She’s 82. Was out here in the dark at 7:00 watering the pens for dust control. Sorted and worked cows beside us for 11 hrs. Never missed a beat!
Not because we asked or expected anything from her, but she’s quietly adding to the legend that is my #grandma
Poor cows, they're going to get lost in here.
We seeded 1/3 of our acres back to pasture in spring '25 and another 3rd this spring. We're intensively grazing pairs here at 2x normal stocking rate and we're not even close to having enough animals here yet. #sendcows
Let's take a walk through our pairs.
Also, we've got 9 trees on this ranch, and 5 of them are in this video #forest

There's no snow so I don't know where this water is coming from. But good to see! Also found alfalfa waking up. March 6

Let's celebrate, We've got a birthday this week! Buckle up, I'm about to unload "some" of the photos from my grandma folder for her 87th this week.
Here she is with her chainsaw. Cutting some sheathing off the barn into sizes she can handle. She was 85 then.

Everytime that white box behind the combine tips, it's leaving a pile of chaff and seeds. Our cow-calf pairs and bred heifers will be through here this week to convert that pile into $$$

I needed an extra long broom handle. Found this in the shop, asked grandma if I could steal it, not knowing what it was from.
She said yes, and said it's a tent pole.
Tent pole, from what?
My great grandpa would drive cattle from here to meadow lake (460 km), slept in tents!
Got this XCN and NAV 500 with an ez steer. Moved the whole system from tractor to swather and the ez dropped off and it won't find it again. Any suggestions?
Same spot, different angle, and few months apart. But it's funny how 12' deep snowbanks can help grow the forage.
Now, to get tree rows across all of my acres...🤔

Question for cattle folks. We got a few dugouts made. The sides of these seem too steep to me, but the ends are acceptable for cattle to go in/out. Do steep sides like this lead to drowned cattle or would they find their way to the end? Picture it either full or 3/4 full

First time we've ever put up wet feed on this operation. Well...at least this is the first time we intended to put it up wet.
Fall rye question. We grazed this hard and now the herd has moved on. I'd like to spray it and let the rye come back. How the heck do you stage it after a hard graze? Just spray?
May is the month where our forage and human resources are the tightest. Planted fall rye next to our calving pasture and had a new water hole dug last fall too...voila! Easiest month of calving since we started in cattle! #winning

First calf from the cowherd. I'm always amazed when the face markings of dam and calf are almost identical. 👌🏼
When Happy wanted the chq from his first tourny before he left the course...
That's how I felt while waiting in the office of G3 after delivering a 3-ton worth of lightweight feed barley.

Here's another, there's approx 250 round bales in this image, how many can you spot? In the foreground is the top of portable drill stem panels...buried!
There's a 5' fence in this entire video, but you can hardly see any of it. 8' slabs above the water bowl. That red thing is the water bowl...#letitsnow
