What Do You Do To Relax After a Somewhat Stressful Day?

Nancy Mace — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:30:09 +0000

Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty hectic around the studios. We all wanted to do what we could to assist with the relief efforts for the victims of the Shawnee/Carney and Moore tornadoes. Stress levels were high trying to get everything organized and put together and emotions were all over the scale; from sadness to heart [...]

Spring Cleaning The Barn at The Mace Place

Nancy Mace — Mon, 06 May 2013 15:15:08 +0000

Luckily the vet comes twice a year to preg check our cattle, otherwise the barn would probably never get cleaned. Sunday was the perfect day for cleaning out the barn. All the old hay that had blown into the barn was raked up and hauled off; the concrete got a good cleaning and while we [...]

Nancy Mace — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:27:32 +0000

Yesterday I told you the story of Rowdy, our red heeler/blue heeler mix. He wants to be a good dog, really he does. He redeemed himself yesterday morning. He saved my dog Tooter’s life. I’m not supposed to let Rowdy in the house but every morning he gets to come in and enjoy some family [...]

The Search For The Perfect Sock Has Ended

Nancy Mace — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:15:40 +0000

No disrespect intended but I wanted to send up white smoke last night at The Mace Place. We have found the perfect socks! I am married to one of the pickiest men I know. (He married me after all.) When he finds something he likes he sticks with it; Dickies t-shirts for instance. Well, we [...]

Having a Good Cow Dog On A Cattle Ranch Is Essential

Nancy Mace — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 16:49:25 +0000

Yes, having a good cow dog is essential when running a successful cattle operation. They can help push the cattle down the chute; help to bring them in from the pasture; herd them to where you want them. Rowdy is a blue heeler/red heeler mix. Heelers are great cattle dogs! Rowdy is not that dog. He wants to be but, alas, he is not. Bless his heart.

Babies Being Born and Calves Being Weaned at The Mace Place

Nancy Mace — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 15:15:50 +0000

This is always a busy time of the year at our house. We are weaning the fall born calves from their mommas and the spring babies are being born. I hate weaning and I love calving! I hate weaning because I can’t sleep. The calves and the mommas bawl for each other for about 3-5 [...]

'Get The Chains' – The Words I Hate To Hear The Most During Calving Season

Nancy Mace — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 15:14:45 +0000

Calving season is about half way over at The Mace Place. I love calving season. I can’t decide if I like the spring calving season or the fall calving season. In the spring they can calve when it’s freezing cold, snowing and the wind is blowing a hundred miles an hour. It seems like the [...]

The Mace Family Cookbook

Nancy Mace — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:00:51 +0000

I have an old cookbook from David's great grandmother. I love that cookbook. If I am going to make anything I have to check the Mace Family cookbook for a recipe first. If there is one in there I have to make it over any other recipe I have. I guess that's part of being married to a Mace.

Do You Live Like Your Dog?

Nancy Mace — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 20:31:31 +0000

Are you a Cesar Milan fan? I love his techniques, his attitude, his ability to rehabilitate an animal. He makes me laugh when he wiggles his butt like a dog to show you a certain behavior. Well now he says you need to live like your dog. Here’s why…Everyone knows that owning a dog can [...]

The Peterson Brothers from Kansas are getting more than a little attention for their video parody of LMFAO's "I'm Sexy and I Know It".

And star in viral videos like this one.

Nancy Mace Talks About the Horse Neville Bardos and His Touching Story [VIDEO]

Nancy Mace — Thu, 10 May 2012 17:47:27 +0000

Last night on Rock Center with Brian Williams, Harry Smith reported on a horse by the name of Neville Bardos. Neville was destined for slaughter as he did not make it as a race horse. But lucky for Nev (as he is called in the barn) Boyd Martin came along and bought him for $799.99 at the county fair. Now the two of them are destined for the Olympics in one of the most grueling equestrian events - The Three Day Event - the equivalent of a triathlon for horse and rider!

I don’t know what hit me this week but it hit me like a ton of bricks! I’ve heard there is something going around. We were coming home from Dallas on Sunday when I felt that tickle in my throat and the scratchiness in my ears. Oh I hate getting sick. By Tuesday afternoon I [...]

Calving Season Has Begun At The Mace Place

Nancy Mace — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 19:16:16 +0000

I love this time of year! Of course it comes around twice a year in Oklahoma. It’s fall calving season. David and I don’t run very many cows but we sure do enjoy what some might call being gentleman farmers. We run about 40 momma cows and split them between spring and fall calving. I [...]

Radio Controlled Round-Up [VIDEO]

Nancy Mace — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 13:34:18 +0000

The life of a cow is not all that exciting. Walk around, eat some grass, chew their cud, eat some more grass, drink some water…you get the idea. BUT when something shows up in the pasture that they are unfamiliar with, it’s like the greatest day ever! David and I were checking cattle the other [...]

So God Made a Farmer

Right now it seems pretty bad in Southwest Oklahoma and Northern Texas. Farmers and Ranchers are losing their crops and selling off entire herds because of the drought. We’ll come back, we’re tough! We will look back at the summer of ’11 and talk about how dry it was and how many days we went without [...]

From a Flat Tire to a Fire – A Poem About The Mace Place!

Nancy Mace — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 14:54:08 +0000

Last night when I left work I thought I felt a little “off kilter” but probably because I worked so late last night. Then I heard a strange but familiar noise. NOOOO!! A flat tire on my big truck! I could hardly get the tire out from under the truck. I thought, I can’t do [...]
