- 13 hours ago by megraeb Remember last summer? When my dad and I performed a c-section on a cow that had a broken shoulder? There was some drama because of course she was next to the road and she looked tough. It was a hard call because we knew if we let her live for another week, we’d have a viable calf. Well look at her calf now! We gave this calf to our neighbor kid to build his herd. She’s gonna make him a great mama cow! #MayPie #CollegeOrTradeSchoolTutition #transparent

- 1 day ago by megraeb Fun fact about the ranch: we have the oldest pool in Butte County. It’s made of concrete and above ground. Since we’ve had a rough few years out here we decided we’re gonna fix it up and enjoy it this summer. Because we need something nice to live for. #TwoFires #AFlood #SoMuchDrama
- 1 day ago by megraeb About a week ago I let the pigs out to graze. One didn’t come back. Bulleit’s daughter. I’d convinced myself she’d taken off to farrow and died, because I’ve been having bad pig luck here lately. She did take off to farrow, but she didn’t die! She only has two piglets but she’s not dead! #freerangepigshavedrawbacks #gonnabesuperfatpiglets #notdead
- 2 days ago by megraeb This might look like a mess of sleeping piglets, but in actuality it’s a highly complex and loud security system that will bite ankles and scream at the same time if anyone comes to my door. #SoSafe #BottlePigs #spoiled
- 3 days ago by megraeb I find cool ‘treasures’ on the ranch all the time. Today it was a bird house branch. It’d be a cool show and tell project for a kid. #nature #birdhouse #nest
- 3 days ago by megraeb It was a beautiful day on the ranch. It’s getting me really excited for spring. Did you hear it’s supposed to be a super bloom year for wildflowers? #ranchlife #NorthValley #SacramentoValley

Hi Meg, I just discovered your blog- and love it! My husband and I just bought a home on 80 acres. This was my husband’s dream to be able to raise cattle. He’s looking at retiring and will be able to raise cattle full. I’m a city girl who married the country boy! Looking forward to following you.
