The newsletter I didn’t want to write
Saturday we put embryos in. I love working cattle, but by the time we’re done, I’m tired and sore. And, making things a little harder, I had to stop and get Finn up and feed him. The girls had been taking the overnight, but I tried to help out starting with the early morning feeding, […]
A Finn story!
I had a busy weekend, and I actually have a couple stories from it. I’ll tell the one about my day on Saturday next week, maybe, but for today, I wanted to talk about Finn. I mentioned before that last December I did something crazy and bought a few draft horses. I’ve always loved them, […]
Finn is born
I think it was last Saturday that I needed to write 30K words to finish a book on time. That’s a lot of words for me. I had just finished and was pretty tired. I figured I’d call it a day, when Julia screamed up the stairs that we needed to go outside right away. […]
Boy, do I have a story for you : )
Okay, so I’ve told you about our Akaushis and how they’re a little…aggressive. (Pie says the difference between the Akaushis and the Angus are that the Akaushis don’t quit. Once they go after you, they don’t stop until they have you.) If you didn’t read last week’s story, you’ll want to read that to get […]
Killer Akaushi
I have a farm story below. It’s one that some of you have read before, but I have a new story I want to tell you next week and you need the background from this one to fully appreciate it. So, farm story below – read at your own risk! : ) I didn’t mention […]
Happy Palm Sunday
Happy Lord’s Day! I know, I don’t usually send an email out on Sundays, but I have a few things I needed to tell you. : ) I do have a devotion below, though, so be sure you scroll down and check it out. First, I wanted to thank you all for your support on […]
I have a baby!
Alright, short story. : ) Yesterday was a crazy day for a lot of reasons, but things had finally quieted down towards evening. The girls had gone to help a neighbor with her horse, when Watson came home and hollered up the stairs, “George, I have a project for you.” Well, I had been working, […]
Which ear do we use?
I have a short farm story for you today. Earlier this spring, we had several calves born on the same day. We had already tagged several when we found another sweet little newborn. This cow was #11 and we weren’t expecting her to be too bad, since she backed up when I got out swinging […]
Horse rescue.
Hey! It’s Jessie again with that farm story I promised you. : ) So, Pie has a German Shephard, Roxie. We sent Roxie to get some training and last Sunday after church we were supposed to go pick her up. Roxie had been Pie’s constant companion and she’d missed her terribly. She was a little […]
Pie and I make a coat
Alright, Jessie again. : ) So, last week I told a story about #28 and #44 who both had calves overnight and somehow (I have NO idea how) they both only wanted #28’s calf. Neither of them would take #44’s calf, even though we brought it over and tried hard to get his mama to […]
