Here we are, the week before Christmas. The common question, “are you ready for the big day?” I am not ready and there is a good chance I won’t be. I am rushing around this morning trying to do last minute things on the farm before I pack up and […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
I was off to Dryden on Saturday to spend the night celebrating Linda Zimmerman’s surprise 40th birthday! Of course, after a lot of good weather it changed on us, and some had troubles getting to Dryden. For those who made it, a great time was had! We celebrated in the […]
Well, I am close to finishing my outside light display! I have something in mind that I would like to make for the barn, but it might be an all-winter project. I didn’t work on it full time this weekend as I wanted to check out Emo Holly Days and […]
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 […]
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 […]
