I am hearing this amazing weather could be ending abruptly. It sure has been enjoyable. We have been warmer than in many parts of the province and I have enjoyed bragging about that. (Which will not likely bite me in the butt.) I have been feeding my cows twice a […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
I am writing you this Moos from the big smoke – Toronto! I am here for a couple of days to attend a few meetings at Queen’s Park. I will be speaking on things like Abattoir Tax Classifications, Breeder Loan Programs and other important things that are pertinent to the […]
Our final cattle sale of the season is behind us. We sold 1,065 head for $3,461,769.83. Again, we had some great Rainy River Raised cattle and we had quite a few animals from both Thunder Bay and Dryden Districts. It is great that they are seeing us as a wonderful […]
It is great that November has arrived and we can still see grass and bare ground. I know that will change soon enough but I am enjoying it while it lasts. The rain last week really just made things slimy and our roads bumpy. Back my way the graders were […]
It was another great weekend in the Rainy River District. The wind was a bit strong, but it really helped to dry things up. It is still sticky on top and where the animals congregate but over all not that bad. I will be happy when I can get my […]
Another successful Cattle Sale is behind us. We sold 1544 head for a total of $5,332,698.73. I haven’t taken the time to compare it to our last sale, but I think the prices were a bit softer but still good compared to past years. Like I say every sale, this […]
I am hoping that everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend! Now, after three days of eating, visiting it is time to get back to business. I was able to get my cows and calves home on Friday night. They will come for hay and this time of the year and […]
We have certainly experienced a weather change, and we could have done without the crazy winds yesterday, but the sun looks like it is going to bless us again this week! It looks like it’s more moderate temperatures, but we will take it! It looks to be a great working […]
We had an incredible cattle sale this weekend. We sold 1,078 for $3,950,699.24. It was amazing and I can’t even explain how well deserved this is for the cow/calf producer. It has been many years coming. My mom recalls having a steer calf in the top pen at the Sales […]
Here we are; sales barn week. I could have been travelling to and from Guelph as we had a BFO board meeting today but I was able to join by zoom. Our meeting was long but when I logged out a 4 p.m. I wasn’t rushing to catch a plane […]
Wow, the middle of September has arrived! I am very thankful that the good weather has returned, and it wouldn’t mind if this stayed until Christmas! I had a busy week at work, and I am even more excited that this week I will have a helper! I have high […]
It looks as though we might be back to some decent weather. I am disappointed that we had such an early frost at home. I did cover some of my plants, but the pumpkin plants are done, and I was hoping they had a few weeks ahead of them yet. […]
