Weather doesn't stop farm work on the Ranch 2020-08-02 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Victoria Pike of Miss Vicky\'s Pampered Angus Ranch. Miss Mahindra mows on in one of many downpours this Saturday afternoon at the Pampered Angus Ranch. It was looking pretty rough around here the last couple of weeks due to a run in I had with a sick 750 lb steer. He turned and ran at me butting me in the backside 4 times before I could get myself up a gate. Makes for a sore back and ribs. I know, I’m trying to be careful but life happens. Happy weekend. Keep your powder dry. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
