    A Day at Heifer Ranch

    Today I took my new boss to Heifer's Ranch. It's only about 45 minutes away from our Headquarters building downtown.
    I was a little worried about the weather, it was raining when I left for work. I knew it wouldn't be to much fun to be on an outdoor 'adventure' on a yucky rainy cold day.

    By the time we headed out, 9am, the rain had stopped but it was gloomy downtown. As we drove the clouds were moving pretty quickly - back toward town! Yeah! The sun started poking its head out about 10 miles from the Ranch.
    How wonderful!
    By the time we arrived the sun was shinning and the temperature was getting warmer. The wind was still blowing with pretty strong gusts.

    Most of the animals were up for the winter.
    The sheep were out in the outer pastures, as were most of the cattle.
    Somehow today I got away without a picture of Briggs & Stratton... my favorite Water Buffalo! So here's a picture from this summer.

    Here's another of the large draft animals we have on the ranch, these are definitely workers and not pets!

    Work! hehe!! Sure it is!  I had to participate in my boss' Employee Orientation!

    Those Water Buffalo are about 2x the size of a working WB!  They are just over 20 yrs old, half brothers - and haven't had to work, other than giving a kid a ride or other such adventure now and then.  LOL  

    LOL Thanks for the song J!

    Briggs & Stratton!  I love that!  

    Yeehaw! Here's a little song for ya, Cowgirl!  

    "Oh, life on the farm is kinda laid back!
    Ain't nothing that a country Critter like me can't hack.
    Early to rise, early in the sack!
    Thank God I'm a country Critter!"
