I spent a good part of my week working on my Research Report. I would say I am three-quarters finished and if I wasn’t so easily distracted, I would likely be finished. Something pops into my mind, and I am off onto something else. I must get back to my […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
Well, the weather has continued to be favourable and with some freezing at night it has made things a little firmer around the barn yard. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings to have some frost before the snow at this point. I was admiring the beautiful sunshiny day and was thinking; […]
I always have big plans to get my Christmas decorations up early so that I could admire them a bit longer, but my month is jammed packed with meetings and events. I didn’t plan on November looking like this. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself, but I am the only […]
Well, we finished our last cattle sale for 2023! I have mixed feelings; part of me is sad that it is over and part of me happy that it is over. The truth is most of us that work that really love it and enjoy every bit of it! We […]
It certainly seems winter had moved in to stay. That was a fast transition. I was complaining about the mud but with these temperatures the mud might not be here for long either. It certainly made us move quickly to get heat on in the water bowls and animals drinking […]
We have another cattle sale behind us! We sold 1226 head for $2,409,104.00. The steer prices were comparable to other sales across the province with heifers a slight bit softer. We changed it up at this sale and sold the feeder cattle first and the cull cows & bulls at […]
I seemed to have gotten behind in August and still haven’t got back on track. Though we are tackling the list of jobs at the Station it seems we are still struggling. I think in the back of everyone’s mind is how long this decent weather is going to last […]
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Weekend and was able to enjoy some great food and fellowship. We celebrated on Sunday night with most of our supper coming grown at home or at least locally. Cousin Brande grew us a delicious turkey! Maddie was off to OFSAA golf in […]
This is Agriculture Food Week across Ontario. Ontario Agriculture Week is dedicated to celebrating the abundance of food our farmers produce, the Ontarians our industry employs, the rural communities we support and the economic engine we fuel. Please take some time to enjoy some Ontario produced food this week and reflect […]
If you stop and think about it this past weekend was one of the few wet weekends, we have had in a long time. I was of course planning on doing good weather projects but when that wasn’t the case, I managed to tackle things in my house that needed […]
Well, this weather could certainly stick around for a couple more months in my eyes. Everything I sit down to write my “Moos” I think I should not talk about the weather, but it affects everything I do. A warm dry, fall is hard to beat. Yesterday we preg. checked […]
I’m writing this on September 11. I know this day is a reminder of the tragedy that happened 22 years ago and none of us will ever forget but today is also my mom’s birthday! My mom is the kindest, hard-working, compassionate, supportive lady. She is an excellent cook, and […]
