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.
We were pouring some concrete around the house. Poured this patch then followed the truck to the other side for a while. When I walked back here, she was trowling my sidewalk.
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 $$$
Silage bales! What's in them?
Oats and peas that we seeded, and
Organic Canada thistle
Organic dandelion
Organic shepherds purse
Organic yellow millet
Organic wild mustard
And many more

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?
