Jurassic Farm! Beware the tyrannosaurus cow!

As a dumb city girl, I set out to befriend all the cows living on our property. We rent our pasture to J Bar J Ranch while we build our own herd. The J Bar J herd is a docile bunch and I’ve enjoyed being around them and learning the ropes. But, they don’t want to be my friend. Instead, I’ve learned that they are loyal to faces they recognize, trucks that sound familiar, and a bucket full of range cubes!

For about 10 months out of the year, the cows we raise are grass-fed. We switch to hay in the cold months and sometimes we need to supplement with grain. Grain, I have learned, is their candy and if they think you have it, they’ll come running!
