    Weekend full of storms

    Much like jigs, our place took the brunt of the storms that passed through NC Kansas this past weekend. Took a pretty heavy toll on the crops, but we're a resilient bunch and we will survive. My father and I did a round of the pastures on 4-wheelers on Sunday morning while everyone else was...

    rain rain go away

    jigs, know how you are feeling. lost half of our wheat crop this weekend and god knows how much of the corn and beans. Hard to believe that we didn't have a single field that wasn't affected by either hail or flooding. speaking of drowning sorrows - we will be hosting the Kansas Hereford...

    Early June in Kansas

    garn, we are located in NC/NW Kansas, about 50 NNE of Hays. We've been really fortunate this year as it comes to rainfall. It was a little wet during calving season, but was certainly manageable. The crops look great though. We will probably be cutting wheat in the next week to 10 days and...

    Timed breeding

    We try a little of everything... We timed AI'd all of our 2, 3, & 4 yr old registered cows this year using the 5 day CoSynch. I read of some really good results coming from this, but this is our first year on the 5 day. But then we also use MGA on our heifers, and a 7 day CoSynch on all of...

    Memorial Day Weekend, part 2

    Glad you enjoyed the pictures Cowsense. All the wheat down here in Kansas is winter wheat, usually start drilling wheat in mid-Sept and harvest in June. We've had similar issues getting the dryland corn and beans in down here, with planting being extended longer than we would have liked due to...

    Memorial Day Weekend, part 2

    I think the wheat has the potential to be really good this year. There is a touch of rust in it but I don't think it's going to have a huge effect on yield. The weather forecast shows mostly upper 80's and low 90's for the next week, and if that holds true we will be cutting wheat before we...

    Was able to spend some time home with the family over Memorial Day weekend. The weekend was also paired with the 60th wedding anniversary of my grandparents. But I always love to drive the pastures and check on how the cows are doing when I'm home. I was able to snap a few pictures, but I...

    Looking for Farm/Ranch Help

    I would just like to say thanks to all the people that referred people to my post. We've been blessed to receive several really good resumes in such a short period of time. It's kind of intimidating when you are in such a rural area and it doesn't seem like their is qualified help anywhere...
