by Texas Homesteader Panic sat in when RancherMan came rushing into the house saying he found the pasture gate open and the two weaning heifers were missing.

by Texas Homesteader You know, last year was a hard one for us as I was diagnosed with breast cancer – those frightening words no woman wants to hear. RancherMan encouraged me to start a blog.
