Red Bank Recap- 12.22.23

We are in the home stretch before Christmas! I feel like I thought I had a ton of time, and then looked up some time last week and realized I was less than two weeks out. Then the rush ensued!

Red Bank Recap- 12.15.23

It’s been a busier than usual and fun week around here! Steven has been on inpatient call this week, but we’ve still packed in plenty of holiday and regular activities.

When we first started researching Angus cattle, we learned that one of the largest Angus seedstock producers was about 30 minutes from us at the time. We spent many a weeknight or random weekend afternoon driving the 30 minutes to Cameron to 44 Farms to check out their immaculate grounds and the bulls in their…… Continue reading A Load of Bull

Red Bank Creek Ranch

On my last post in February, we had about six weeks left of pregnancy with Henry, Olivia had just turned two, and I said we had something big in the works that I was almost ready…… Continue reading Red Bank Creek Ranch
