Winter Storm & Faux Meat
Winter storm chaos hits the ranch! Watch on AcresTV as we battle Mother Nature's fury with ice, snow, and those famous Kansas winds. You'll see our pre-storm prep and the extra steps we take to keep our cattle safe - plus an epic showdown with a frozen gate that'll have you laughing (or relating too hard 😅).
But that's not all - I'm breaking down the latest news about faux meat legislation that could change the game for grocery stores in 2025. It's a storm of a different kind brewing in the food industry!
What's your most memorable frozen gate battle? Share your winter ranching war stories below! ❄️🐄
Want to see who wins - me or the gate?

“THE COWS WON’T VISIT YOU IN THE NURSING HOME.”•Who is going to want to come back to the ranch and join the family business if they have been pushed away or deprioritized because of said ranch or livestock?•Are ranching legacy and agriculture important? Of course. Are they more important than family? Not on our ranch. •What say you?•••#ranchlife #ranchlegacy #farmlife #femalefarmer #familyfarm #familyranch #mindsetshifting
HUN, WE’RE GOOD ON COWS (FOR NOW)•When people ask how many cows we have, I always say “too many in January to feed” and that’s how I feel when my husband talks about expansion 🤪•Meanwhile, I think we need to save for expanding our land assets and also, can a gal get some new carpet or windows in the house?!•#ranchlife #myksfarmlife #farmlife #cowsofig #cowsofinsta #couplescomedy #relationshipcomics #marriagegoal

I know Thanksgiving was 4 days ago but I am so thankful for my family, friends and our freedom of faith. Due to some yucky stomach bugs, our Thanksgiving was spent at home on a much smaller setting. Here is how I spent it before chowing down on tri-tip steak for supper! My husband broke his leg in three places two weeks ago so I’ve been taking his place with chores, sorting and hauling cattle, vaccinating and prepping cattle for embryo transfer. Suffice it to say, I am *exhausted*. Hope you’ve had a relaxing weekend spent in a way that brings you joy.
Sadly, seems like a whole bunch of people have stopped believing in the very science and technology and PEOPLE that have helped us reach the level of productivity and safety we have in our U.S. food supply. •I can’t think of any caption that explains what I mean better than what’s already in the reel. Making America healthy should include discussions and input from America’s farmers and ranchers, not health gurus and extremists. •••#foodsecurity #foodsafetyfirst #believeinscience #trustinfood #sustainablefoodsystems #seedoils

How long have you waited for a tool on the ranch that let you roll out bales AND move them with spikes? •Wait no longer, the new DewEze 800/900 XRM bale bed is here! Spike bed, more storage, modified headache rack and more make it a game changer!•••#ranchlife #farmlife #deweze #dewezedreamjob #femalefarmer #heavyduty #heavymachines
Thankful for producers who put on these ropings!
I’ll never understand how people think that animals in nature, that have been around for thousands of years, are somehow responsible for more climate damage than our fossil-fuel driven lifestyles. As recently as 200 years ago, millions and millions of bison roamed our country - then they fenced in the prairies, the bison were nearly wiped out and highways and train tracks split across the land. Yet somehow, the rhetoric is that cattle are to blame for climate change and not the consumerism, millions of cars, flights and trains that are part of our everyday lives. Don’t even get me started on how quick we cycle though technology and the newest “it” thing these days. .Is this me calling for the end of transportation? Absolutely not. I just don’t think we should focus all of our climate change efforts on a segment of the chain that, according to the @epagov, is responsible for less than 3% of GHG while transportation is responsible for nearly 1/3! In 1920, there were 7 million cars in the U.S. today there are 269 million! Don’t tell me that doesn’t make a significant difference!.Will farmers and ranchers continually work towards improvement and emissions reduction? Absolutely. But we also shouldn’t be ignoring such a huge GHG offender..What do you think?
