Well, last week was not the greatest for my farm. I had a cow that started losing condition some time after I brought them into the yard for calving. I had Dr. Stacey check her on one of her visits to the farm and she confirmed she must have aborted […]

I think we all would take the weekend weather over the Monday’s snowflakes. I guess we cannot complain because it sounds like the east of us is taking the brunt of it. I was happy to come to work this morning and see our plots for the first time this […]
It one of the Monday-iest Mondays I have had in a long time. I was off on Friday, and I think everyone missed me because it has been non-stop traffic. My list is getting bigger, and I haven’t been checking things off like I need to be. Seed is slowly […]
Well, it has been another busy week. I ended up treating two calves for pneumonia after last weekend’s weather. The heifer calf improved quicker than the steer calf, but I think finally the steer is coming along. Thankfully they continued to nurse the cow but every peek on the camera […]
Well, I am not in the best of moods these days and the weather is a big part of it. (Yes, I know we cannot change that.) Friday night and Saturday’s weather was nothing but a disaster. Wet calves and strong winds are just a recipe for disaster. Thankfully the […]
Sounds like Mother Nature is going to remind us that it isn’t spring yet as the temperature is going to drop a fair bit tonight. It also looks like we could have some moisture in the forecast for the next bit. Like I said before the up and down weather […]
How great is this sunshine at this time of the year? It certainly makes you feel like we are headed in the right direction. I hope it stays cool enough to keep the barn yard frozen but warm enough we can take off some of our layers of clothing. I […]
Well, I should be updating you on my week in Toronto, but I never made it there. I packed up and left for the airport on Monday. I was about 10 km from the airport and my phone was steadily binging. Turns out everyone was trying to tell me that […]
At my 5:00 a.m. cow check Sunday morning I had a heifer calving. I checked the rest of the cows and then put her in the barn. I went to the house and watched for an hour and she started to push pretty good and by 6:00 a.m. she had […]
Well, I am starting to function a bit more but still find my self dizzy, weak and ready for a sleep. I am hoping that it is just a slow process and that I don’t have to head back to the Dr. I have had to ask for help a […]
I am literally writing this update from my bed. I started to not feel great later last week and when I was feeding cows on Thursday afternoon I was fading fast. I felt like death on Saturday and decided to head to the Dr. I do not like taking up […]
We made it…. The long month of January is nearly over. I think we are hoping that the extremely cold weather is over as well. Now, we need to work on getting rid of the wind and winter will be perfect. It is great to see the sun and it […]
