The last baby fed and the sun is long gone🌙
10° and dropping fast, Merida is full and everyone is tucked in before the sub-zero temps hit. The work doesn't stop when the sun goes down

The sun came out just in time for this sweet boy to meet his new family. It means the world to us when seasoned Boz owners reach out to add one of our pups to their ranch.
Arturo is going to be living the dream in Jackson Hole with a family that truly 'gets' him.

One lucky boy, one very grateful EMR ranch. Safe travels, little guy!

That frost you see on Zana’s coat? It’s actually a sign of how incredible her insulation is! Her body heat stays trapped deep inside, leaving the outer layer cold enough for the frost to settle without melting.
We’re hunkered down and keeping the stock cozy here at EMR. Wishing you all a safe and warm weekend!
