Little Orange Mangy cat is probably my favorite out here. Its probably 1-2 years old but still tiny, loves to get pets and will actively seek them out.

Here she is coming to help water the greens yesterday.

Testing to see if this uploads in better quality

I hope you guyz are happy that you shamed me into paying $1 a month to join tapatalk premium so that my cat ranch pictures are of better quality.

hmm I do not have premium but it is worth it for the improved cat farm quality

ben ji · « **Reply #2729 on:** April 27, 2020, 12:56:16 PM »

Since I went ahead and splurged on premium I might as well dump a bunch of farm pics from the last month I've been out here.

EDIT- They all came out looking like crap, maybe I can only upload 1 picture at a time for good quality?

Test

ben ji · « **Reply #2731 on:** April 27, 2020, 01:05:09 PM »

Yup, looks like 1 at a time is the key to success.

Lets try 2 at a time!

Yes, I believe they came as a pair from some city person who didn't want them so my cousin dropped them off at the cat ranch.

Working on removing all the weeds and dead tree's/limbs in the windbreak. The currant patch was overgrown with weeds all the way back to the trees along the road.

Current plan we are working on is to knock down all the weeds into a giant pile, remove dead limbs/trees, mow up all the dead weeds then throw down some grass and wildflower seeds on the bare dirt.

Maybe it will work? Either way my arms are getting swole AF.

Waiting on the spring rains. It rained enough in Mid March that there was standing water in ruts when I got here but nothing of significance since, just a couple of quick 5-10 min of light rain.

Luckily I can pump out some 1,000 year old Ogallala water to water a wildflower patch I planted in the windbreak.

And yes, that is an extension cord running from a building to power one of the 18 harbor freight electric chainsaws my dad bought. (It was unplugged during the watering session)

i hope the cats are getting enough milk to make it through the dehydrating weather.

A quick check of the garage fridge leads me to believe they are good.

6 gallons of milk and 90 eggs for the next week.

@steve dave Miller Lite screw tops are ideal for pounding while playing golf out here. No need to worry about excessive foaming during bumpy golf cart rides to the next tee box.

Cats eat eggs? How do they like them prepared?

Typically scrambled with milk poured over the top in a big aluminum party tray.

As my brother and I (both shirtless) were playing our normal 18 holes in the evening the farmer adjacent to us decided to work his fields. No one has lived at this place for 20+ years and all of a sudden there are 2 shirtless bros playing golf.

We waved to each other so its all good.
