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 […]
The longer daylight hours and the sun shining certainly makes us all feel good! I really love the cooler nights and sunny days-it makes for a bit less mud in the yard. Mind you, my dad hauled in some hay for me the other day and it created a “soupy […]
Monday was the first day for 2017 at the Emo Agricultural Research Station (my time off always goes so quickly). I had plans to get caught up on the stack of farm magazines that I subscribe to. That didn’t happen, though at least I can shut the door of the […]
I’m sure you all will know how I feel about the wet weather we were experiencing Monday. We sure don’t need the rain. I was really hoping we would miss it. The temperature was mild enough but it sounds like we are in for a cold snap–and rather quickly, too. […]
Well, February is now a wrap. Time certainly ticks away. The last couple of weeks, I haven’t been real sure of what day it is anyway. I’m starting to look forward to more normal sleep, though that likely won’t happen for another week or so. I’ve been really watching the […]
I had a busy week of calves (on the top day I had seven arrive). That happened to correspond with Canada Agriculture Day, which I celebrated by bringing more beef into the world. I guess it was good that it was warm since I had to recycle them through the […]
Well, my cows caused me some stress earlier this week. I noticed a cow was acting like she was going to calve around 4 p.m. on Sunday, so I went and put her in the barn (I wasn’t worried as it was her third calf). She also was the cow […]
As I was changing my cows to leave for the 4-H leaders’ annual meeting Friday night, I glanced up at the barn camera and noticed I had a heifer calving. My mom had arrived to pick me up but I told her to go on without me as I fully […]
I finally started to feel better by the end of the week and I moved my cows into the yard. They are due to calve next week but some are starting to show a lot of sign, so it is nice having them close and easy to inspect. I was […]
