Baby laughs, First flowers and Muddy boots

Spring is just around the corner and the changing season is evident all around Red Star Ranch...

The youngest rancher laughed for the first time this past week.  Baby giggles are just the thing to bring sunshine to rainy March days.  Warmer days and rain have made the perfect consistency of mud to stomp in, ride bikes through, and slog through while sorting cattle.  Happy boys and grumpy dads!

I saw our first flower last week and each day brings another flush of green - unfortunately most of these are weeds!  The cold frame is full of new plant starts and the men are starting to count down the days to planting.  Our first calves are playing in the pasture and new chicks will soon be scratching in the garden!
