FINDING HOME ON THE RANGE March 28, 2018 by Jessi Adcock
“So, what are your plans for after graduation?” “What you want to do with your life?” Ah, the questions every soon-to-be college graduate dreads. And of course, the ones asked by every well-meaning grandparent, aunt, professor, and friend. If you’d asked me one of these questions a year and a half ago, my answer would have been a shrug of the shoulders and a quick change of subject. Not even in my wildest dreams would I have said that I would be ranching in New Mexico. But lo and behold, a year and a half later here I am.
Program. A part of me had always wanted to work on a cattle ranch out West (I mean, what little girl doesn’t want to grow up to be a cowgirl??) but I had never seriously considered it. I knew I didn’t want to go back home to West Virginia just yet, and a six month apprenticeship seemed like it might be just the adventure I longed for.
I skimmed the listing of farms and ranches on the NAP page and found the Ranney Ranch: A cow-calf and directmarket grassfed beef operation in the mesa country of central New Mexico. Hmmm, New Mexico. Never really thought about going there. All the songs and movies are about Texas, Wyoming, Montana. But, I Want to know the story? Ok, here it liked the sound of the operation and the goes: preferred start date lined up well with I was sitting in my dorm room at Berea graduation, so I applied.

didn’t want me to leave West Virginia and the life I’d started to build there, others thought an apprenticeship wasn’t suited for someone with a Bachelor’s degree (i.e. I should get a “real job”). But many were in favor, and I can’t thank them enough for their support and encouragement. Many aspects of working on a ranch weren’t new to me. I’d grown up on a hobby farm/homestead in West Virginia, studied agriculture in college, and spent a few summers working on farms both at home and abroad. But I’d never spent time in an arid environment, nor had I worked on large scale watering systems. The remoteness of the ranch didn’t bother me too much, but it was hard for me to wrap my central Appalachian brain around the sheer size: 18,000 acres (which I’ve come to learn isn’t really all that big out here). Needless to say, I was a little intimidated. Hank the Cowdog (who’s actually afraid of cows) and I arrived in late May, naïve to the whirlwind that would be our next few months. Little did I know it would be one of the most amazing experiences of my life (scorpion houseguests notwithstanding). Not only did I learn a lot about living and working in agriculture in the southwest, I had the privilege to work with incredible mentors and become part of an amazing community. It’s hard to believe one can do so many different things in just six months. Some things built on knowledge and skills I already had, but others were a totally new experience. I accompanied Kirk Gadzia twice during the summer, which gave me a good introduction to rangeland health monitoring and plant identification.
a wealth of knowledge when it comes to ranching, as he comes from a ranching family and has spent the last 34 years managing Ranney. There’s no end to the work that needs to be done on a ranch, but also nothing better than the satisfaction you feel after a hard day’s work. I learned how to work cattle horseback, practiced pulling and backing stock trailers, managed juniper encroachment, and improved my mechanical skills by assisting Melvin with various equipment repairs. I assisted with CSP data collection, and was able to be present during the auditing process for the Audubon Conservation Ranching certification. Nancy and I worked on marketing the grassfed program, launching a social media advertising campaign, exploring new avenues for sales in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and hosting events on the ranch. I had opportunities to visit other ranches in New Mexico and Colorado, and was able to attend several workshops and events over the course of the apprenticeship, further expanding my knowledge of cattle production and healthy land management. There were good days and not so good days (sitting on a cactus while fixing fence stands out), but in the end it’s all worth it, seeing your hard work pay off in growing calves, healthy land, and happy customers. Despite my early uncertainty, New Mexico and ranching have captured my heart and I’ve decided to stay out here a little while longer.
I’ve moved up to Newkirk to work at the JT Land and Cattle company for a few months, before heading off on another I helped Melvin on the ranch day to day: adventure. I’m incredibly thankful for the experience at Ranney Ranch and I’m checking cows, monitoring the water system, and other general ranch tasks. He is excited to see what the future has to hold!

Slowly deworming, doctoring for lice and mites, introducing a better diet...slowly she came around. Saddest thing to me, besides her overall condition, is that she had come out of a “petting zoo” and had never eaten any type of grain. I set up a buffet of choices hoping to find something she would at least give a taste. Finally with much coaxing, she decided she loves grain!
YAMS Meet Yams! She is a new resident at Runyan Ranches. Yams is a royal yak. They are known for their docile temperament and beautiful hair. We purchased her from a friend that acquired a load of animals from a petting zoo that had gone out of business, thankfully I will add. Pictures couldn’t prepare us for the shape she was in when we made the trip to get her.
At the present moment, you can find Yams usually up front and center at the zoo. She loves the public! She loves to be rubbed on and will eat right out of your hand. If you don’t offer her a treat she will often times give you a snort (yak lingo for, “Over here, please!”). When I go in the pen with a bucket, now days I need to hit a fast trot or she will knock me down for her supper. We are still working on her hair coat and weight, but in the meantime, she loves for you to tell her how beautiful she looks.

Mothering Sunday is the perfect excuse to take over the kitchen and cook something simple and delicious – a roast chicken or a slow-cooked Moroccan lamb, perhaps – a hearty meal you can pop in the oven and leave for a few hours while you catch up on some much-needed gossip, glass in hand, with your mother or closest confidant. Or maybe you’re picturing something a touch lighter: lining the stomach with feta and walnut salad before moving onto a
large slice or two of chocolate cake, or a Champagne afternoon tea? For each option, the wine in question should be something to be enjoyed in the moment without the faff off having to wait for the wine to mature, long after Mother’s Day has passed. Because time isn’t something we can take for granted these days.

Giant Sloths roam White Sands Monument
Story courtesy of The Washington Post Each year 500,000 people visit New Mexico's White Sands National Monument to hike and frolic among gypsum dunes. Aside from the tourists, few animals in the region get much larger than a coyote or bobcat. But in an epoch called the Pleistocene, which started 2.5 million years ago and ended about 12,000 years ago, the alkali flats and nearby lakes attracted giants. Mammoths and mastodons walked the playa, as did saber-tooth cats, North American camels and huge, 8,000-pound sloths.
inside a ground sloth's paw marks, they report in a new analysis of the park's tracks in the journal Science Advances.
Where these creatures went, ancient humans followed. We know this because the travelers left footprints — physical evidence that people chased the giants. In a western corner of White Sands, scientists recently found a human print
In 1981, geologists investigated tracks of camels and other four-footed animals at the nearby White Sands Missile Range. It was not until 2011 that researchers began a systematic survey of the megatrack, including drone flights
“Thousands and thousands of trackways” crisscross the area, said Vince Santucci, a senior paleontologist with the National Park Service and an author of the new report. The official term for such concentrated pathways is a megatrack. The megatrack in White Sands “is the largest one that we know of in North America.”

Page 67 over the sand in 2014. This survey revealed the first collection of human tracks: 27 individual footprints that vanished into a dune. Santucci and his colleagues measured the stride and the gait to predict where beneath the dune the next print should be and excavated the dune. “And lo and behold, right where we anticipated they would have been, were human footprints,” he said.
Milner said the discovery of the humanwithin-sloth prints was remarkable. “Having these human tracks that are interacting with Pleistocene megafauna — it's never been seen before.” What's more, this suggests a minimum age of the prints. They are at least 11,000 years old, as ancient as the last ground sloth.
A human followed quite literally in the sloth's footsteps. “Given the arid environment, there is quite a narrow amount of time you can walk on The tracks at the White Sands flats are remote, that surface to record your footprint,” said Matteo and, bordered by the military testing range to the Belvedere, a scientist with Switzerland's north, mostly protected from human disturbance.

Nor was determine the age of the human prints using Milner. “There’s no evidence of hunting here,” geologic techniques like carbon dating. “The dates are coming up all over the place,” Santucci Milner said. “There’s no kill site. Maybe ground sloths were fun to harass? Who knows.” said. In 2016, they invited experts from around the world to help examine the tracks. Bennett and Belvedere, however, speculated that humans were readying for a kill.

The Lincoln County War | Part 9 |Billy’s Last Day As both The Kid and Garrett certainly knew, Fort Sumner had been the setting for memorable chapters in the history of the Southwestern frontier. During the Civil War, it had served as a concentration camp for the Navajos and Mescalero Apaches, who lost many of their people in the insect-infested fields and fetid waters of the Pecos River valley. It had become the northernmost point on the Pecos River leg of the Goodnight-Loving Trail, which Texas cowmen used to drive tens of thousands of longhorn cattle to markets as far north as Wyoming. After abandonment by the Army in 1868, the fort – the heart of the community – fell into the hands of Lucien B. Maxwell, a cattle baron, and at one time, the largest private landowner in the United States. The former officers’ quarters had been recast as a large and lavish home for the family and servants, much like a Mexican hacienda. The compound passed into the hands of son Pete Maxwell when Lucien died in 1875. Both Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett knew the Maxwell family well. Neither knew, however,
that, by sheer coincidence, they would converge at the Maxwell place on the warm moonlit night of July 14, 1881. Around 9:00 p.m., Billy lounged on the ground with friends in a nearby peach orchard, chatting in Spanish. He wore his customary sombrero, boots, and a dark vest and pants. He rose from the ground, walked out of the orchard, lept over a fence, and disappeared into the Maxwell compound. He either went to the room of a friend (or, possibly, to the room of Celsa Gutierrez, Pat Garrett’s sister-in-law) along the old officers’ row. Garrett, with Poe and McKinney, appeared in the peach orchard, planning to talk in secret with Pete Maxwell, hoping he might know something current about Billy. Garrett and his men kept to the shadows. They saw men sitting on the ground speaking in Spanish. As they watched quietly, they saw in the moonlight someone, who wore a sombrero, boots and dark vest, rise from the ground, walk out of the orchard, leap over a fence and disappear into the compound. Near midnight, they moved silently to the southeast corner of the Maxwell house, just outside Pete’s bedroom. Garrett left Poe and

McKinney on the porch. He entered quietly through the open door into the darkened bedroom to awaken Pete and question him. Billy, having taken off his hat, vest and boots, decided that he wanted something to eat. He built a cook fire. He took his knife – and, apparently as a precaution, his Colt pistol – and he walked, in his socks, across the compound to cut a piece of meat from the carcass of a freshly killed yearling steer hanging from a rafter above the porch outside Maxwell’s bedroom. Simultaneously, inside the bedroom, Garrett started to question Maxwell, who was aggravated about having been awakened.
Just outside the bedroom, on the porch, Billy discovered the shadowy figures of Poe and McKinney. “Quien es?” Billy demanded, leveling his pistol on Poe. “Who are you?” He moved toward the door to Maxwell’s bedroom, probably thinking instinctively that it would serve as a sanctuary. Garrett and Maxwell heard the anxious voices on the porch. They fell silent. Billy entered the room, his pistol ready. “Who are those fellows outside, Pete?” he asked Maxwell “That’s him!” Maxwell said to Garrett.

Billy, startled, saw the dark form of Garrett. “Quien es?”

“...I jerked my gun and fired,” Garrett would say later. Afraid that Garrett may have wounded a lion in the darkness, Garrett and Maxwell scrambled out of the room, which fell silent. Garrett said, “...I think I have got him.” They heard nothing. Garrett watched as Maxwell lit a candle and placed it in the window of the bedroom to light the interior. Garrett, Poe and McKinney peered through the window, and in the flickering light, they could see a figure sprawled on the floor, motionless. Billy the Kid, with Pat Garret’s bullet lodged in his chest, just above the heart, lay dead. Bereaved Hispanic women gathered at the sound of the gunfire. They carried The Kid’s body to a nearby room, laying his body on a bench. They placed “...lighted candles around it according to their ideas of properly conducting a ‘wake’ for the dead,” said Deputy Poe. The afternoon of the next day, the community buried Billy the Kid in the Fort Sumner cemetery, next to two old friends and gang members.

Why Are Pistachios So Expensive? Pistachios are one of the world’s healthiest and maybe tastiest nuts. Their distinctive green fruits crop up in everything from salads to entrees and desserts. They may be most popular on their own, as a midday snack: dry-roasted and lightly salted to perfection. Cracking the nuts out of their shells is almost as satisfying as the flavor itself, which is rich, nutty, a little earthy with a touch of sweetness. There really is no other nut like them. Whether you’re a fan of pistachios or not, if you’ve ever purchased them, you’ve probably wondered about the price. Pistachios come in at a higher price point than nuts like almonds or peanuts. There’s not only one good reason for it, but several.
Pistachios Only Grow In A Few Places Pistachio trees are a native desert plant and can survive in poor soil with adverse weather conditions, if there’s enough root drainage. They do have two requirements: cool winters (a thousand hours under 45 degrees, but the ground can’t freeze) and long, hot summers with low humidity for proper ripening. Surprisingly, this really limits the areas of the world where they can be grown. Iran has long been a top producer, along with other countries of the Middle East, the San Joaquin Valley in California, southeastern Arizona, and the high desert
of New Mexico. 98% of the US crop is grown in California.
Pistachio Trees Take A Long Time to Mature Once you’ve found a suitably arid location for a pistachio orchard, it takes four to five years for the tree to start bearing. Producing just a handful of nuts in the beginning, it takes 15 -20 years to reach peak production.
Individual Trees Don’t Produce Many Nuts Once again, you’ve found the perfect planting site and waited two decades for maturation, now, each female pistachio tree will only produce about forty pounds of dry, hulled nuts. Like any other crop, weather conditions must be just right, or the amount of production will be affected. The male trees (the pollinator), do not bear nuts. The number of pollinators can range from 10% to 15% of the total trees in the grove.
Peak Production Is Only Every Other Year Pistachios are “alternate bearing”, which means one year the tree has full production, followed by a year of lower production, when it stores nutrition for the upcoming year.
Pistachios Are A Labor-Intensive Crop
Find our magazine on line at: issuu.com/alamodosomagazine
Page 81 In the United States, machines are used to harvest and process the nuts, but humans are running and supervising the equipment, loading and unloading the pistachios. The most intricate process is the last step of quality control, when the nuts are hand sorted to ensure that only the highest quality of nuts are packaged. Bottom line, the growing and harvesting of pistachios is an elaborate, time and labor- intensive process with no opportunities for cutting corners along the way. If this article has made you crave some fresh pistachios, you can purchase them from Heart of the Desert, based in a little-known place called Alamogordo, New Mexico, population 31,000, where the summers are hot and dry and the winters are cool, but not too cold. Heart of the Desert is a working pistachio ranch and vineyard with four retail establishments in New Mexico. They are best known for their farm fresh pistachios and Award-Winning New Mexico wines. Each store offers wine and pistachio tastings. They offer worldwide shipping and produce attractive gourmet baskets that make great corporate and family gifts. The main store, on the ranch in Alamogordo, offers farm tours that showcases how pistachios are grown and processed as well as a stunning Tuscany themed patio that overlooks the groves and is available for weddings, private parties or enjoying a relaxing glass of wine.

Cochiti Recreation Area is located in Sandoval County, New Mexico, within the boundaries of the Pueblo de Cochiti Indian Reservation. The lake offers two public recreation areas: Cochiti on the west side of the lake and Tetilla Peak on the east side. Both sides offer spectacular scenic views of the water and surrounding mountains.
There are many opportunities for wildlife viewing. Four osprey nesting platforms have been erected around the lake to provide nesting sites, as well as viewing opportunities. On the east side of the lake, deer, coyote and rabbit are often sighted. Wind surfing is a favorite pastime for visitors. The lake is also a popular fishing spot for species such as bass, crappie, walleye, catfish, sunfish and trout.
