Tyler's Graduation Project - Day 1

2/21/2017

0 Comments

 
Tyler isn't our usual Ranch conscript..um...I mean volunteer. Tyler is graduating High School and has asked Greg to share 40 hours of "on the job" ranch life for his graduation project. Tyler's first 5 hours found him learning the basic essentials of how to operate and use a chain saw...oh, and how NOT to use a chain saw (if you really don't want to amputate anything you value) He learnt how to drive the big green farm tractor without knocking the barn down, how not to kill himself on the 4 wheeler and how much he enjoys homemade chocolate chip cookies and Otter Pops. As the sun set over the ranch, our young apprentice graduate helped us bring the livestock and horses in from the pastures, he removed rugs and learnt how to brush and pick the hooves of our equine residents. Ike and Mike the vociferous twin lambs had to be bottle fed and Mrs.Peaches the Jersey cow (with an intimidating set of horns) and her young calf needed to be rounded up and returned to their shelter for the night. Tyler, whilst understandably less than enraptured by the barnyard smells (which are second nature to us) was enthusiastic to share barn yard chores, to love up the dogs, cuddle the cats, bottle feed the lambs and talk to the horses. Looking forward to another 35 hours Tyler ! 
 Good night and God Bless from the ranch. Take care, keep safe. M
