Why we started this ranch
Four cattlemen, one shared logbook
We kept scribbling the same notes to each other after every morning check on the herd, and eventually admitted it was becoming a record worth keeping. What started as scraps pinned to the barn door turned into pages about calves, hay cuttings, and the slow work of raising cattle. The first issue went out to eleven neighbors down the road.
How each entry gets written
Pasture first, written second
Every entry starts out in the pasture, not at a desk, and gets checked by someone who has actually worked that ground. If a claim about the herd, the feed, or the cattle can't hold up after a second look at the barn, it doesn't make it into print. We'd rather cut a line than print something that isn't true to the farm.
