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 […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
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 […]
I think we will all agree that it is COLD! When I was heading to bed last night, I was nervous thinking about what the morning would bring. I was up in the night and though I shouldn’t have, I peaked at the outside temperature. It was -40 and it […]
Well, it was -30 when I left the house for chores this morning and my dog decided she would take the morning off. There was no wind, and the sun is out so it felt decent. Happiness is when you see the water still in a liquid state at all […]
Happy New Year Everyone! I hope that everyone has had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed a little downtime or uptime if that’s what you needed. I started last week getting back in the office for a few hours to get back on track. It is great to take time off […]
As I write this column for the Holiday Paper – I am still not fully decorated, and I am certainly not finished shopping. It may very well be that I will be shopping after Christmas. It is not for the great deals; it is for the lack of time and […]
I have been watching many of my friends deal with heavy snow thinking; “wow can’t believe we have missed that!” Our turn has arrived. I was planning to be at the Station this week, but I haven’t made it there today. I have shoveled off the step twice now and […]
My goal of having my outdoor light display up by December 1st fell short again. I only started my light task on December 1st. I have been very frustrated with my lights so far and have quit early the last two nights. I have pretty much replaced all my lights […]
Yikes! November 25 and only one month left to prepare for the big day. I had good intentions of starting on my outdoor display of lights, but I ended up doing more of the job on my farm list. I planned to spend my evenings in the office working on […]
Well, I am busy summarizing data and trying to create a report at the Station. It is slightly depressing since there are numerous things that worked against all things here this year. First off, a very late spring meant late planting dates, roughly as much as a month later for […]
