We have animals going to Utah, Colorado, Tennessee

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! 🌞

Merry Christmas. A special thank you to all who have supported our small family ranch this year. It means so much! 🥰🎄

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

We have a nice, colorful bunch of calves that we will be offering up for sale soon- and we will be adding more to this weaning pen in the next week! We will have lots of heifers and a few select bulls. We have a nice variety of bloodlines and can make a nice starter herd for somebody!

Hey! You there! These little piggies are off to Tennessee! (Well, some of them- a red barrow, that cute red and black gilt, and the blondie in the second photo!) The smaller two were so easy to pen and load because they basically free-range around our ranch 🤷‍♀️ but big Blondie didn’t like the idea of being shuffled from her cozy home in the woods to the farmyard in an XL dog carrier with the skidsteer, and busted herself out the side, and caused me a knee-jerk reaction to raise my forks and try to block her back in my alley but instead I shattered my entire window, as I was driving with the door open. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Anyways, they are on their way and I can’t wait to see them at their new home!

This little poor-doer is doing well! He certainly is cute. I treated him for pneumonia a few days ago and he is so much stronger now! He is a favorite around the barn, even the kittens try pretty hard to get his attention.
