What a sale we had at the Stratton Sales Barn on Saturday! It was smokin’ hot. We saw some pretty impressive prices on all classes of cattle. It is nice to see the producers happy with their cattle sales and it is hard for me to not question the auctioneer on […]

Thank you to everyone who came and supported “Street Meat” last week during Emo Spring Fever Days. I appreciate Debbie who organized all the food and everyone else that came and helped work at the event. I am sure those of you that heard me say; “We are trying to […]
I am finding the days going very fast and the weeks are passing me by quickly. We are still organizing seed, trials and weighing out seed as I can. The weighing goes quite quickly it is setting the trials up that takes the time. All our seed that is in […]
It is looking like we are going to see some rain over the next couple of days and though it will certainly makes it messy in the barn yard, it is welcome for our current dry conditions. On Saturday we heard from Teika Newton (International Watershed Coordinator) that the current […]
Here is hoping that you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. For the most part it was decent weather if anyone planned an outdoor hunt! My nieces were out of town but are still expecting an easter hunt when they return. I thought we might be missing out on this […]
Well I made it into the Station part days last week. I have a hard time weaning myself off from watching cows all day long! One morning I was interrupted by a couple of calving cows. Earlier last week I had an older cow in the barn and I noticed […]
Today was my first official day back to researching again. The weather seemed much more appropriate last week. Since I store our chemicals in the lab over winter to keep them from freezing, I hauled them back to their storage and did errands for the day while the chemical smell […]
What a day to kick of the March Break! The sun is shining, and they are predicting quite a warm day for us. I have a big list of jobs that will be better with sunshine; fencing, cleaning my poor dusty truck and some work in the yard. With little […]
I am hoping that this miserable weather we have had these last couple of days in our “March coming in like a lion” and it is smooth sailing from here on out. If we never see that kind of wind again it won’t hurt my feeling any. We ended up […]
We had a couple hours of winter this morning as the snow was blowing around. I spread fresh straw yesterday which takes a fair bit of time and sweat and so of course the snow had to come in and make a mess of that. The wind helps the calves find […]
We couldn’t ask for better weather for Family Day! A great day to get outside. I expected to be on my way to Toronto for the Beef Farmers of Ontario AGM. My boyfriend / partner ended up not feeling good and ended up in the hospital. They are planning on […]
There are a couple of significant dates worth mentioning. Did you realize that last week the Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) has calculated that by February 9th, 2024, a Canadian household of average income will have earned enough to pay for their entire year’s grocery bill, which lands on the […]
