Pulled the kids from school early yesterday & took advantage of the great weather to move the south pairs home to meet up with the rest of the pairs. Nice to have them close to home & all back together.

#30 informed me that I'm late putting him out for cleanup by getting out of the bull pasture & walked over a mile & stood at the gate where his grp of girls are. I guess he was done waiting.😄 #hornedhereford #offtowork #notwaitinganylonger #boys

Aw, we said goodbye to our dear old Granny Cow early this morning. She was 21yrs old. She originated as a calf out of a pkg of bred hfrs we bought from Don Dubeau so many years ago. She never missed a beat & raised her last calf in 2018. She looked after the hfrs last summer.

Moving the pairs into some native pasture for a week or two to let our tame pastures recoup from the hail storm back on Monday night. They took a beating but at least they'll recover with the rain that came with. The miles of crop in it's path ... not so much. #summer pastures

Livestock producers work tirelessly to keep their animals healthy year round & even harder when we get a polar vortex! From a cow calf producer to our feedlot industry, #respect as feeding thousands vrs hundreds just adds to the fun. #thankyou #staywarm #albertabeefproducers

Ah the weekend warrior hunters. You know, the type that drive up & down the gravel road & shoot off the road with no regard for landowners, livestock & ethical hunters who have asked permission to hunt. 3 shots off the road & oblivious to people in the field. 🤬 #isitoveryet

Considering how much snow was just in this ditch, it's rather sad that it's this dry and dusty. Thankfully the wind is aiding the dust in drying out. 🙄🤦‍♀️ Maybe it will rain now that the cows headed to their calving barn. #maycalving

You sneaky buggers! They found a hole in the fence & discovered the old abandoned rail line & had way too much fun exploring. Had I not seen a couple vanish thru the trees where the line comes across this pasture I might not have found them right away. 🤦‍♀️ #bovineexplorationcrew

The other good thing about drought is you can put new fence through dry sloughs @GraemeFinn1 and utilize child labour to get it done. #sundayfunday #fencing #buildingcharacterandmuscles #poundingposts #tposts #hopingforafloodnextspring

The goal was to keep everyone grazing until Dec despite the drought challenges.Supplementing hay while they graze stockpiled grass is my last card. After that its whiskey in my teacup & silage in the feed wagon What a year! 😂 @GraemeFinn1 @KHolowath #stockpiledgrassbankaccount

9yrs of feeding his May babies for 4H & he has it dialed in. He rolls his own feed & feeds his own projects. He loves the challenge of feeding 5 wt May born calves & he's proud of his cattle & knows what their capable of. He finished these boys very nicely! Ya did good kid!

(1/3) May the rains fall on your pastures & the grass grow belly high. May your calves get fat & sassy & none of your cows be dry. May your horses be sure footed & blessed with good cow sense. May the neighbors lend a hand when it's time to fix the fence.

Well, the swath grazing was a bust for the 2nd yr in a row due to drought but this should keep them happy for a few weeks yet. I'm hoping to graze for 1 more month but time will tell. #notbadfortheyear #nextyear #pallisertrianglefun #fallryefanclub #fallgrazing #hereford

We had to bring the cows home a few weeks ago because the dugout went dry but I'm hoping it will get recharged soon and from the looks of some of our calving pastures, it's a good thing we don't start until May. #gladwestillhavethesnow #bringontherunoff

This old pasture was hammered with hail back on Aug 1st. It's still not overly happy but better than the barley on the other side of the fence. Glad the pairs weren't in here when it hit. There's no shelter. #summergrazing #afterthehail
