As I write this, the furnace kicked in. We should be wearing shorts and flip flops, not jeans, socks, and sweatshirts. Last week was a disaster. We ended up with 65.6 mm (2.6in) of rain at the Station and just a wee bit more at home. We are now double […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
Once again, I have really enjoyed having three days off and working on my list at home. If the weather had been better and the fields dry, I would have had to work. We are not near finished planting. You may have noticed that most of the north part of […]
It is hard to believe that we have reached the middle of May! It hasn’t been the best weather, and my lawn is still squishy, but we are below normal in rainfall but also below in heat. I am assuming this why we are not drying up very well. Thankfully […]
Well after a busy week last week I am finally able to tackle my income tax. Yes, I know I missed the deadline, but I couldn’t fit it in. It didn’t take me all that long to complete – the more time-consuming thing is verifying my spreadsheet numbers were all correct. […]
What a sale we had at the Stratton Sales Barn on Saturday! It was smokin’ hot. We saw some pretty impressive prices on all classes of cattle. It is nice to see the producers happy with their cattle sales and it is hard for me to not question the auctioneer on […]
Thank you to everyone who came and supported “Street Meat” last week during Emo Spring Fever Days. I appreciate Debbie who organized all the food and everyone else that came and helped work at the event. I am sure those of you that heard me say; “We are trying to […]
I am finding the days going very fast and the weeks are passing me by quickly. We are still organizing seed, trials and weighing out seed as I can. The weighing goes quite quickly it is setting the trials up that takes the time. All our seed that is in […]
It is looking like we are going to see some rain over the next couple of days and though it will certainly makes it messy in the barn yard, it is welcome for our current dry conditions. On Saturday we heard from Teika Newton (International Watershed Coordinator) that the current […]
Here is hoping that you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. For the most part it was decent weather if anyone planned an outdoor hunt! My nieces were out of town but are still expecting an easter hunt when they return. I thought we might be missing out on this […]
Well I made it into the Station part days last week. I have a hard time weaning myself off from watching cows all day long! One morning I was interrupted by a couple of calving cows. Earlier last week I had an older cow in the barn and I noticed […]
Today was my first official day back to researching again. The weather seemed much more appropriate last week. Since I store our chemicals in the lab over winter to keep them from freezing, I hauled them back to their storage and did errands for the day while the chemical smell […]
What a day to kick of the March Break! The sun is shining, and they are predicting quite a warm day for us. I have a big list of jobs that will be better with sunshine; fencing, cleaning my poor dusty truck and some work in the yard. With little […]
