Good morning from Montana! How do you like to spend your mornings? Well, here on Elk Ridge, I don’t always choose to spend my mornings on the tailgate in subzero temperatures walking the boys but when I do, I make sure to parade them down Main Street. We love having the elk come in and enjoy watching them but when the temperatures start dipping down below zero they get relentless and cause havoc on the property. At -30° they get chilled and with 3 feet of snow it’s hard to find a meal, so they are always sneaking in the pasture, and our boys always allow the elk to eat with them instead of chasing them off. However, when they get spooked, they are not always so graceful and break through the fences. So of course the boys follow. It may be tough this time of year on people and animals, but this is the life we choose to live, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. #montana #troublemaker #mendingfences #ranchlife #onedayatatime #january
