- 9 hours ago by megraeb When we evacuated from the fire last fall I threw all my jewelry into a bag and ran. This is the result. I’m still untangling necklaces. All my favorites. #cherokeefire #sucks
- 5 days ago by megraeb Everyone was so shocked I caught her on my first try, we just stopped and said ‘wow’. This pretty much never happens when I rope. #worstroper #dontwatch #realcattleranching
- 6 days ago by megraeb I’m so glad I know this kid, he’s amazing. We’ve been working over the past few years on building him a little cow herd. He raises our bottle calves into cows. By the time he’s old enough for 4-H he’s going to have his own show string completely raised on his own. Probably have enough money from it for college or trade school. I’m impressed by him, his work ethic and responsibility, every time I talk to him. I’m honored to know him. #futurerancher #IDontWorkThatHard #futureisbright

- 6 days ago by megraeb My Uncle get colostrum from a local dairy. It is essential to the health of the calf to have this within the first day of life. #bottlecalf #transparent #realcattleranching
- 6 days ago by megraeb I just helped my Dad perform an emergency c section on the broken shoulder cow. The calf lived. It’s a little heifer. I’m thawing colostrum for her, I put triadine on her naval. Our 6 year old neighbor will be tasked with her care after today. He is starting his own 4-H herd for when he’s old enough, I believe this is his 6th animal. #circleoflife #IHaveAllTheFluidsOnMe #SadButHappy
- 7 days ago by megraeb I’m having a little problem with bugs in my yarden, I was going to spray, but I’d probably end up messing with my good bugs. So enjoy the flowers bees. #yarden #stillgrowingalot #sunflower
- 1 week ago by megraeb Boo has trained herself to point. She must have picked up on the fact I have been looking at all the new babies. So now when she thinks I’ve missed seeing a baby she jumps out of the Polaris, runs to the calf and points until I see it. She’s an incredible dog, this one. #cowdog #kelpie #bestfriend
- 1 week ago by megraeb I was kinda hesitant to talk about this, but one of my big talking points is transparency and since @jeniferfl3ming brought it up on my last post, I need to. This second calf heifer, has a broken shoulder. We don’t know how it happened, she’s also about a week away from giving birth. She needs to be euthanized because this is not something we can fix. Since the birth of her calf is so close, we wanted to wait and at least try to save the calf. We’ve left her alone, given her access to water and hay. Of course
