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 […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
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 […]
I am sitting at my desk thinking of what I should share with you this week as I look at my yard camera and it looks like April. Grass appearing through the snow, mud in the driveway and fog. This is crazy and let’s face it, colder weather is just […]
I was feeling like I was doing so well getting things accomplished but it seems like it went south on me! I have high hopes for a good work week coming up. I agreed to help review some grant applications for an agency thinking that it wouldn’t be too much, […]
Now that it has warmed up, we are getting a bit of snow, but I guess that is usually how it works. Though the thermometer appeared more pleasant on Sunday, the wind ruined the day. I toughed it out and convinced my cows to follow me home and I sorted […]
Winter has found us! The crisp air feels good, but the wind isn’t so enjoyable. I was nervous about checking water bowls this morning as I heard the house cracking all night from the cold. I was relieved to find water and not ice. It is more difficult to keep […]
