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 […]
I am hoping that the nasty wind that appeared March 1 counts as “March coming in like a lion” and things are only going to be better from here. I can’t really complain though because really the weather has been pretty decent. Calving has been steady, and I have appreciated […]
Well a lot has happened since the last week of “Moos!” Calving is in full swing and as I write this, I am up to 17. Yesterday I had a cow calving and I like to always see the feet coming and in the right direction. Though I couldn’t see […]
I am hoping that everyone enjoyed their “Family Day!” I know some wee busy working, as it isn’t a holiday for everyone. The weather was decent so at least everyone might be able to get outside and enjoy some fresh air! I have started to calve! I was right, I […]
It was a great weekend to get outside and enjoy some sunshine. Although I spent a lot of Saturday filling up hay feeders, it was still enjoyable to be outside. Sunday was great. I went for a snowmobile ride and for the first time in my 50 years, I made […]
My cows are moved home and into the calving yard. We are 10 days from the official due date. My biggest worry right now is the fact the wet fall didn’t allow for the work to be completed to level off the yard. There are some humps and bumps and […]
Well as I started this month my calendar didn’t look that busy, but it sure seems like it has been a whirlwind. The thing that keeps getting put off my list is the housework. The darn stuff waits for you. It won’t be happening this week either, as I am […]
