Wow, here we are at the end of July and into our crop tour/open house week. It honestly makes me a little sad. Time goes so fast and summer is much too short. I hope some of you are thinking about attending our crop tour this Thursday (July 27) and/or […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
By now I doubt I have to write how I feel about this weather: rain nearly every day. And truthfully, when people say to me, “Oh, we need a good rain” or “Farmers should be happy with this,” I want to lose it! Making dry hay seems to be becoming […]
We are slowly making some hay though it isn’t an easy task when it rains every day! On Friday morning, we were not expecting any rain and we had nearly half-an-inch at the Emo Agricultural Research Station (EARS). Then they were calling for a storm on Tuesday/Wednesday and it left […]
Although the weather could have co-operated a bit more for all the Canada Day celebrations across the district, it could have been a lot worse! As far as I know, all the events that were happening continued on despite the rain showers. Maddie and Marlee joined Charlie and Levi (the […]
I hope our summer isn’t over already but the forecast sure isn’t looking all that summer-like. Although many people thought we were too dry, last week should have ended most of those fears. On Friday, for instance, my girls had our big work truck stuck out in our tile drained […]
I love summer! I love the warm sunshine, the blue skies, and the green grass. I don’t like to be in the house on these days and you can tell–my housework is slipping. Our 4-H beef club was coming to my house Monday night and I hope they didn’t see […]
Yay! Summer has arrived. I really enjoy the heat, and we are getting plenty of wind to cool you down and keep the bugs away. We had 3.5 mm of rain at home on Friday night although the Emo Agricultural Research Station received 22 mm. Quite a difference. But even […]
Many are talking about needing a nice warm rain and how our mornings are still cool. Both are likely true, but I will take dry, cool days over wet anytime. It will happen–it always does. It is looking like tomorrow we will see some rain and the grass will grow […]
I think we all will agree our weather has been very pleasant lately. Everyone is rushing around with their gardens and lawns, and, of course, you will see the farmers getting out on their land by spreading fertilizer, doing fencing, and getting some seed in the ground. It is a […]
Here is hoping everyone enjoyed Easter weekend. The weather was decent for the most part and it was a great time to get outside! We tackled vaccinating all our cows, calves, and yearlings. Although it was a slow task (with slow-moving cattle), it was a job well-done! I had a […]
Our sales barn training day on Saturday seemed to be a big success. We had a great bunch of people show up and the weather was great! A big thank you to Aaron and Murray for bringing cattle to the barn and Melissa for bringing down her two horses. We […]
We celebrate my dad’s birthday on April 3 every year but this year he was turning 70! He did not want a big celebration but we did end up going out for a pizza Sunday afternoon. He was in his glory since the restaurant sold Nevada tickets and he won […]
