I was looking for the story about #16 but I found the one about 122 that I told early this spring instead, so I’m going to paste that one in here today: I talked last week about how slippery it has been in our pasture – especially with a skift of snow on...

Okay, so not long ago we had a cattle drive… We moved about fifty cows and their calves out of the upper field, down our driveway and into the lower trail fields. But first, I need to preface this story by saying that the night prior to us moving the cattle,...

Sunday we had to vaccinate our fall herd and treat a few cows. We did that last fall and I talked about it a little. I was chasing cows, got knocked around a bit and at one point I was pinned against the fence and ended up pretty sore with a lot of shades of...

I don’t have a farm story from this week. I do have a story from just about a year ago. I wanted to talk some about Alex, who was from Chiapas, Mexico, who spent a couple of years working with our family. He was like a brother to our boys (read: they...

Okay, I’m going to confess – I love to go out to eat. Love it. I mean, doesn’t it feel so decadent to have a whole menu of options in front of you to choose from? You can pick anything you want, and someone else will make it! Then someone brings it...
