I’m sure most of us still are dragging our butts a bit after the change to Daylight Savings Time on Sunday. I know I really didn’t want to give up an hour of sleep when I’m not getting a whole lot as it is. Fortunately, I only have three cows […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
I am so looking forward to warmer days. It doesn’t even have to be summer–just warmer! Even when the temperatures are a bit better, we still have a cold wind. I honestly can say this has been my most worrisome weather for calving. I always have cold weather but normally […]
This winter certainly has been a tough one. Cold and when it’s not cold, we get snow. Be sure to check your roofs! It Temiskaming District, they are having barns collapse frequently. In Thunder Bay, a new dairy barn that the cattle had been in for just three weeks also […]
I’m hoping everyone enjoyed their Family Day weekend! It was a little on the cool side but the sun certainly shone brightly. I was lucky to have Maddie spend most of the weekend with me. We were fairly busy with calves and she really wanted to try and get up […]
The cows are getting closer now to calving so I’ve had to increase my trips to the barn. On Monday, I planned to get another larger area ready so I can put multiple cows in if I don’t have enough room right in the barn. Meanwhile, the three calves that […]
Although I’m thankful that the minus-50 temperatures have left us (for now), I’m not overly happy about the snow and wind. Now that I’m making multiple trips out to the barn, trudging through the snow isn’t that fun. My dad will come over with his trusty snowplow and fix that […]
Last Friday was my mom and dad’s 50th wedding anniversary! I’d say a big accomplishment. For Christmas and their anniversary, we bought them a trip to Nashville as it was something we thought they both would enjoy. While there they attended a game between the Winnipeg Jets and Nashville Predators. […]
The big news of the weekend is the fact that Richard Norman “caught” the ace of spade on Friday night to win a total of $21,711.20. Though we felt a bit disappointed that Round # 5 of the weekly draw was over, we had a goal that we wanted to […]
And here we go . . . back to normal! The first full week of work for 2019. It was a snowy start to the week but it sounds like Thunder Bay was hit harder. No complaints on my end although the snow we did get was heavy so be […]
Monday marked the last day for me to feed cows in 2018–just six months until green grass! The cows are enjoying their last month of freedom as calves will begin arriving around the middle of February. My boyfriend/partner has been packing the yard a bit since the horrible wet fall […]
I finally got through my entire house and cleaned up a pile of dust–all the while realizing I really need to unload some stuff! I have stuff packed away all over the place and this means I am not using it! So I think it is time for a garage […]
By Monday of next week, everyone will be settling in to celebrate the Christmas season. I just hope I’m ready and still not looking for that special gift. I really enjoy gift-giving–provided I have that perfect idea for that person on my list. Meanwhile, my family is frustrated with me […]
