Irish Oaks Ranch

Love getting messages from our customers. I have to admit, those look LEGIT! #goodeats #beef

Helping the neighbors harvest. The property next door grows some of the finest Syrah Noir wine grapes. The kids got to jump the fence and help pick the grapes. 5 acres of vines equals a lot of grapes! #farmlife #farmkids @pasorobleswineries

Silly dog. When it’s hot, Pip will try to plunge herself in water to cool off. She actually mostly fit in this bucket!

The making of a cow dog... - Today we met with a trainer to get Pip assessed. We are excited to see that she has plenty of drive, but can easily turn it off! - Over the next two weeks, we will encourage her drive by working her in our goats. She will then do 30 days with the trainer so she can further develop her commands. ... #cowdog #herdingdog #smallfarm See more

Hmmm... Hard decision. We’ve been offered the opportunity to get this little guy and train him up as a herding dog. - Let me know what you think! Yes? No? He’s 3/4 border collie, the rest mcnab and catahoula. #cowdog #herdingdog #beef

Our beautiful little heifer calf turned a year old a few days ago. In a couple months she’ll be pregnant!

Happy heifers unloading.

Beautiful morning looking at some of the best Angus heifers. - Good beef starts with good genetics. We actively search for the best genetics to meet the needs of our program. We choose Angus cattle like these because they grow and finish well on our California grass. #beef #angus #anguscattle

Warrior Kids... this is what we are raising. Hard working, smart, compassionate, Warrior Kids. - It’s not hard to be proud of these three. But their success isn’t solely in our hands. As they say, It takes a village. - We are fortunate to have been surrounded by so many good people. So those of you in our village, thank you for helping us raise these wonderful kids!... - @wayofthewarriorkid @thepitnorth @thepitmartialarts @castlewilliamsmma @jockowillink See more

Bringing in the last of the range cattle. We’ve been chasing grass this drought year, so the time has finally come to bring the cattle home. They will be fed forage hay until spring. - Hats off to Melissa for all the hard gathering on foot! At least she has her trusted cow dog Pip with her. I’m pretty sure she’ll get tired of this one day and I’ll come home to find a horse in the pasture. - #farmlife #beef
