Rafter 4 Ranch

Did I get everybody sorted in my dress??? Sometimes the combination of retail x ranching creates hilarious scenarios. I wouldn’t trade this life for anything

Dude just loves to eat what can I say.

Did you know?? Our mini calf poor little beans is loosing his voice this week as we wean him off the bottle. EVEN THOUGH he gets grain & grass all day long & still 1/2 a bottle morning&night he will not tolerate this. But he’s getting too chunky & eating fully on his own so it’s TIME baby boy.

My very own paradise on earth is right here on my families boutique ranch in western Michigan.

There’s nothing like coming home to these sweet kids sunbathing in the pasture

Watch out for those horns 🐮coffee & cows is more than just a saying on a t-shirt now.

Cool Beans is handsome & he knows it! This little guy is a herd sire in the making. We just got his DNA back & he’s got the makings to be the perfect sire. 50% of his calves will be polled, he has tons of hair, chondro positive, & something I wasn’t expecting… He carries one dilution copy & wild type which means that he can produce ANY color baby & essentially the rules of color genetics don’t apply to this cool little dude.

Puppy or Calf? Thinking Grass Puppy….
