The Cloverbelt Local Food Co-op was here presenting how it could allow all of us to access more local food and even other items. I hope some of you were able to attend one of their sessions. If not, it works like this: items that are for sale are listed […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
Last week seems like just a blur. Our cereal performance data was due Thursday. Although I knew we were cutting things pretty tight, it all went bad when I went to enter the numbers and discovered our 1000 kernel weight machine was giving us false readings. There was no way […]
Though it was a damp morning here in Rainy River District on Monday, we sure cannot complain about the temperatures! It seems odd not to be dressing up in full outdoor gear. I even had to cut my grass again over the weekend—amazing! And my flowers are still blooming. I […]
A couple of my friends purchased a cabin on Off Lake and we went up to celebrate my birthday on Friday night! They have wanted a place for many years and they certainly made a great choice! We had a great time but because of the busy Thanksgiving weekend ahead, […]
Well, I’m hoping the sun will return again! I think we all enjoyed it much more than these dark wet days. We have surpassed normal rainfall amounts for September so I’m hoping that means October will be drier. I certainly need the sunshine to return in order to complete our […]
I checked the weather forecast Monday morning–in hopes of a warm, dry week–and it looks like we will have decent temperatures until the weekend. So enjoy this week and spend as much time as possible out in the sun. Nice days in the fall seem hard to beat. I’m hoping […]
It’s crazy how quickly time is flying by. And even more crazy is how quickly the days are become so short! It sure makes a difference with drying time. Even the slightest amount of rain makes a big impact and you are off the land a lot longer than our […]
Well, the change in weather will have slowed down all the grain getting combined and the hay getting baled. I think we may have been fortunate since I only received just over half-an-inch at home. But as we were travelling into Winnipeg on Sunday, they were getting hammered by rain. […]
Well, another busy weekend is in the books. Our first cattle sale of the fall season was held Saturday at the Stratton sales barn, during which 631 head sold for $830,211.03. Despite cattle prices lower than last year, we still saw some decent prices. In fact, the auctioneer made a […]
Well, another Emo Fair is behind us. We certainly ended up with a pretty decent weekend. The rain could have passed us by Saturday night but like many said, “It wouldn’t be an Emo Fair without rain!” I was happy that it didn’t rain enough to cancel the stock car […]
Here we are the week before the Emo Fair week! Yikes! So much to do and little time to do it. I ended up taking last Friday off and having the girls out to work on “Fair Stuff.” I can honestly say they have trained their calves on their own. […]
I can barely believe it is already August! Time just slips on by. This month started out with an inch of rain but I hope that it will hold off now for a while! Many are finished haying and many (like me) are so close! We lost some time on […]
