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?

Growing up, I didn’t realize how much the quality of the equipment you used on a ranch mattered. I grew up on a hobby ranch and we didn’t have equipment like bale bed trucks.•Now that I’m older and fully entrenched in ranch life, I can tell you confidently that quality and usable features makes such a big difference!!•Such as a spike bed on our @deweze_mfg bed. I cannot believe this feature put a huge grin on my face but it for sure did. •Which of these features would be most valuable to your operation?•••#ranchlife #farmlife #ranchher #farmher #femalefarmer #heavyequipment #deweze #dewezedreamjob #worktrucks #flatbedmafia
Almost a daily occurrence to step in a pie. •Drop a 💩 if this is your norm too! 😂🤪•••#farmlife #ranchlife #femalefarmer #cows #ohpoop #cowsofinsta #dayinthedirt
It’s not often that we have to drive the feed truck long distances but when we do, woooooeee my patience is tested!•I LOVE the DewEze bed we have on this truck but the truck itself makes me say “wooosa” (bonus points if you get that reference!). •I know it’s a #firstworldproblem but surely I’m not the only one who has a feed truck with quirks?!•••#ranchlife #ranchtruck #farmtrucks #heavymachines #deweze #dewezedreamjob #femalefarmer
