A new calf is born at the ranch, see pictures of the actual birth. WARNING; if you think the stork delivers these little ones - and want to continue believing that - this is NOT the blog post for you. If you want to see what really happens when a cow gives birth, read on.

Calving Season is in full swing here at the ranch. We've had three calves in two days and more are on the way. Calving season is really enjoyable because we get to see the new calves come into the world - they are so cute! Calving season is really stressful because the cows always seem to calve in the middle of the night and we don't get much sleep.

The Fall Harvest of Beef is finally here! We picked up the first of our delicious grass fed Angus beef yesterday and it looks great. We are really excited about the quality and know our customers will be very happy with the wonderful flavor and tenderness of our nutritious beef.  

Fall is harvest time here at the ranch. The Mobile Unit from our Farmer's Co-Op was here last week to complete our grass fed beef harvest for this year and the meat looks great!

It's been a long, dry end of summer in Western Washington, and that is also true for us here at the ranch. We've just seen the driest August /September on record. We are very thankful that our summer pastures run along the Skagit river and the underground aquifer keeps our pastures green and healthy even in this drought.

Our little grass fed beef store here at the ranch has been a success! We've met wonderful people from all over the world who have visited us - and our dogs - here in the beautiful North Cascades.

We are very excited to announce our Ranch Store is now open! With two weekends under our belt, things at the store are going very well. We've met some wonderful new customers and are proud to introduce them to our grass fed beef.

We have just returned from a great weekend at the Northwest Lowline Association Cattle Expo, held at the Idaho Lowline Cattle Company's beautiful ranch in Hayden, Idaho. It was a good time meeting new Lowline Cattle folks, attending workshops, networking and sharing information. 

The annual spring "round-up" is complete and the cattle have all been moved to our summer pastures where they graze on fresh, green grass in the warm sunshine.
