Small fixes or big fixes on small things today…

More spring stuff. #kittens

The sound of spring

May pasture peas going in

@4FAngusBoy You want to sell that bale? #askingforafriend

I left the core of a hay bale for the cows to chew on They pushed it past the electric fence into the creek because I guess they didn’t like that kind of hay Reason #539

@_kaitoney Our cows will graze out to -40 and colder as long as we make sure they are getting enough energy. In fact most of our cows prefer to graze. Most of our beef cows have never been in a building in their lifetime. For the record freezing is not cold.

@grassncows In this cold weather, do you still need to graze your livestock?

I was really hoping to de done with earflaps. On the bright side since it is still winter I am probably caught up…

@_kaitoney They have been grazing for about a month already.

@grassncows There's still unmelted snow on the car windows. You probably don't need to go out to graze your livestock at this time, right?

@ShawnJacula 8/100ths here #almostatenth

Please not another season of this…

Seed delivery day. #millborn #covercrop Will be rolling out to customers over the next few days…

@Nebraskero One of the unusual competitive advantages of our operation is my 89 year old dad who has a complete understanding of that change and "nearly?" every conceivable challenge we might face. #historyrepeats

I do think I’ve seen a lot of change in farming operations in the last 14 years… But my 89 year old neighbor, who started his farming career with draft horses, is out doing fieldwork with a couple 8RX’s.

@kowalchukfarms1 I think it says something about adding value. While there are economies of scale, the Monnette farm was not adding value over and above the folks farming before. They were consolidating risk as well as land…

It says less about the health of the prairie Ag sector and more about an unsustainable business model We’ve seen it on a smaller scale for many years in our communities, A farm grows too fast through borrowed cash, hires everything out and eventually it catches up to them…

Rancher mechanics. Is this how the grain guys do it? #sawzallforthewin

New specs for the deck truck. #thiscattlemarketiscrazy

@4FAngusBoy I don't know. If they were all the same, I might know what the heck I was doing by now... Maybe we are just different #slowlearner

Every spring I say “this year will be different” Every spring I’m wrong

Snow geese eating my winter Triticale

Missed the muley doe, but got the eagle, elk and some rabbits tonight…

@CRToney2 That seems very familiar…

@grassncows If he does it has >500,000 kms and is red.

An epic last move home from University today…

@CRToney2 Needs a crappier truck…

@grassncows My oldest is done too. Not as epic.
