I knew the cold weather was going to arrive! But along with the cool temperatures we are seeing the sun, so I am not complaining. Without a horrible wind it really doesn’t feel that bad. It looks like things are warmer by the weekend if the forecasters are correct. I […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
I was planning a farming week, but work is getting in the way. At least early in the week it is. As I sit at the computer all day thinking of all the things I could be doing, and as Lexi brings me 10 million toys to play, I am […]
Meeting in person at 7 p.m. at Our lady of the Way School in Stratton What is often referred to as the longest Month is already half over! And today is one month to my calving start date! I have next week reserved for barn preparation and getting all things […]
We sure had another beautiful week of weather! If this keeps up, I might even start to like winter again. But I am nervous that a month from now as I get closer to calving it will be minus one thousand or something crazy. Maybe not, maybe 2023 is going […]
I said I was taking the holidays off from doing any of my volunteer work with the Cattlemen’s and the Abattoir, but I am not sure that was a good idea. I think it will take me most of this week to get back on track. Yikes. Maybe not the […]
Well, I was supposed to be in Guelph for Monday and Tuesday of this week and the more I thought about it the more it stressed me out. I would have had to leave Sunday and return Wednesday, and the truth is I am not ready for Christmas and the […]
I think I am finished with my outdoor light display. Of course, by the time I finished I already had a set of (new) lights not working. I was going to ignore but that lasted 5 minutes and out I went to take them down. I still need to make […]
It seems that winter has arrived! We were getting spoiled with milder temperatures and now we are reminded that it is time to warm up the truck, wear hats and mitts etc. It is the thing I dislike about most about winter; getting all your clothes on before you leave […]
I wish I could invite you to come check out my Christmas lights but don’t do it! I haven’t started. Next weekend I have that scheduled in. I am sure I could have squeezed in a few hours of decorating, but I didn’t! My mom and spent a good part […]
If you have been involved with any organization, you will know the value of a great bookkeeper. We had a great bookkeeper working with us for the abattoir / Rainy River Meats and she has decided to part with us. We are fortunate that we have found someone to replace […]
It looks as though winter has arrived now. I beat myself up for the first couple of weeks frustrated with all the work that wasn’t finished. Then reality hits and I remind myself that I must work off the farm and you can only do so much on your own. […]
Well, our last sale of the season is in the books. We sold 1221 head for $1,609,625.05. Cow prices were a bit lighter but normal for the market and time of the year. We had another group of excellent quality calves. The calves are looking really sharp right now with […]
