Happy Canada Day to everyone! I absolutely love Canada and proudly have a very Canadian home office. I have many trinkets and neat things that have been mainly gifted to me after people find out how proudly Canadian I am. It is looking like I will be spending the day […]

Summer has kicked off with quite a show! From a very hot Saturday to a scary storm Sunday. It was a warm day on Saturday to wrangle and shear sheep, but it went well, and I am certainly they are feeling like a million bucks now. I did end up […]
Last weekend’s rain allowed us to catch up on some inside jobs at the Research Station. I was very behind in my field notes and since Monday was a P.D. Day, we had two staff so there were all kinds of odd jobs getting crossed off the list! As you […]
Thankfully we have received a worthwhile amount of rain and even though I am complaining about being cold, the temperature will help to allow the rain to soak in. This will help with pastures, hay and for those that have been watering their lawn. I am still feeling nervous about […]
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 […]
