We had a tough week this week, we lost three of our special old mares
We had our last club calf on Monday, Kade’s cow Kissy had a heifer calf by Trump Train. Toni isn’t happy because I will want to keep it and we will have to argue about it… Anna has been loading up the left over silage from weaning the calves and hauling it out to the heifers in the dump trailer. She is almost done with that, and next she will have to clean off the pad behind the feed bunk. She got some pictures of the yearlings heifers and miniature horses while she was out and about as well. Kade rode Joss through the water and opened the gate on Monday, since the sun was kind of out. Toni and Kade worked on Jetter, Shooter and Piney. Piney is the only one that got hooked to the June the donkey.
On Tuesday Fatniss, who is no longer fat since she is not a show heifer, calved. Our two new heifers from Blue Drifter showed up, Anna got a chance to talk to Gail and Eric for a bit. Kade worked on Joss some more before she heads to CA. Toni and Kade worked on Jetter, Shooter and Piney. Piney is the only one that got hooked to the June the donkey, for the 2nd day. He is actually really soft and supple he just doesn’t want his head touched so that annoyed Toni. Jetter was letting the first day so probably won’t get the donkey. Shooter doesn’t understand how he went from the favorite pet to actually having to do something. McCall came over and gave Toni and I Wilbur Ellis jackets for being customers. We are really proud of her and are thankful that we can support her and have her as our fieldperson/agronomist.
Anna got a bunch of calf pictures Wednesday when they checked. Her and Ben got some more stalks fenced off and the cows ran over, so Anna got lots of pics. Shooter got tied to June on Wednesday, all three foals lead great. It was a stunning sunset Wed so Toni took some pics o the foals with the sunset behind them.
More calves on Thursday, we have slowed down a lot but the cows that did not take to AI will start calving here soon. The weather is still holding, so hopefully we can get a lot more before it breaks. Kaine and Kade put corn cobs in the round pen, Anna and mom were going to do it, but Ben did not think they could I guess? But Kaine and Kade made it. However, they do not drive as good as me so they could not get in through the blue gate. Both big boys came home from school early due an assembly and overall “boring” school day with it being the end of the week near Christmas break. Kade went and grabbed Jag and went on a ride and rode Joss.
Anna and mom went to Othello on Friday, dad and Skip went to Pasco and visited Traci and the girls. Toni arranged the vet appointment for Joss and Santana to go to CA, they are headed to see Sheena Monday morning bright and early. Marlo helped Toni with chores Friday night and led the foals, to make sure they don’t have stranger danger, they did really good. We had a few new calves on Friday. Kade rode Joss. Joss has been a really fun horse for him to start his young horse breaking and selling side of things. We don’t necessarily want him to focus on that but we are fine with him doing a few per year. Joss had some challenges but is extremely smart, athletic, and able. We are excited to see what her next chapter is like.
Saturday was pretty rainy, and cold because you were wet. We checked in the morning and tagged calves. The Twins stopped by since McKenna is home for a few days from Kansas. Kade and Kaine tied up their steers. Then Kade and I went out to the desert to put out protein blocks, and Kade is going to ride Benelli since she is open. Ben loaded some grass straw onto the flatbed so then we put out hay. Ton’s godson Tate came out for a bit and rode around with her. We led the colts and Jetter around on a walk about, they all did great. Toni and I fixed the down poles (due to jerk face young studs) at the corral. I stayed with grandma.
On Sunday we finished tagging the calves. Baby cow, Kades show heifer, calved, so Toni called the shipper who hauled her for us and named her Baby Cow, and now she is mama cow. LOL Ben and Kaine took Kaine’s pickup to Raymond the mechanic. Kade rode Benelli around, and Jag. Toni, Kade and I practiced loading Joss and Sanatana since they were going to get their travel papers Monday morning early. Kade and I took the colts around back to put with the other colts and Toni led Jetter around. Then we got in Kenna, Blondie and Smarty to halter break next.
We had a tough week this week, we lost three of our special old mares, Rudy, who was a 1999 mare, Cleo, also a 1999 mare, and Comet who was only a 2000. Love is never a burden and those old mares gave us everything they had. Cleo and Comet have been with us since birth and we raised their mother. We are thankful for the time we did have with them all and thankful to Tina for having the faith in us to let us have Rudy for the years we had her. All left their mark at KT Ranch.

Well we aren’t dashing through the snow, but we are dashing through December.
Monday was another hectic day. Kaine’s football banquet was Monday night, Jaxsen had a basketball game. We had some people out to look at foals. Dad had a dr appointment. Cows calving, Ben tagging calves, you know, a usual Monday. Kaine was co defensive player of the year with his friend Tucker. We got a picture of all the Jr boys, there is a big group of them. Kade and Toni moved the weanling colts around back, got three more in the halter breaking pen, and fixed two down poles in between the studs in the dark. It doesn’t sound like much, but moving the colts was a job on its own. They had to get all the weanlings in, sort the fillies back out, then move the colts. I hear it went really well. Sarge decided he couldn’t go with the other colts so he got walked back to the pen after all the rest. The colts went to the back of Mom and Dad’s in between the old mare pen and the corral, so the colts had to walk around the house, passed a bunch of stuff and they all did great.
Tuesday was foggy, but not as cold. We had our first clubby calf, out of a Red Angus cross cow we got from Mike Corrales and by Trump Train. Ben went and got some little straw bales, a friend said we could pick through their bottom bales before they discard of them, there were only a dozen or so that were still good. Toni and Kade tied the foals up to the donkeys, the donkeys had had a few weeks off due to mud, and I guess they thought they were done for the year, they were not the best. The colts in this week are Fire, who is really big and our oldest foal, City, and Gold Buckle Dreams. Yes, we call him by his full name. Gold Buckle Dreams took about 5 seconds and was done. City wasn’t impressed and didn’t do as well. Fire is big, broke a halter and a lead rope, will definitely need more time on the donkey. Kade also started riding Joss again. He just hasn’t had time to ride her, but with her trip to CA coming soon, he needed to make time. She did really well. After chores Kaine went in and watched the girls basketball game.
We had a few more calves on Wednesday. Gold was only the donkey for one day, City two days and Fire three. The final count was that Fire broke 2 halters and 4 lead ropes. Kade led Gold Buckle Dreams on Wed, City they were able to lead after being on the donkey for Wed. Kade rode Joss again on Wed. Kade helped dad get his big star up for Christmas. It is lighted and can be seen from the road. Kaine opened his birthday present from us since I was staying with grandma on Thursday. Toni went home to meetings and I got a text about 8 pm that she found some horse she wanted to buy.
Happy Happy birthday Kaine, you are the big 1 7. Anna and Lane came home from U of I on Thursday afternoon. They finished their finals and are on Christmas break. Kade rode Joss around out in the driveway and in the mud. Fire had his last day on the donkey and Toni could lead him a bit by the end. Toni and Kade worked on the other two colts, leading them around the corral. Once City got it, he got it, no dinking around. When we talk about leading them, we also tie them for short periods of time. When the week is done, they have been led around and tied all week. I stayed with grandma. And she was a horrible sleeper. Jaxsen got taken to the dr and has pneumonia, which is allegedly going around- the bacterial kind.
On Friday Toni had a hearing, I had a Family Farm call, so Anna went down and showed Suzanne and Mike the horses. I got down there when my call was over, so Anna and Lane went back to cleaning the alley and putting down corn cobs. Suzanne and Mike had lots of choices, so went home with a long list. Toni went and grabbed straw from my house the little bales Ben had picked up, then Toni came down and Marlo, Toni, Kade and I did the horse chores, per the norm. We also put out straw to try to soak up the mud. The straw doesn’t do as well as corn cobs but the straw makes better bedding for the foals We also moved Belle into her pen, where she will stay until she foals this next spring. Kaine went and did the cattle chores.
More calves on Saturday, we got them tagged. Toni showed the boys the colts again on Saturday and they took Shiney Guy home with them. Toni got some pictures for Suzanne and Mike, who are still trying to make a decision on which horse to go with. While out in the pasture, Absolute broke Toni’s pu mirror and took a big chunk out of her pu seat, so she is not happy with that horse. Toni and I got some pics of Fire, City and Gold with our cell phones and took them for a walk about. We also got a bunch of pictures of the fillies. Saturday was a beautiful day. You couldn’t ask for a better Dec day. Kade rode Joss. Anna and I got some pictures of the new calves.
On Sunday we had Kaine’s birthday party, Erina and Terry came down. We had meatballs and Dutch Oven potatoes. Mom made trifle and we had pie. Lots of good food and good times. The overarching theme for Kaine’s bday presents was stuff for his pu. I guess when you turn 17 and are a boy, your pu is your main priority. Kaine and Anna also got to open their Christmas presents from Grandma Sherri. While we had the bday party, a big bald eagle landed in the tree outside of my house, so that was cool. Then we worked on the horses, took the three colts around to the colt pen and got the last two colts in to halter break and Jet. Kade brought his welder down and welded up a joint area on the continuous fence. Both Kaine and Kade are pretty good welders. Thanks to the FFA program at Connell that teaches welding and other really useful life skills. We weaned Santana so he can also get ready to move to CA. Joss and Santana are moving together at the end of the month. They are going to a family we have known for many years that was one of the first families we met in the AQHA Youth program, so that is really cool.
Well we aren’t dashing through the snow, but we are dashing through December. We do have a couple of December specials right now on foals, so if you are wanting a really good deal on a nice weanling, let us know. The Fire colt is big, gritty, smart, and just needs a bit more one on one that we are giving him, so is priced, to the right home, for $2500.00 for December. Peaches is also priced at $2500.00 but we have someone coming to look at her at the end of the month. However, if you want to talk about either of them, let us know. Again, the right home is a must. The countdown to Christmas is upon us! The best gift has four legs and comes in lots of colors.

December always reminds me of the Coat of Many Colors by Dolly Parton.
Monday was Jaxsen’s first basketball game since Hawaii, he had to get enough practices in to play. Toni said he was in the top three in scoring and they won by one point. Great job. Ben is home until 2025, he cleaned up some around the place, hauled some of the silage out to the yearling heifers, filled up the garbage cans, etc. Toni said of the three foals, one was really easy, one was medium, one is giant so you cannot pull him around so he went on the donkey. The donkeys were being a hole and she could only catch one donkey, so I guess it is good she only needed one donkey. Mom, dad and Skip took Susie to Moses Lake to get her hair clipped, and went out to lunch and got groceries.
At work on Tuesday it was foggy, but Ben sent me some snaps of the calves, and it looks sunny at home. It was dark when I left, but was not foggy when I left or when I got to work. Grumpy, Kade’s show heifer from a few years ago calved. She still looks Grumpy. Toni texted me a pony saddle bundle from Teskeys- we don’t have any children that ride ponies so not sure what she is wanting. I think she wants to adopt a child. Not a baby, a child. Toni took Kaine, Kade and Jaxsen to the steer of merit program on Tuesday night. It was clear over in Richland, and started during Hanford rush hour. It is great the program is back on, but it would be nice if it were in Connell, since it is only for the Connell Show. Benton Franklin Fair is refusing to participate. A steer we raised made the criteria and a steer we found for a kid was in the top end. ALL kids get money for going so totally worth it. Prior to leaving Toni worked on the three foals, Sarge was put on the donkey again. He is just super big. Peaches and Buzzy both were able to be led around on day 2. Peaches is soft enough she leads really well. Lots of flex, softness, but also lots of attitude. Buzzy is just a solid super sweet colt.
Ben and dad took a load of heifers to Moses Lake sale yard, we had a lot more heifers than bulls this year so we picked a handful to take in when we bangs vaccinated. Toni helped Ben load and the wild b about knocked Ben down but loaded fine the second round. She didn’t video it because the mud was deep and she was wondering if she was going to have to run in to help him up. Luckily he was holding on to the gate so did some gymnastics but didn’t go down. All the other heifers are decently docile. They sold really well and we are thankful to our buyer. He had been out to the place and viewed the heifers prior to the sale. Then they went into Moses Lake and bought a panel and water trough for the pen we are making for Bell. Also a pallet of tubs for the broodmares. Double N Ranch Supply had everything ready for them. Then went to get Dad his gun safe he had bought. So a very productive trip. Wednesday morning I went to Spokane early to spend the rest of the work week there for a water conference. The calving is really picking up, with the AI cows starting to calve. We are getting a couple each day right now. Toni tied the three foals up, they all did great.
I think Toni said Jaxsen had basketball games Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, so Thursday was his last one of the week. He has been playing great. He is very tall, lots of rebounds, assists, and shots taken. Toni took the three foals out for a walk about on Thursday. She is done using May the donkey so May went back out. Even though Sarge is huge, he is good minded. And he likes Toni so leads really well now that he knows what is expected. All three tie, lead, and are getting exposed to stuff. Specifically dogs. Toni went and stayed with Grandma Thursday night.
On Friday I came home from Spokane around noon. I went out with Ben to tag the calves, Friday the AI cows really started calving and we had 8 calves on Friday. We had to get 530 and 639 in, 530 did not want her bull calf, she wanted 639’s heifer calf. Marlo came to help do chores. It was good for the foals to be exposed to a new person. It didn’t go as well as Toni thought it would. Stranger danger. We got some pics of Sarge and Peaches. Marlo took Buzzy around. Then we put in the panel Dad and Ben got to finish up the Bell pen. Now we just need straw and to move Bell into the pen. We have all the stand alone panels up and have reconfigured that pen. It is really nice and looks good.
Toni went to Colville for the Steven’s County cattlemen’s annual meeting on Saturday, so she left mid-morning. She took Reno (the puppy) up with her to give to Jeff. We had been keeping Reno for Jeff until someone could meet him with her. Toni had a good turnout and spoke for hours on the challenges facing Ag. Then she went to dinner with a family friend and stayed up in Colville due to road conditions. We had 9 calves Saturday, so we kept tagging, we finished the fence on the far side of the New Valley, so we called the cows to the fresh stalks. Kade and I did chores, Kaine was snowmobiling, Anna stayed at U of I for the weekend to study for finals and Jaxsen was sick.
Our 2nd Youth foal left Sunday morning, Skippy went to Rowan, and Skippy is now Scout, because she actually already had a Skip with similar breeding. Kind of funny. Mom thought that was pretty slim odds. Then back to calving, tagging and trying to keep all of the cows with the right calves. We almost got mom’s Hereford Princess in, her water bag broke and 30 min later we were setting gates to get her in and she calved. Kade tied up his Spokane steer. Kaine got home, and we loaded up big bales to take down to mom and dads. Kaine and Kade put out big bales. Toni and I started getting cockle burs out of the yearlings, then Kade helped us finish when we got done. We started moving horses around because we need to split the weaning colts from the fillies. Big bales went out, yearlings went out into the big pasture, Joss was moved into her own pen, and Copper got put in with Mirage. Lots of changes! It was fully dark by the time we got all that done so we didn’t get new foals in. That will have to wait a day. And we didn’t get the colts moved. But lots of progress.
December always reminds me of the Coat of Many Colors by Dolly Parton. Our mom made many of our clothes growing up, but that made us feel special. Mom actually made a coat for herself using patches cut out of old jeans that were worn out and she still has that coat. December is always a month that brings wonderful family filled memories and stories. On the horse side of things, we have coats of many colors- we have foals in almost every color. The pens of foals are stunningly beautiful with all of the pretty babies. Lots of options to fill that request for anyone that wants a foal under the tree! Come see us to really make someone happy with their gift.

Another week of darkness behind us. The lack of light makes a person reckless because you still have 12 hours of work to do in not 12 hours of light. The key is not to die trying to work with livestock in the dark.
Monday was another rainy muddy day. Toni and Anna got the new halter breaking group in and took pics of Whitty and Cowy. Whitty and Cowy were supposed to get turned out with the other foals, but they decided to turn them in with the “special” foals. The “special” foals are just the 4 that got weaned first, so not really special as much as just weaned the longest so in their own pen. “7” calved on Monday and had twin bull calves. Last year she had twin heifers. Anna and the dogs checked the cows and grabbed one of the calves. Both calves are small, but have vigor. Kaine and Kade’s Spokane steers also got out through the feed panel, one of the bars broke off, and they went for a walk about so Anna got them back in. Anna told people that Kaine’s steer is wild, but Kaine doesn’t agree. Lets hope Kaine is right. Ben went and got our free standing panels when he got off of work from LDs. LD put hinges on a couple for our gates so we know have some free standing panels with swinging gates off of the one side. We are pretty excited and LD did a fantastic job. If anyone wants any of those big panels, LD and Gwen are getting another load to sell in the spring and have the panels priced competitively.
Tuesday we saw the sun for part of the day. Anna went out into circle 4 and finished pulling out T posts from the old fence we used to have in the middle. Toni worked on Sugar Cookie, Radiant Rifle and Alme and she said they were all awesome. We were a bit nervous about Rad and Alme. Rad is really big, a typical Gunner foal, and was out in the desert so has had less exposure than some, but she was solid. Alme has been our spoiled boy, but was also super solid. That is good news since it is still so muddy we are hesitant to use the donkeys. Toni could lead all three the first day, and Alme and Sugar Cookie started leading like they knew what they were doing within a couple of minutes. Sugar Cookie is our AI baby sired by The Goodbye Blues.
I was home on Wednesday so Anna, Ben and I checked cows. Mom, Anna and I ran to Othello and got a few things, including a shelf for the freezer for Ben to organize the freezer. Toni and I tried out the new dump and put a bale of straw in the round pen, in with Copper and the “special” foals. We took Radiant Rifle, Sugar Cookie and Alme for a walk about. I just led Alme, so Toni made fun of me that she had to do the other two. Yes, because all three were just so hard, that was my sarcastic voice. Because of all the rain we had a puddle that still had quite a bit of water in it so we were leading the foals through the water, standing them in the water, just getting them exposed to anything we could out in the driveway. When we are doing chores there are lots of things to be exposed to- dogs, lots of dogs, Reno the puppy that is already a cow dog, the boys on the 4-Wheeler, loud talking, more dogs. All three of the foals took everything in stride, they were just like whatever. Sugar Cookie didn’t like walking in the water, but Toni worked on her and got her to have some trust, moving freely in the water.
Happy Thanksgiving, Vixen gave Kade a cute clubby x heifer on Thanksgiving, and 139 also calved and had a bull. Terry and Erina came down and we all went to Tonis. We had a great Thanksgiving with friends, family, good food, and laughs. We all ate too much and were thankful for the blessings in our lives. We were missing one of the kids, but otherwise we had a full house. After our big dinner, we managed to go do chores. We took the foals out to walk through mud muddles. Kaine brought Reno down to do chores, and she was very helpful with the foals, still my sarcastic voice. These foals have really been a joy to work with. They tie great, easy to catch, and have just been about perfect.
We had someone out to look at bulls on Friday, so we got them in and sorted them. Just to jump ahead, we also did that Saturday and Sunday, it is good having people come out. We sold three bulls in three days to three repeat buyers. We checked cows tagging calves. Ben and I hauled corn cobs around with the dump trailer to muddy areas. Kaine welded on a gate. Anna cleaned out the barn. Kaine and I hauled corn cobs down to mom and dads Marlo, Kaine and I spread them out. Marlo and I led the three foals through them and they did great. The corn cobs are kind of weird to walk on if you aren’t used to them, they are spongy so they sink down, but they can also roll out from under you, so again, interesting. The corn cobs do help soak up the water and mud, so make the corral a much safer environment overall with all the excess moisture we have been getting. The foals liked Marlo and exhibited no stranger danger at all.
On Saturday we tagged the calves in the heavy heifer pen, including Ben’s No Horn. No Horn is out of a Longhorn cow and an Angus bull which equals no horns. I also like to say that is a waste, but at least he now has one longhorn that has calved so not just a money pit. Kaine and I hauled Boon and Reina to mom and dads, the heavy heifers went into their pen and they did not need that much hay. Boon is already getting really fat and sassy, so going to mom’s is a better spot for them both.
On Sunday we started putting out the freestanding panels we bought from LD Green. We put one with a gate in Sagebug’s pen, one is Hauls pen, and put some straw in both pens. Ben claims Sagebug as “his” stud because Sagebug is so good to deal with and can be left with the bulls all winter. Then we loaded some straw hay into the dump trailer and took the freestanding panels that go down to moms down to moms. Kaine, Ben, dad and I got them up. Toni got down there in time to help Katie and Chad load Sugar Cookie. She is going to go to Pullman for a while and see if she wants to be a barrel horse in a few years. Katie and Alvina have both Cash and Sugar Cookie now. So our barrel bred fillies that we want to keep and also want to see turn cans. We are excited to see how they do. We got some pictures of Ink for a person that had texted requesting new pics. We also got some video of Dancing Bug for a friend that is interested in her. Dancing Bug is a big filly with a big motor, but very smart. Then we haltered the next group, Peaches, Sarge and Buzzy. We dumped the bales out with the foals. It was fully dark by the time we got everything done.
