Girl Team At Work

It has been quite a week for the "girl team" here on the Ranch. Just over a week ago our two new farm friends arrived to experience life on the farm..Sikora style. No strangers to farming, Laura and Camrin were clearly prepared for early mornings, hard work and a varied work schedule, evidently they were less prepared for the boisterous welcome offered by our four legged ranch family. Gentle giant Quest, our big Shire gelding is a little (lot) intimidating even for the average horsey farm guest, Chelsey the old grey mare that drools, Charm, the golden palomino (beauty with attitude personified) and ageing bay Mr. Cooper have all taught our two new friends a little about life on the farm. George the big Suffolk ram and his resident harem refused to be ignored whilst Anna and Angel our ewe lambs would sell their souls for a carrot. Docile Bella the golden Jersey cow, beautiful Maybelline Grace her calf and Kobe the black steer know where the cow cookies come from and needy little Luke (the "wanna be" farm dog is everyone's new best friend. It has been a week of firsts for our intrepid WWOOFERS, Camrin and Laura have driven the tractor, milked the cow, mucked out stalls, fenced, used the saw mill, groomed and took care of the horses and livestock, stacked wood, picked grapes,made wine, put cedar siding on the coop, harvested the garden produce and are currently assisting building a staircase in the barn. It has been a busy week.....thank you ladies for your unfailing good humor drive and determination. are you up for another week ? .....Take care, keep safe, M
