Let’s talk creepy crawlies today on Ranch Raised!

America’s Hot Barn Report hosted by NAFB Award Winning Monte James brings the latest in cattle market news, interviews with industry leaders and price discovery from prolific sale barns across the USA!

When I made my Ranch Raised pregnancy announcement a few weeks back, I referenced that I had moved back in to the fall calving herd. If you remember back to this summer, I shared that we had to make the hard decision, because of the drought, to sell our fall calving herd. So our usual days of finding fall born baby calves in the tall grass is just a memory this year.

I love weekends like the one we just had here at the Jones Ranch! The weather was mild and beautiful. We didn’t have much going on away from the ranch, so I was able to focus on what needed done in my kitchen and garden. One of my favorite things about fall is the harvesting of the bounty!

Let me open by reading a statement from Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-PA). “Without a robust rural America, people in the city are going to wake up hungry, and the more I learn about cotton, they’re going to wake up naked too.” I like that quote. We don’t want the consuming public to forget the essential value of the farmers, ranchers, and whole ag industry.

I love supporting American agriculture and that is just what Fun, Fact Friday is all about right here on Ranch Raised! It is pear season in the US! Many old homesteads are still dotted with the occasional pear tree or orchard.

All signs point to current and tightening supplies of fed cattle!

I have been doing a lot of thinking about this subject after I listened to a recent podcast on the Old Fashion On Purpose channel. We have become a nation that decades ago started abandoning the principle that the home was a place of production and instead morphed into this place of consumption.

As I left off yesterday telling you about my productive canning weekend, I also left you with a teaser. I am not an avid podcast listener. I want to be because there are so many great ones out there that appeal to me, but I always forget to put podcasts on in the car or when I’m folding laundry. But this weekend. I thought “why not fill the kitchen with some background noise while canning?!?”
