A lot better than the 12" of snow in October. The grain guys were pretty stressed out for September/October. We had more rain in 48 hours in September than we had all year. Had some greenfeed down for 6 weeks. Crazy fall.

We pulled cows off 1000 acre pasture we just started renting last year... Dad is 81 and decided he wanted to ride. He put 15+ miles on that day, but left the big riding for me. Hard to believe how much 2 horses saves. A few days this summer I put on 30+ miles when I was alone. The next day we...

Great pics. I suspect that the "digging out" and being out on the ranch is even better therapy than the dogs. Good luck with the recovery. Although I am sure it is good to know things are capably handled at home, you must be a bit nervous that you will be looking for work soon.

These oats are a cover crop over some new alfalfa. I debated cutting them, but it was wet and I didn't want to leave the swaths laying on the alfalfa for weeks waiting for it to dry. We have swath grazed a lot in the past and it is a great way to winter feed. We have moved more to standing...

A pic from my phone Got cattle out of our Meadow Lake place in Oct got the corrals cleaned - took an hour got our Greenfeed all rolled Oct 1 at 2am. 3 hours before an inch of rain. Some cows Cutting Greenfeed https://www.facebook.com/sean.mcgrath.1485/videos/10155130886094624/ Moving some...

Destinee with her 4-H calf - He was a June born calf whose mother died last summer, and the only calf we had weaned by weigh day. He more than doubled his weight. The most important thing was that she did all the work herself. An Owlet Jerusalem Artichoke Harvesting Not all by hand...

It is nice to see kids outside and keeping the ranching operation revved up!

Josie Pashulka and I teach the "farmer AI" course at Lakeland in Vermilion. Josie does the student classes. We do 4 days covering everything from synchronization programs, heat detection, EPD, nutrition, and a whole lot of cow time. this year we tried our first Junior AI course over 2.5 days...

We have been running with our Spring, Winter, Summer simultaneous weather, kids, cows, etc. Thought I would post a few pics for those that are interested. Youngest Daughter's Dance festival in Lloyd (They won Gold and Most Promising) Just a picture Picking Crocuses with the Girls Last AI...

Wow. That's neat.

Nice. Congrats. You will have a lot of good memories of this place...

Haven't posted in a long time. Seems like between kids, 4-H, cows, etc. things have been crazy. After my dad got busted up last fall when he got bucked off his new horse and I now know for sure all the little things he does so I can keep the big picture running. Ever since then I have been...

I like that your outfit has the extra grandchildren (soon to be gate getter) seating. How do you like the gas vs the diesel for feeding?

Glad your tech problems are solved. That was a good photo fix.

Nice. That is a really good extended family day.

Nice. Thanks for that.

Soap, things look your way.

I don't know if we have a site like that here, but our area is generally deficient in Se. We did not pull blood samples, but did livers on all of our post mortems. We actually have a pretty strong mineral program and everything checked out OK. We did have some low levels of Vit E in one of...

Silver, we have a few theories. The cocci definitely opened the door for some other stuff to emerge, although some of the diseases that came through on calves that were vaccinated and boostered for the specific bug (eg: Mannheimia). The other thing we have been working through is whether...
