With the snow getting deeper and a little time on our hands, we decided today was a good day to put the team to work. We’ll used them through the late winter and into spring.

Even better, working with the gentle giants is something we all enjoy here on the ranch.

Now I’m realizing I’m the “old guy” and I’m running out of time to put into these young people what I love and know. I think that’s what Lloyd knew too.
