It was a busy week of cattle sale preparation and selling. If only we could have had the weather from our Thanksgiving weekend. Instead, it ended up making us a wet, slimy, sloppy mess to move cattle around. We are thankful for the cement at our sales barn, and it […]

This weather sure should be making us all very thankful! If only there was a way to keep it especially since by the end of the week, I will have a corral full of calves to be weaned. The forecast doesn’t look so promising, but I am holding out with […]
This is Ontario Agriculture Food Week! October 3 to the 9 is dedicated to celebrating the abundance of food Ontario farmers produce, the people our industry employs, the rural communities supported by Ontario agriculture and the economic engine we fuel. Ontario farmers proudly grow and produce more than 200 different […]
We sold 934 head at the Stratton Sales Barn on Saturday for $1,425,348.76. The hard work and financial support are really proven its worth. The newly installed tag reader had amazing accuracy and tags read quickly. We were slightly short staffed but like always those that show up put in […]
So much happened last week! Bradley and I finished combining spring cereals on Monday and when I came in, I saw that my boyfriend/partner had called. I knew that wasn’t a good sign. I returned the call to find out that I had a dead animal. I was shocked and […]
Well, we cannot complain about this incredible stretch of weather at all. The sun has been incredible and now with the harvest moon there is so much beauty all times of the day. As I look at the forecast there is some precipitation mentioned and it reminded me that there […]
How about this incredible weather? This is perfect working conditions. Breezy, sunny, and dry. There is still a lot of hay being made and many have been commenting on how great It is to still see some nice green standing hay. We have the later season to thank for that. […]
Well, I am double stressed out now with not being able to do nearly as much with one hand. I am sure my mom and Clayton are counting the days until my arm is somewhat more normal. My mom hauled me off to my Dr. appt Tuesday in Thunder Bay. […]
Well, another Emo Fair is behind us! It was a great weekend. We did get some rain but fortunately it wasn’t long lived, and the show continued. I have heard reports of record attendance! The cattle show was excellent!!! I am very proud of all our participants in particular our […]
I think my age is catching up to me. I normally could work well into the night but now I power down. It doesn’t help that last week was our first full week of good weather all summer and we were all making hay. What a huge difference it makes […]
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 […]
