Is there anything cuter than a bottle calf? This is our newest registered longhorn baby. He was our firecracker, born right before the 4th of July. Last weekend we noticed his mama dried up and he was having a hard time so we took him in and is now our newest bottle baby. Thankfully he […]

Doc Holliday

My girl lost her best friend today. I’ve been through the loss of a lot of horses in my lifetime but this one was tough. When it’s your kid you just wish you could take it for them. I believe God has a special place for them all. Thank you for taking care of Paisley […]

Hounddog

Sharing a view that is not of the hayfield but of a couple new calves on the Rafter PS and our young bull, Johnny Ringo. We welcomed our first registered heifer in February, almost a Valentine, and a little bull right before the fourth of July. We call him firecracker. My husband and I raise Registered […]

Hayfield Wife Hacks

Summer is for hay. When Dad is out in the field, we try to have some fun when we visit and take a meal. I love that the girls get to experience this life and see that every part of farming and ranching is important. On this particular day, he just finished up with a […]

Haykid Summer

Mulberry……as you know, I love my Longhorns. It’s not my family’s first choice of cattle or what the Rafter PS Ranch has the majority of. My herd is small, but growing. I hope one day to have several and need another piece of land to raise them all. I love what they embody, their hardiness, and let’s […]

Texas Longhorn Education | Part 1

We spent the weekend helping my parents fix up the old barn at the cattle lots on the ranch. This beauty is old but I love the character and the stories it could tell. The horse stalls at the other barn just aren’t functional and quite a ways from where the arena will be. This […]
