Quote of the Week:

Getting grass-fed beef into the hands of people who love good food

We're working with Dan Merewether at Prairie Lane Ranch on a web site and online presence for his grassfed beef operation. Dan's ranch is located out in Karval, which is southeast of Limon on the Colorado prairie. I went out there last month to help bring in some of his herd for vaccinations and branding the new calves, and was very impressed with his approach to his cattle and the land on which they graze. You can visit the flickr set of my visit there and see how we walked the herd in; no horses, no motorcycles, trucks, or ATVs here to stress the cattle out.

You'll hear a lot more from Dan himself, once the site is completed; in the meantime, we've created a placeholder site for his ranch, with a link to a form to stay up to date on what's happening out on the plains. The ranch also has a Twitter presence. Check them out, and let us know what you think of it so far.

Slow blog month, obviously!

It's been a slow month at the blog, so I appreciate the robots, passive readers, and (most importantly) loyal fans who haven't hit the "delete" button in their feed-readers yet.

Some news:

We're updating notchcode.com at the moment. Right now it's got the basic new framework, but not a lot of content. The new front page can redirect you to the old content (including the blog, for now) until we get the new site fully functional. Anyone who has some good ideas for how to integrate our notchcode into the fluid css of the site, e-mail me and you'll win a prize if we use it!

Aside from the new site, we have two new kindergardeners in the house, so that's kept us very busy:

Mmmmm...beefy.

I'm working on a nice social media and online branding campaign for a small family ranch in eastern Colorado, and it's a heck of a lot of fun. I'll point you to a placeholder site page once we have it up, and then we'll be moving into a content rich, visually enjoyable site experience where you can find out all you ever wanted to know about what ranch life is like, what you can do with a Pikes Peak Roast, and what the heck "certified Angus Beef" means, anyway. The owner of the ranch is a great writer, so I expect the site to be not just a great place to buy your beef, but also a nice window into the world of a small family ranch.
