June 1st has arrived and today is my boyfriends / partners 60th birthday! We are not planning a big party and it is a good thing since we are still not allowed more than five people to gather! He is pretty busy with his garage so maybe once it is […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
Another great weekend in Rainy River District. We had a small shower of rain that didn’t even record in the rain gauge. But that is ok. June can be a wet month, so we must be careful what we wish for. I have not really got over last falls extreme […]
What a beautiful weekend! I hope you all had a chance to enjoy some of it. Though we had many projects on the go, they were outside, so we still enjoyed this great weather. It must be a record to have such great weather for an entire long weekend! One […]
The news broke last week that our Emo Fall Fair is cancelled. Heartbreaking, but certainly understandable. It will be the first fair that I have missed in my life (or at least I think. . . ) There is a lot of rumblings going on about our 4-H Beef Clubs. […]
Today is my first day with my 2020 helper! Katie Hay is my right-hand helper for this summer at the Emo Agricultural Research Station. I am looking forward to working with her. She told me that she is excited to learn so that just made my day! We should be […]
How about this weather!?! Amazing morning. A bit of rain and you can instantly see the green grass. Just like that I felt like I was feeling calm and relaxed and BOOM – I need to be in three places at once. I am so happy for the producers that […]
Well another week of isolation is behind us. The cool weather should help everyone stay inside. The wind has been nasty and even though the sun is shining brightly the wind ruins the day. I must say though, the wind has dried things up and trust me if you seen […]
I hope that everyone had a great Easter, despite the different times. I know many of you were missing your family and friends. If you are all safe and healthy those are the most important things. We must be thankful that most of us live where we can get outside […]
Well I am officially finished calving! It ended with a boom; one of my cows gave me a set of twins. The first one was a bouncing baby bull and the second one was backwards, so a quick pull brought a little heifer safely into this world. The little bull […]
Here we are; the end of March! And what a month it has been. I hope this finds you all well and still staying home. I am really wanting to believe that us “rural” folk are much smarter about obeying the rules than those in the larger urban centres. I […]
Here is hoping that you are all safe and obeying the rules of self isolation. I believe that we need to take this very seriously as I don’t think any of us want to lose any of our community members because of carelessness. I am thankful that for the most […]
I am not sure about the rest of you, but I was not so happy to see the fresh, blowing snow. I was enjoying the slow loss of snow and looking forward to less ice in the yard. I fell twice this morning because all the snow did was cover […]
