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.

When the Neighbors Are Cows 🐄 Sunset Visitors at Ka-Hoon Campground | Off-Grid Life with a Laugh!
When the Neighbors Are Cows: Sunset Visitors at Ladron Peak”
Out here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, our “neighbors” tend to wander in without knocking — and tonight, it was a herd of free-range cattle stopping by for a sunset stroll! 🐄
While most folks get visits from friends or delivery drivers, we get cows casually grazing their way through the desert, acting like they own the place. As the sun dipped behind Ladron Peak, painting the sky in gold and fire, our four-legged guests posed perfectly for nature’s evening show.
Living off-grid means sharing space — sometimes with coyotes, sometimes with wind, and sometimes with a curious cow sniffing your camper steps. But honestly, it’s part of the magic out here. Peace, laughter, and the occasional moo. 🌄
If you’re looking to experience real desert life — complete with unforgettable sunsets, open skies, and maybe even a surprise cow encounter — visit http://www.plateauhamedecolquhoun.com and book your stay today!

Desert Roads Flooded After Just a Few Drops of Rain! Free-Range Cattle Loving It 🌧🐄
Desert Rains Bring Surprising Floods Near Ka-Hoon Campground
Out here in the desert, it doesn’t take much rain to change the landscape. Over the last couple of days, we’ve had a little rain at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center—but not much at all. Just a few miles north of us, though, the roads told a different story.
Check out the video to see a few flooded spots, including one where free-range cattle were happily wading through the water. It’s amazing how such a small amount of rain can cause puddles, washouts, and mud across the mesa.
That’s desert life—one moment it’s dry and dusty, and the next, the roads are soaked. Even if we don’t get much on our end, the surrounding areas can flood quickly, and it can take a few days before the roads fully dry out.
Living off-grid in the New Mexico desert means embracing these surprises. From music echoing at Ka-Hoon Campground to cattle enjoying rainwater pools, the mesa is always full of unexpected beauty.

You Won’t Believe What Happened at Ka-Hoon Campground This Morning… Desert Drama with Two Bulls!
**You Won’t Believe What Happened at Ka-Hoon Campground This Morning… Desert Drama with Two Bulls!**
Living off-grid in the New Mexico desert definitely has its perks—peace, open skies, and plenty of space—but it also comes with its share of *wild* surprises. One of those surprises? **Free-range cattle.** Yep, real-life, unsupervised cows just roaming the land like they own the place.
Here at **Ka-Hoon Campground**, we’ve come to a sort of “understanding” with these four-legged locals: they stay out of our main event and camping area, and we let them graze in peace. Unfortunately, **this morning, that agreement was broken. Again.**
While heading out to encourage them back where they belong, **two bulls decided it was the perfect time for a desert showdown.** With no phone on me (of course!), I had to move cautiously between two full-grown bulls *going head-to-head*—right where our guests usually enjoy their morning coffee.
After a tense few moments, they moved out of our main zone and continued their standoff across the way… for over an hour! Once I made it back to the RV, I captured some of their ongoing match from a safe distance.
**It’s not every day you witness a bull brawl in your backyard,** but out here in the wild west of New Mexico, it’s just another morning.
Want to experience the beauty (and wild drama) of the desert for yourself? **Come camp with us at Ka-Hoon Campground**—where nature doesn’t just surround you, it *includes* you.

Caught on Cam: Cows Invade Off-Grid Campground, Lick Cameras & Cause Chaos in the Desert!
The Real Moochers of the Desert: Life Off-Grid with Free-Range Cattle at Ka-Hoon Campground
Living off-grid in the deep New Mexico desert has its perks—stunning sunsets, wide-open skies, and the sweet sound of silence… until the mooing starts.
Here at **Ka-Hoon Campground**, we’re tucked away just far enough to enjoy peaceful desert life, yet still close enough to civilization to grab tacos when the craving hits. But even in this semi-remote slice of paradise, we get **invaders**—and not the alien kind. We’re talking about the **free-range cattle** who apparently think *our grass is greener*.
Last night, these rogue bovines made a stealthy entrance, clearly plotting an elaborate heist. Step one? **Take out the security system**. We caught them red-tongued—licking and blocking the cameras like seasoned pros. Step two? **Steal the grass**, leave a little *”thank you”* manure, knock over our solar lights for good measure, and give the poles a good rub while they’re at it.
It’s not your typical crime spree, but welcome to **off-grid living in New Mexico**.
Despite their sneaky antics, it’s all part of the charm out here. Life is raw, real, and sometimes full of surprises—some smelly, some solar-powered.
So if you’re dreaming of going off-grid, come prepared. You might escape the hustle of the city… but you won’t escape the cows.
**Ka-Hoon Campground**—where even the cattle want in.

Chasing Cattle Away From the RVs: A Morning on the Campground!
Thought I’d share a quick video of the cattle paying us a visit this morning and having to chase them away from the RVs. Watch how “difficult” it is to drive them off (said sarcastically)!

Meet Vibria: Our Newest Adventure and Challenges with Free-Range Cattle!
Life with Vibria: Our New Puppy and Free-Range Cattle Adventures
It’s been three weeks since we brought Vibria home, and we think she’s around 11 weeks old now. While we don’t know her exact breed or how big she’ll get, we estimate she’ll grow to be around 10 to 15 lbs based on her current size. Vibria has a big personality and zero fear—she’s quite the confident little pup. Potty training her has been a bit more challenging than it was with Dreugan, but we’re adjusting. Having a small dog again has its learning curve!
Vibria is so tiny that she can easily slip through the fence in our yard, so we’ve set up her own little fenced area within the larger yard to give her a safe space to play and soak up the sun. When we’re outside supervising, she gets to run around in the bigger fenced-in areas and even outside them.
Life out here has its challenges, though—especially when it comes to the free-range cattle. They love to roam, and unfortunately, they have a habit of tearing up our solar lights and getting too close to the solar panels. To keep them away, we’ve set up motion detectors that trigger sounds and lights, but sometimes these deterrents aren’t as effective as we’d like. We could build a fence, but we love the wide-open views, so we usually just go out and herd them away ourselves when they get too close. While we enjoy watching the cattle, we could definitely do without the destruction. We tell them they’re welcome as long as they stay out of our areas—but they don’t seem to listen!

Navigating the Dance with Free-Ranging Cattle: Finding Balance on the Property
This morning greeted us with a serene blanket of snow, a tranquil scene disrupted by the unexpected visit of free-ranging cattle. They made their way onto our property, venturing dangerously close to the solar panels and Music Studio.
Dealing with such encounters has always been a delicate balance. While we appreciate the freedom of the cattle to roam, we also recognize the potential for damage and disruption. Our concern extends not only to our property but also to the well-being of the cattle and our relationship with the rancher.
In the past, we refrained from allowing our dogs to chase the cattle, fearing it might stress them out or create complications with the rancher. However, the need to prevent further damage compelled us to take action. After careful consideration, we reached an agreement: the cattle are welcome to roam the property, but they must steer clear of certain areas, including the vicinity of the solar panels, circle, and buildings. If they encroach upon these spaces, we will intervene to chase them off.
This agreement allows us to strike a balance between respecting the freedom of the cattle and safeguarding our property. It’s a delicate dance, navigating the needs of both parties involved. Ultimately, our goal is to coexist harmoniously with the cattle while minimizing any potential conflicts.
As the snow continues to fall outside, we remain vigilant, ready to uphold our end of the agreement while ensuring the well-being of all involved. In this ever-changing landscape, finding balance is key to maintaining harmony on the property.

“When Cattle Cause Trouble: Seeking Solutions Without Sacrificing Views”
Remember when the free-range cattle paid us a visit, and we thought we were safe because they didn’t cause any damage? We were wrong. They broke a few solar motion lights, bent a few poles, damaged solar lights, and even broke a new security camera we recently installed. Despite setting up alarms to deter them, they seem undeterred now. We need to find a new solution, but we’re not keen on putting up an ugly fence. We prefer the views without one. They even knocked over and broke a limb off the stump that many visitors come to and leave a little something. To learn more about the stump, please visit the website. If anyone has suggestions, we’d love to hear them! We don’t mind the cattle; we just don’t like the damage they do. They are welcome to come close and hang out; just stay away from the solar panels, cameras, poles, and stump.
