I am certain that we could all agree that the weather we had on Friday and Saturday could have continued this week. We have had more rain today than we had all of October. If the apps are correct, we are going to be floating by the weekend. The theme […]

Wow! The Friends of the Abattoir fundraiser was a huge success. I am so proud of the community for coming together and making this event very successful. The feedback about the evening was very positive, and the committee deserves a HUGE pat on the back. The meal was outstanding, and […]
I am trying to get back on track after a few busy days of the cattle sale! This sale was extra busy as I sold some calves as well. We sold 1,826 head for nearly $6 million! ($5,950,004.30) The market has slightly softened from last year but overall, close. I […]
Here’s hoping that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and was able to enjoy a meal with some family and friends. We had the smallest dinner we have had in over 20 years. We had plenty of food, but there were just four of us. It was a little later than […]
I checked the weather for the month of October. It really looked quite good, so I printed it off, and I am going to keep track of how close it is. Despite being short of hay and pasture, the dry conditions this summer were so much more enjoyable than the […]
We sold 1,094 head at our cattle sale on Saturday for a total of $3,630,910.31. Cattle prices have slipped a bit since last fall, but just like the weather, we cannot control that. Unfortunately, the input costs have not slipped. It was still a good sale with excellent quality on […]
Here we are, moving right into a cattle sale week. I had to do a quick run to the barn on Monday to do a quick scale check. They reinforced one of the doors so we wanted to make sure everything was working as it should, and it was. Wednesday […]
I had a touch of frost at home this morning, but it appears the Research Station missed it. That is often the case. I did take the time to cover some of my favorite flowers last night because it looks like we just have a couple of cool nights and […]
I can’t believe that it seems like September has just arrived and now we are nearing the middle of the month. Time surely flies. It has been a very busy time, and the list is long. I had a successful weekend, but of course I have some high expectations going […]
Wow, the beginning of September has arrived. Really, our weather has been pretty incredible. The rain that we have had won’t matter much for our conditions this year, but it should help us out long term. I have managed to keep my cows happy with the little bit of grass […]
I am disappointed how quickly our days are shortening. You can really feel fall in the mornings now as well. I hope we have a long, enjoyable fall because spring was long and cold and summer was short. I am a bit nervous because after our last drought we had […]
I feel like one of the best weekends of our year just passed by so quickly! At our barn cleanup, one of the members said to me, “I am already excited for the next Emo Fair.” It is just like Christmas with a lot of prep and excitement and then […]
