WELCOME
Hi and welcome to the Rivers and Ruminants blog.
This blog's most important function is to provide updates to anyone interested in Striking A Livestock beef or goats. Aside from that, it will most likely be full on goat conversations, dog antics, and fish stories. This is actually why I set it up, so I didn't clog the Striking A website by introducing the great cast of characters that make it all possible, but I suppose it is more important to provide updates. On my income tax under occupation it says "self-employed, rancher" and "fishing guide" and "fisheries technician" (the later is fancy for field work) and none of these titles have predisposed me with great computer skills so bear with me while I get this thing figured out. I will make sure to have some sort of different title or tag on entries with official important stuff in them so you don't have to sort through the rest of this gibberish to figure out when you can pick up your beef.
Back to those titles, they all sound a bit self important for what I actually do (they are great for getting raised eyebrows out of insurance folk, bankers, and the like -- you can even hear eyebrows raise over the phone). I spend most my days either hanging out and talking to animals or looking for fish, or trying to figure out how a can finagle a way to spend more days doing those things. Granted some days hanging out and looking take lots of hour and miles, but it still makes for a pretty good day. I feel pretty fortunate to be able to be so close to the things I care about most on a daily basis.
Anyway the important stuff: the first few entries will be dedicated to the background on the ranch and its inhabitants. Check back for more soon.
