Why Cattle Keep Visiting Our Home—Life in a New Mexico Free-Range State Explained!

Why the Cattle Keep Visiting Our House — Life in a Free-Range State**

*(Off-Grid Talk from Plateau Hame De Colquhoun)*

If you’ve ever watched our **Offgrid Talk** videos or tuned in to **Music in the Desert**, you already know that living out here at **Plateau Hame De Colquhoun** comes with some surprises. But one of the questions we get most often—especially on TikTok—is:

**“Why are there cattle at your house?”**

Fair question.
And the answer is simple:

### **We live in New Mexico… a free-range state.**

That means cattle are free to roam in their designated grazing areas, and unless *we* put up fencing (which we really don’t want to), the cows are basically allowed to drop by whenever they feel like it.

And trust me—they *do*.

## **Why the Cows Love Our Place**

We’re not a fancy resort.
We’re not serving cow snacks.
We don’t even have cow Wi-Fi (yet).

But the cattle absolutely adore the same things that bring you and me joy:

* Solar cameras
* Solar lights
* Motion sensors
* Anything with a blinky light
* Anything that beeps
* Anything that looks even slightly expensive

If it glows, flashes, or makes a sound… they’re going to investigate it.

Some people fight off raccoons.
Some people fight off squirrels.
We fight off **solar-loving cows** who try to boop the cameras at **Ka-Hoon Campground** like they’re testing out new technology.

Honestly?
They’re better security guards than any alarm system.

## **Life at Ka-Hoon Campground**

Living beside free-range cattle is just part of the charm here.
Between the cows, coyotes, jack rabbits, the animatronic chaos of **Advocatus Diaboli** and the **Grim Leafer Band**, and the unusual acts booked through **Melodie’s Oddities**, there’s never a dull moment.

Throw in the desert sound work from **Jafo Productions**, a few off-grid challenges, and nightly entertainment through **Colquhoun Entertainment**, and you’ve got a life that’s unpredictable—but always full of stories.

So if the cattle walk by our cameras, nosing around like they’re auditioning for a desert reality show…
that’s just life at **Plateau Hame De Colquhoun**.

And we wouldn’t change it.
