is a challenge: there is definitely a reason why it’s easiest in a climate controlled concrete building! But being around happy pigs, helping a mother farrow her piglets, and completing the cycle with tasty pork on your plate that you have a true connection to, that makes it all worthwhile. ***Today it was RAINING and 50 degrees in North Dakota in January! I cannot express how uncommon this is. ***

Busy on the ranch! Ego Trip is enjoying his peaceful bull pen by the barn; meanwhile the rest of the herd was brought into our home corrals (singlehandedly; by myself 🥇) I may add- I have completely redesigned and revamped the corrals in the last few days for easier handling and additional sorting pens! I think free standing panels and panels with gates may be the greatest invention of all time. And of course, a bit of riding with the kids because it is in the mid-40’s in North Dakota, in January! 🌞

This sweet girl is going to North Carolina in a few weeks. She had her first halter training lesson today and just lowered her head to be brushed the whole time. What a good girl! 🥰

This handsome brindle bull calf was chosen as a buddy for our bull “Ego Trip” this winter. We are seeing how he develops, but he’s one of the few I’m keeping as a bull to register of my 2020 calves. Drover Hill Maybelle’s Victor x Bluestone’s Longmire. Bloodlines feature Trafalgar Victor (a Sunset Limited Edition son) and GH Mr Dickens on his maternal side along with STR Optimus Prime and LEA Haaken on his paternal side (just to name a few!)

The kids found this sign and thought it would be appropriate for the bull pen. 😂 *For the record, he a is very gentle bull and he won’t toss you over the fence!*

Happy pigs, happy cows! #mangalitsa #highlandcattl

Skye High Ego Trip came home from pasture last night. Mid December is late for us to have cattle out on grass; but they had plenty of grass and unseasonably warm weather. But it sure feels great to have everyone home for the winter! ❄️

No stirrups, no problem! I had to get a video of six year old Sylvie running across the frosty field on “Misty”. 😍 Ranch kids sure live the life! #ranchkids
