Book Description
There's more to ranching than sitting atop a mighty steed and herding cattle. Klippenstein's unique insights and written snapshots of life on the prairie confirm the need for humor in everyone's life. The humor born out of life's experiences.

The reader is with Rachel as she milks a cow with mastitis and with her as she attempts to back a twenty-foot gooseneck stock trailer at the National Western Stock Show in Denver.

Walk with Marc and Rachel into an alfalfa field blooming with potential profit -- and then stand on the loading dock when the seed dealer offers to buy the precious seed for less than the cost of combining.

Share Rachel's frustration at mal-functioning appliances and the stinging of red ants. Join the author of Do You, Rachel, Take Ranching for Better or for Worse? at her annual Pity Party, table for one. Be with her at a surprise birthday party -- hers.

If you want the behind the scenes look at County Fair preparations or at food preparations for the haying crew, then this book is MUST reading. Fifty essays, listed alphabetically, take the reader on an informative journey that ends with an impassioned plea to join Friends of Ranching, so when Rachel says, "This place is like a zoo," she means it.
