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. […]
The recent weather has been amazing, and you may have noticed the flurry in the country; from haying, to combining, to hauling manure. This is the kind of weather we have been looking for since the beginning of July! I understand we are going to experience a drastic change by […]
I was lucky enough to head off to the Dryden Fair on Friday with a great group of Rainy River District people and our cattle. We had three trailers and we were feeling so excited as we drove through Fort Frances making our way to the 502. The weather was hit […]
Well, that’s a wrap on the 125th Emo Fall Fair! What an incredible weekend. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. To be honest, the Emo Fair for many of us is just like Christmas and it is over too fast. The clean up is still on, but the fun […]
Hard to believe it is the Emo Fair Week and it’s the 125th Emo Fair! How exciting. I know for many, that may not have the connection to the Fair, it probably doesn’t seem like it is a big deal. It is a big deal! This is an Agriculture Fall […]
Another long weekend is behind us. The days are getting noticeably shorter and I don’t want summer to end. Winter drags on forever but summer just passes us by in a heartbeat. I often think about living someplace where summer is longer but everyone reminds me that those places will […]
Well, I think we were all happy to see the forecast was finally calling for a dry week and before I even got home from work Monday it rained. It wasn’t a crazy amount but plenty enough when you don’t need or want it. I am thinking there will be […]
The weather is not cooperating well to make dry hay, and it is driving me slightly crazy. My mind is programmed that we should be making hay, and I find it difficult to work on something else because my focus is making hay. I found myself a bit stir crazy […]
That was quite a storm that passed through last Friday! At the Research Station we received 40 mm and 31 mm at home. It soaked up quite well, but we do have a few sticky spots to avoid today. I did hear of a few places locally that received some […]
