New lady on the property! The mules noticed immediately. She came on a little too strong.

It’s been HOT in West Texas. The donkeys at the Chaos Ranch have been training for this weather all their lives. 😉. We are doing well and watching grazing conditions closely.

It’s a toss up as to which one has favorite mule status. 😂.

Well, new world screw worm is here. We will be diligent with fly control and inspection of the donkey and cattle herds on the property. Co-Ral dust, spray, and pine tar applied to any open wounds here is the plan. We will also be visiting with the vet Monday to determine best injectable treatments since we are scheduled to be away for a trip soon for a bit.

The important thing is to lay eyes on all animals as often as possible. Screw worms are treatable if caught early enough.

Also, many have asked why so many donkeys. We lease grass for grazing to Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue. They are a great organization to work with, and the donkey lease and subsequent Airbnb guests that come to visit them have helped supplement other improvements on this place. We currently have 44 head and have had as many as 115, depending on grass availability. We have finally found our sweet spot with cattle, donkeys, and wildlife management. You do what you do to make it work in West Texas! Thanks for all the well wishes, and y’all take care.

There were too many comments on the last video to keep track of and respond to. Hopefully this clears a few things up. Thank y’all and keep on keepin’ on! We will get through it, but every Texan needs to be diligent.
