Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd

I know I have mentioned before on what a great community we live in, but recently I was reminded once again! The thrift shop in Emo donated $2,000 to our beef clubs to help cover the costs of the abattoir and advertising. What a huge gesture that will appreciated by […]

Well, most time after the August long weekend we would be celebrating the end of haying. Not so this year. I would celebrate 3 or 4 days in a row without rain at this point. Our fields are wet, but we continued to cut. I thought we might have a […]

My story is like last week; we need better hay-making weather. The hay that I had cut a week ago on Friday was baled up this Friday and for the first time in my history of hay making, we were leaving ruts in the field. After checking the weather forecast […]

To be honest, I am a little bit stressed out and sad about the lack of hay I have made. I held off cutting until Friday night because we had three inches of rain at my place Sunday and Monday. The tires of the tractor are still wet going across […]

Thank you to those who reached out wondering why I missed a week of Moos. I didn’t! It was the long weekend, so I decided to write my column on Monday night. It is never early when I do it but was all proud to have it completed since short […]

I am not quite sure how long ago this was now, but Wendy Judson tracked me down and asked me if I would consider sitting on the Riverside Foundation Board. She was looking to step down and wanted to have someone from Emo continue on the board. I thought about […]

Hats off to the Rainy River Federation of Agriculture for organizing and hosting a wonderful Ag Day this past Saturday. For those of you that didn’t take time – you really missed out! The event will only grow bigger every year now that things are back on track. Cauls Catering […]
