Ahoy! I’ve been up to my eyeballs in work (good work, but leaving no brain power for blogging). Twitter to the rescue! Here’s round two of words of others…. . . . . . This was my fa...
It’s been less than a week since my grass-finished beef debuted and already a third of my supply is spoken for! I have several orders in each of the following areas: Seattle, Bay Area, LA, San ...
When I re-read my main post on Star Brand Beef a few hours after I published it, I worried that I may have not been clear enough regarding the cutting and packaging of the beef. All orders will be ma...
Those who’ve read my Why I’m Not Vegetarian post know I am passionate about humanely-raised, free-roaming, grass-finished beef ~ for the sake of the animals and the people who eat it. So ...
Rams and bucks. The studs of the ovines. For those of you who don’t have the opportunity to analyze the testicles of various animals in your day to day life, I can tell you that rams and bucks ...
It’s certainly not for lack of caring about animals. But before I get into details ~ I have noticed, over the years, that conversations about food and diet often veer into a similar realm as th...
this photo is so much nicer to look at larger; click the image to zip to flickr, then click it in flickr to make it bigger.
Hi All ~ Many readers have forwarded me this recent article regarding Wildlife Services. Thank you! It’s a great article. Those of you who’ve read The Daily Coyote know that Mike has work...
I’ve been getting a bunch of questions on The Daily Coyote about Eli, and why he’s not in photographs much anymore, and this is why. He runs all night and sleeps all day. All day. Charlie...
The trickery worked. We jacketed the calf, which (skip to the next paragraph if you’re squeamish) means skinning the dead calf and putting that hide onto the orphan calf ~ four holes are cut in...
I’ve been writing. Manic stretches where my pen can barely keep up with my brain alternating with staring at a blank page for hours and doodling in the margins. A calf was born strange, there w...
organic strawberries + cream from a cow who loves me I blended it up and had it for dinner in my outdoor tub last night. It’s the little things. And also the big things! My first (only) angus ...
that is all.
“COME RIDE ME!” She’s my Goldilocks cow. Daisy & Frisco are too bony. Sir Baby is so plush but I have to do the splits to straddle him. Fiona is just right.
About a week ago, as I fought to emerge from a Mini Egg stupor, I twittered: “MiniEggs are going to be the death of me. And WHY do they now show up in stores in February? The season of my addic...
I told Mike the name suggestions left in the last post and he loved the name Oreo. So that is her name. Most of Mike’s cows are solid black but he had one white-faced cow ~ sometimes this cow w...
A shower. A mug of strong tea. I could have spent twenty minutes in the shower but a problem with my water heater means I only have enough hot water for the basics. Long enough for the acute stress...
…story to come…
These dreams! If I keep having these dreams, which are most certainly in service of the new book but leave me feeling like I’ve been thrashed in high waves and thrown against the rocks all nig...
Random thoughts led to other random thoughts and now I have a question. I was thinking about protagonists, and realized that just because I love a particular book does not automatically mean I love t...
I cut off all my hair! It’s been about two weeks and I was going to wait to post about it until I had a photo but we all know how often I take candids of myself, so you’ll have to wait. ...
Multiple, actually. It’s one of my favorite places to be……. I’m always amazed that my friends & family put up with my “disappearances” ~ I can be completely i...

Two weeks ago, it was still autumn. {five bucks you can’t spot Charlie} Winter arrived. And I pine for summer.
If you’ve been following my tweets, you know my latest favorite is riding Sir Baby, my black angus bull. I’ve been lying on him for years and one day, not too long ago, he started to get...
