Here we are in June and here we are waiting for rain. You know from my past comments I am not one to wish for rain, but as I see the pastures and hay slowing down, I am starting to get a bit nervous. It is all too familiar from […]

It looks like we are moving into summer like this week, and we will all be hoping the wind is more bearable. It was cold last week, and you may have noticed that your lawn did not grow much. This is the same for our pastures. I think I may […]
So, our long weekend in May is coming to a close. It certainly wasn’t a warm weekend but it wasn’t wet either. The weather worked in my favour as I had many jobs to do that required me being inside. I managed to tackle the jobs that were the most […]
First thing my mom said last week on “paper day”; “Did you not write for the paper?” I said I think I did. I looked back at my sent emails and could not see that I sent it in. Turns out that I did indeed write but I never sent […]
Well, we had a great cattle sale this past Saturday! We sold 1,547 head for $4,610,188.81. It was incredible and the office staff said it was the first time they ever had the producers pick up their statements and were very pleased. It was the first time I ever wrote […]
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 […]
