Mom'sDayonthe Farm Last Saturday Tehama County CattleWomen Linda Borror and I, with Beef Ambassador Danielle Mueller attended Mom's Day on the Farm, another beef check-off funded proj- ect executed by American National CattleWomen. Yolo Land & Cattle Com- pany ranch, west of Win- ters on county road 25 in Esparto, was one of the ten ranches selected to host the tours between May 17 and September 18. They are spread across the country; California, Missouri, Minnesota, Arizona, Florida and Geor- gia where there are mas- sive urban areas or pock- ets of population in which moms have no contact with agriculture. Most of the mothers came from Sacramento area, but there were sev- eral like our special mom Missy Cox from Red Bluff who accompanied us to the event. She is the mother of a three-and-a- half-year-old daughter, and interested in learning more about the beef indus- try, nutrition and grilling the perfect steak. Casey and Angela Stone welcomed the moms to their ranch and shared their ranch history. Bill Borror and I were friends with Casey's father, Hank Stone who died this spring. More than 350 ranchers and friends from the west came to Hank's Celebration of Life held on the ranch. Bill and Hank were both honored as Livestock Man of the Year at the Cow Palace by the California Chamber of Commerce. Yolo Land and Cattle Co. were honored as na- tional winners of the 2008 Environmental Steward- ship Award, created in 1991 to recognize beef pro- ducers who make envi- ronmental stewardship a priority on their farms and ranches while at the same time improving pro- duction and profitability. The environmental stew- ards serve as spokespeo- ple for the cattle industry by sharing their stories of conservation and environ- mental practices. We climbed aboard the bus to view their stew- ardship with smooth wire fences around the ponds, so cattle are not in the wa- ter but deer and other wild animals can drink from the ponds. It was warm stand- ing in the sun, listening to Wendy Rash, of Rangeland Trust describe the environ- mental practices, and Farm Advisor Morgan Doran talk about Beef Quality As- surance and cattle raising practices. With the drought, only two ponds out of a hun- dred on the ranch had a little water in them. All of the cattle had been moved to rented or leased loca- tions in California and Ne- vada. Some bulls and a pen of cows were in the feed lot, so the mom's could see some cattle since all had been moved from the dry hills. Solar pumps are used to pump the water to a tank on the hill, and then flow- ing into troughs for the cattle to drink from on the 7,000 acre ranch. Yolo Land and Cattle has had agricultural tours since 1996, with visitors from many foreign coun- tries as well as local school children. Ranch weddings are another event held at the red barn. They market grass-fed beef, and their jerky is popular. Back at the headquar- ters, the mom's headed for the shade in the corral af- ter a brief ride in a stock trailer. Casey explained how they work the cattle when they are using the hydraulic chute, and they learned how a "paddle" is used instead of whips or hot shots to move cattle quietly. Then it was time to learn about beef cuts, rubs and marinades and grilling. Some mom's had grass- fed steaks from Yolo Land and Cattle, and others had grain-fed steaks from the butcher shop. The CattleWomen and Beef Ambassador prepared the accompaniments for the steak wraps, salads and visited with the guests during the luncheon. My job was to take pictures.
