HDQTS (guest house)

When the weather is cold and the evenings are long Blake has been patching nail holes, removing wall paper and repainting the guest house at ranch headquarters.  The living/dining great room, upper level bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen area have been completed with carpet installation in the master bedroom.  A western and wildlife motiff  using prints and origional art work  that the Wohlers family has collected over many years adds to the relaxing atmosphere you can enjoy on your visit.  COME VISIT SOON !

Unloading hay for cows

Hay was delivered to the ranch today so there will be feed for the cows when the snow is too deep for them to find grass to eat.  So far this winter there has not been that much snow-but just in case.  These bales weigh about 1600 pounds.  A cow will eat 20-25 pounds of feed each day.  Hay and grass contain the energy that a cow needs to stay warm in the winter.  Fortunately the past few days have been mild so the cows are doing well and using the energy to get fat instead of needing it to stay warm.
