It seems as though winter had found us and is planning to stick around for a bit. I was planning to leave Lexi at home this morning but she insisted on going for our morning walk but she was very anxious to get in the house when we got back. […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
I can’t believe we are nearly at mid-January! I always remember Nanny telling me “January is a long, cold month.” We haven’t had it to bad for weather but it does look like the more normal January temperatures are returning this week. I am not completely over Christmas. I did […]
Happy New Year friends! I wonder how long it will take me to remember to write 2026? I am still in Christmas mode mostly here but everyday I try and removed some type of decoration that is more related to Christmas and turn things into more of a winter theme. […]
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas, no matter how you choose to celebrate the day! Ours was packed with great food and even better company. I thought it was one of our best suppers; I didn’t overcook the Brussels sprouts and our farm fresh turkey (raised by my […]
I once again find myself feeling stressed because I am not ready for Christmas! I don’t even have my house decorated or tree up yet! This week it will happen but not sure when! I did manage to finish my outside lights despite the cold temperatures and my fingers freezing! […]
Once again I am coming to you from an airport waiting on a delayed flight. It seems normal for me but I always try to remind myself that everything happens for a reason so perhaps it is safer for me to be sitting waiting. This is my last trip until February […]
Yikes: it always seems a bit scary when you see December 1st on your calendar! We are trying to cut back on gifts this year but there are still a few special people that I want to gift something. Honestly, I love giving gifts, it is just figuring out what […]
I am hearing this amazing weather could be ending abruptly. It sure has been enjoyable. We have been warmer than in many parts of the province and I have enjoyed bragging about that. (Which will not likely bite me in the butt.) I have been feeding my cows twice a […]
I am writing you this Moos from the big smoke – Toronto! I am here for a couple of days to attend a few meetings at Queen’s Park. I will be speaking on things like Abattoir Tax Classifications, Breeder Loan Programs and other important things that are pertinent to the […]
Our final cattle sale of the season is behind us. We sold 1,065 head for $3,461,769.83. Again, we had some great Rainy River Raised cattle and we had quite a few animals from both Thunder Bay and Dryden Districts. It is great that they are seeing us as a wonderful […]
It is great that November has arrived and we can still see grass and bare ground. I know that will change soon enough but I am enjoying it while it lasts. The rain last week really just made things slimy and our roads bumpy. Back my way the graders were […]
It was another great weekend in the Rainy River District. The wind was a bit strong, but it really helped to dry things up. It is still sticky on top and where the animals congregate but over all not that bad. I will be happy when I can get my […]
