Rachel Gabel: "In Colorado, rural stakeholders are dangerously close to allowing a governor to leverage chaos and conflict to destroy partnerships that have been cultivated for generations."

Rachel Gabel: "Colorado residents who value private property rights and recognize the importance of agriculture, must submit comments on the Federal Register prior to Feb. 14. It’s a real sweetheart of a proposal."

Rachel Gabel: "For a U.S. cattle producer, a tongue is difficult to market stateside, but in Japan, where it is a delicacy, it can add $40 per carcass. That’s significant. One man’s tongue is another man’s treasure."

Rachel Gabel: "It seems if we’re ranking the threats to public lands, cartel-funded illegal drug operations staffed with trafficked individuals and guarded by cartel members with large guns would certainly rank higher than cows."

Rachel Gabel: "I want them to return to agriculture, whether that’s working for (CPW) or making ag loans. The future is bright and they’re hungry to seek and find their place in the industry. There’s room at the ag table. Pull up a chair."

This is Deb. Her sense of humor could be described as dry and her blood stream is primarily nicotine and coffee. She tells sheriffs deputies where to go for a living, and the smart ones do as they’re told. She compiled the blotter recap for the month with an absolutely straight face.

This is Amy. She went clothes shopping today. In addition to wishing clothing designers would stop intentionally adding holes to various articles of clothing and wishing they would let crop tops die the death they deserve, she wishes there was some sort of sizing standards. She was in the dressing room at The Target wishing her cool friends could just dress her without having to go through the clothes purchasing process. She was trying on the last of her items when she heard two women talking. One of them came out of the stall to model a pair of sale rack shorts for the other.
“No…those are not working.” The first one told the model.
“I think they’re cute..” the model said and spun around to face her friend. She took a few steps and the inevitable happened.
The second woman snort laughed and said, “Those are Thanksgiving shorts if I’ve ever seen any…I can’t let you buy those. We’re friends, for Pete’s sake.”
She must have received a puzzled look. I leaned to hear what Thanksgiving shorts are. Orange crocheted? Horn o’ plenty embroidered on the back pockets? Turkey feather trim?
“Thanksgiving shorts! Your thighs just gobbled those babies up!”
The two dissolved into fits of laughter and she wished she was their friend. #cowbios

Rachel Gabel: "The failure of Denver’s 309 that sought to outlaw slaughterhouses in the City and County of Denver is being spoken about with great relief and a bit of surprise in cafes and salebarns around the country."

Rachel Gabel: "It’s frustrating the two commissioners have a total disregard for their positions and the rules they are required to follow and there will be no recourse. It’s frustrating they don’t appear to support the wildlife professionals within CPW."

This is Dawnita. It was a really great weekend in Vegas with the girls. Who says you can’t be a child of the 1900s and party like it’s 1999? She’s home and scrolling through her photos in search of the perfect photo to showcase her new tattoo. It’s a saying she chose that will be a good reminder to her when things get tough. It’ll serve as evidence that she persevered. It’ll be a lasting reminder that she is able and scrappy, and can do hard things. She zoomed into one of the photos and her heart sank to her toes. “Keep clam and carry on.” stared back at her. Sweet baby Jesus on the seafood menu. This one is going to be hard to live down. No regerts, Dawnita, no regerts. #cowbios
everything and she replied that she had seen the sign. It opened up her eyes. She saw the sign. She found the station in her car and when the boy child pointed out it was the oldies station, all she could whisper was don’t speak. You still got it, Matilda. #cowbios
This is Matilda. She was pushing her cart through the grocery store and trying not to sing along to the radio playing some real bangers. It was like being at the club in college but with an extra 50 pounds, a first grader, and sensible shoes. She horrified her kid asking him
to tell her what he wants what he really really wants for dinner. He climbed on the side of the cart and she explained that she didn’t want no scrubs. You know, hanging off the side of his best friend’s ride. She horrified herself a little when the checker asked if she found
