Well, 2012 has come and gone! Alas, the years do pass by much quicker now, which I know is a sign of aging. I’m not really a New Year’s resolution person but as I waited for my tractor to warm up Monday morning, I was thinking about a few wishes […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
I’m sure the Christmas travelling, visiting, and eating has begun for many of us! My boyfriend/partner was calling it the “12 days of Christmas” since we had started so early this year. I think we all have very little to complain about when you think of the tragedy that is […]
Well, no luck yet in finding our missing heifer. We have continued our search, but still no birds or bones. Strange. Poor Maddie and Marlee definitely are getting a real taste of farming—good and bad. The worst part is not knowing what happened. • • • I spent most of […]
Well, it was pretty much down to the wire but I finished my research report before the Nov. 30 deadline. I have to admit I was getting tired of sitting at the computer, and likely should have added a few things to some of the reports. This way, you will […]
It looks as though winter is here! I was hoping the snow would get me more into the Christmas spirit! I started putting up my outside lights but ended up getting very little done. It takes me a week to get it all dialed in, so it looks like I’ll […]
I was thinking how I wasn’t feeling much like getting into the Christmas spirit—and was blaming it on finances, job security, and all the challenges of life when, in fact, I think it might just be the weather! The little bit of frost we had in our yards has disappeared […]
Well, even though I’m not quite done plowing, I just might be the way things looked and felt earlier this week! I don’t think I’m brave enough to pack myself onto the tractor. I have about a day’s worth of seed to clean, so I think that is what I’ll […]
Hard to believe November is very much upon us. This tends to send me into panic mode. The Emo Agricultural Research Station (EARS) is supposed to be completed by Dec. 1 but I’m just not sure if November has enough days for me this year! I’ve been able to get […]
Well, our final cattle sale for 2012 is behind us. We sold nearly 900 animals on Saturday totalling nearly $700,000. Things went well for this sale, and I think both the sellers and buyers were pleased. The Rainy River Cattlemen’s Association would like to thank everyone who supported our sales […]
I’m sure that I’ve probably written before about the fall being a hard time on my animals. It seems if something is going to die, it will happen now. Turns out that my favourite old cow (“Daisee”) has congestive heart failure and we will have to put here to sleep. […]
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend and really did take the time to think of all that we have to be thankful for! I am thankful for my family (most of them), friends, and the good food we had over the weekend, but I’m also thankful for this […]
We sold 1,735 animals at the Stratton sales barn this past Saturday. It was a long sale and unfortunately we had a few mishaps. Speedy recovery wishes to Kylie Nordin, Angel Nixon, and Alisha Caul. The Internet sale was quite exciting and we sold cattle online! Of course, we appreciate […]
