This month is flying by. Like wasn’t last week August? We survived another cattle sale! It was a big one, 1853 head. I felt it went fast; we had few downtimes. I am hoping this reflects the good cattle flow we have with our new facilities. We sold 1853 head […]

When I left work on Friday, I was thankful to have 3 days off! I had some big plans but unfortunately the weather really dampened a lot of my plans. I have had to remind myself multiple times that I said on more than one occasion this summer that I […]
This is Ontario Agriculture Week! Though I think we should celebrate our industry all year long, things are ramped up this week! It is a special time to think about the acres that are cared for by our producers, the abundance of food produced, the employees in our industry, and […]
We successfully held our first cattle sale in our new facilities. For the most part, things went very well. Naturally we found a few things we can improve on and we have three weeks to change a few more things. We sold 1487 animals for $1,798.094.20. It was a pretty […]
Last week was a whirlwind! We were working hard to complete multiple tasks before the Minister’s visit on Thursday. I finally gave up on the fact that getting things all trimmed, mowed and beautiful wasn’t going to happen. In fact, it is the end of the year and the place […]
Last week was a complete blur. I had high hopes of getting all caught back up at the Research Station, but I had many interruptions and things added to an already long list. I was able to work late on Friday and came in with my mom on Sunday. A […]
The September long weekend is already long gone! Many helpful volunteers spent their long weekend at the Sales Barn working hard to try and get the project ready for our sale week. I will be honest, it is going to be tight. Things have really started to come together but […]
The end of August! August is such a fast month for me, and I dread it as I end of missing some days at the Station, the students leave and it is a mad scramble to get plots harvested, seed cleaned, and winter crops planted. We had enough rain that […]
All it took was the Emo Fair to get some much-needed rain. We ended up with ¾” at home and a bit more at the Research Station. I am hearing reports of over 2” in the Rainy River area and that is great. It is nice to see a few […]
Emo Fair week has arrived. Though it might not be exactly like normal it has arrived. I still have big plans of at least making some entries for the exhibit hall. Marlee stayed out last night so she could work on some of her art and picture entries. We thought […]
Well, I am feeling a tad bit overwhelmed today. There is plenty going on, not just for me but for many others. We are dealing with a severe drought and we are losing cow herd numbers daily. We have started to see hay come into the district, but this is […]
August has arrived. The time of year when we often see some hot, dry days. This year we have only seen hot, dry days. The rain even appears on a radar that it is heading our way and it still manage to dissipate or go around us. We ended up […]
