I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am afraid Christmas is going to be here and I certainly won’t be ready. I keep making a list, but I will have to go somewhere to cross a few things off it. Of course, we picked up our new […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
I am hoping to have things locked up at the Research Station this week. I was thinking I might finish last week but I got side-tracked. The reports have been dropped off at Emo Feed, but I will remind you that nothing was outstanding last year, other than we experienced […]
I didn’t quite meet my goal of having all my Christmas lights up by last Sunday. I ended up having to trouble shoot some of the lights that were up and stopped working after the strong winds on Friday night. Ugh. Christmas lights must be one of the biggest pet […]
I had big plans of getting my cows in and vaccinating this weekend and the weather was perfect. My cows had other plans. As soon as I went to the bush to find and attempt to gather them, they headed off in the opposite direction. Of course, there were a […]
Well now that we are moving into the 20 numbers in November, I am starting to think I best be getting serious about Christmas. Things still seem to be moving slow when it comes to shipping and transporting. Saturday was such a beautiful day that I was thinking Sunday might […]
Well, it looks like winter has arrived. I was still hoping we might be on the edge of the system and I do mean the edge that wasn’t going to get much at all. Friends in Dryden certainly were hit worse, and my step-kid was called to Kenora to work […]
We sold 814 head at our final cattle sale of 2021. What a year it has been! The cattle valued at $894,163.15. We’ve seen some excellent calves go through the ring. The western buyers said we continued to have a high cow market compared to the west. We are pleased […]
By Kim Jo Bliss Would it even have been Halloween without a few snow flurries? At my place he flurries didn’t arrive until after the Trick or Treaters were home enjoying their bag of fun! I had the most kids I have seen in many years; it was great! Sure, […]
I am sure I have likely mentioned before that after I get my annual pay cheque for my calves I like to always try and do an upgrade on the house of some kind. I wasn’t sure what that would be this year but that changed rather quickly. I was […]
This month is flying by. Like wasn’t last week August? We survived another cattle sale! It was a big one, 1853 head. I felt it went fast; we had few downtimes. I am hoping this reflects the good cattle flow we have with our new facilities. We sold 1853 head […]
When I left work on Friday, I was thankful to have 3 days off! I had some big plans but unfortunately the weather really dampened a lot of my plans. I have had to remind myself multiple times that I said on more than one occasion this summer that I […]
This is Ontario Agriculture Week! Though I think we should celebrate our industry all year long, things are ramped up this week! It is a special time to think about the acres that are cared for by our producers, the abundance of food produced, the employees in our industry, and […]
