Two years ago and Iron Hive Meadery is still my go to. Love the Gold Rush Mead. If you haven't had it yet you should...absolutely amazing

Dinner at Three Vikings Food + Drink for the launch of a new product from Iron Hive Meadery I had a chance to meet the iron hive crew and sample some great products. Add a fantastic meal and it was a good way to end the day.

It's Round up day...

The second annual fall roundup and pregnancy checking day is here. Weather is crisp, the Chili is warming, the beverages (leaded and unleaded) are cooling and right on cue the cattle seem to be dispersing all over the pasture, just to make it interesting. Most of the riders will start showing up in the next few hours, roundup and sorting starts at 12 and pregnancy checking at 2:30.
If you are in the area feel free to stop in, everyone is welcome. (you might just get put to work on a gate or alleyway)

Join the superhero club this Christmas.

I’ve had a lot of requests for the Sky Hound Ranch hoodies so I’m bringing them back. If you would like to purchase one, I will be accepting pre-orders until 30 Nov 2024. This should ensure they are ready by Christmas.

As pictured, they are Maroon with a tan logo on the front. Cost is $50.00 (plus shipping if applicable). I’ve attached a sizing chart to help in selecting the correct size.

Life with an english teacher.

When you live with an english teacher who taught your daughters to be word nerds you have to be on your toes all the time. My youngest called me the other day after I posted about the upcoming ROUND up and Pregnancy checking on Nov 4th.
I was advised that my Bull Codiak has already taken care of the POUND up part of my event🫢.
So anyone who thought the event was going to be a filming for a National Geographic documentary on reproduction you will be disappointed. However for those who would like to be part of the 2nd annual ROUND up and Pregnancy checking, we are two weeks away.
Everyone is welcome, please let me know if you are coming so I can plan for numbers of people. This will be a family friendly event, NO X-***ED bovine exhibitions.
For those interested in the POUND up, that will be next June when we turn the bull out with the ladies😁🤠

It's time for the 2nd annual Fall round up and Herd Pregnancy checking. Mark your calendars, Monday Nov 4th 12PM- 5PM. If you are a rider and would like to come out to move and sort cattle (or learn how to), a neighbor or friend, or friend we haven't met yet this is a fun way to spend an afternoon.
This year the Staff from the Sangudo Vet clinic will be here to do the pregnancy checking. I ask riders to arrive to be ready to ride at 1:15PM. we will bring the herd in from the north pasture, into the branding pen then will sort out the cows for pregnancy checking, sorry there will be no gender reveal ;-)
Don't worry if you don't ride, this is as much a social event as it is a working event. You can watch or if you would like to get involved there is always help needed working gates, moving cows up the alleys, or operating the squeeze. Do you just want to watch and meet some neighbors, that is also welcome.
If you would like to attend please let me know how many people will be with you and if you plan on riding or not. There will be food, fun and beverages (unleaded and fully leaded).
I hope to see you here
