I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend as much as I did! 3 days at home in decent weather is quite amazing. I did have to spend most of one day catching up on the grass. It was long and thick you would have thought I hadn’t cut it yet […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
This weather… I hope everyone has been able to get out and enjoy it! Mother Nature might be mixed up, as she normally gives dirty weather for Walleye opener, but this weekend was great. I am hearing next weekend for our May long weekend; it will be a different story. […]
Last week they opened the Covid Shot booking to 50 + and I am booked! Though I had a bit of a wait to get through the person on the other end of the line was extremely friendly and helpful. I made it a point to tell them him how […]
My mom was disappointed that she couldn’t find “Moos” in last week’s paper. So, I start to trace back to last week; “did I write it?” Yup, I could remember writing it because I was talking about our Cattle Sale. Next thought: “did I send it in?” That I couldn’t […]
Some of you may recall my mom and Marlee venturing out and bringing home a Billy goat last fall. We were, well I was hoping that only one of our three goats were bred but of course, all three caught. Harlee, our larger goat (Nubian) had two cute little kids […]
OK, I am not finding this weather very enjoyable. The worst part is winter leaving and then returning. I would prefer it to stay and make a permanent exit. We have had approximately 1.5 to 2 inches of rain, but it certainly made a large impact. Everyone is talking about […]
Wow! We really can’t complain about our weather for our Easter Weekend. Other than the wind on Good Friday could translate to 40 days and 40 night of strong winds. That is what my grandma told me for years. It was warm enough for me to take off my long […]
Mother Nature gave us a reminder that it was still March! Though the snow didn’t last long, it did provide us with some moisture. We have certainly been receiving our fair share of wind, which certainly helps to dry things up. The barn yard is staying decent and you could […]
This weather reminds me more of April than March. It is certainly good weather for those who are just starting to get calves. The little drizzle that we received last night has softened things up, but it didn’t leave a bunch of puddles. The barn yard is sticky, but it […]
Well today I am officially back to work every day. I am challenged with our new name – I would like to say EARS, but we are now OCRC – Emo. That isn’t nearly as catchy or easy. I would have liked to have had a better sleep but that […]
Well this is my last week to be a full-time farmer! Time truly flies by. I have mixed feelings about it. I look forward to my scheduled days and of course a regular pay cheque. I seemed to have had a bit of a crazy calving year. It can always […]
March 1 usually brings us longer days and some good heat from the sun. Mind you, it was -27 when I went out this morning! Calves continued to keep me busy last week and as of today I am waiting on the last 10! I did run into some problems […]
