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. […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
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 […]
Another successful Cattle Sale is behind us. We sold 1544 head for a total of $5,332,698.73. I haven’t taken the time to compare it to our last sale, but I think the prices were a bit softer but still good compared to past years. Like I say every sale, this […]
I am hoping that everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend! Now, after three days of eating, visiting it is time to get back to business. I was able to get my cows and calves home on Friday night. They will come for hay and this time of the year and […]
