Exciting chicken news today!!! We decided to work towards our NPIP certification so that we could ship eggs/chicks out of state and sell to other NPIP certified breeders! A couple weeks back we went through an audit/inspection of the farm which we passed. Then today, it was a family affair having every bird tested by a certified tester. Now that the testing and insection is done and passed, we will be given an NPIP number and will be all set to ship!!=D

Fabio here has recently discovered that he's a boy and he likes to strut around and make sure EVERYONE else knows too!🤣

10/21/2024

It's been a while since I was able to spend a few hours in a weekend working dogs! Sako was my "assistant" as always. All the young guns got a go on sheep and calves! Roper has already been used a good bit for real work but it's nice to have a chance to put a bit more of a handle on him. Ice is coming along well now that I'm able to work her a bit harder since the toe has recovered. Cinder blew all my expectations this weekend. I thought I had her pegged one way and then there she goes, proving me wrong!

10/19/2024

Lots of snuggles with all the babies this rainy morning! I'm pretty sure Cinder is the sweetest, and most baby/toddler tolerant dog iv ever had=) she loves the kids.

10/14/2024

RLR Cinder (Slash J Ash x 5H Sako)! Just starting to work with her=)

10/14/2024

A short clip of working Ice! We are taking it easy but I'm excited to be out here working her=)

10/13/2024

I am having so much fun with this girl! It's slow going since she's still recovering from her toe injury but she's a blast!

10/03/2024

Ice is recovering from a toe sprain but I took her for a short spin tonight. It's been a bit since I worked her but she's just as I remember! This tiny little girl is a spit fire! She's a blast to work =)

Road trip! You know how everyone has that friend that talks them into mischief? Well mine are the worst because they talk me into animals!🙈 I went for 1 ram and came home with 3🤦‍♀️ But, it was the last chance to buy from her since she is selling out completely. With these 3 new additions though, my mature paint ram Loki Jr will be looking for a new group of ladies in about a month when we pull him from the ewes. He is pictured in a post below! We have a gorgeous set of retained ewe lambs from him from last year and will keep another set this year. The breeder ram lambs we had posted for sale are by him as well. He did a great job for us, so shoot me a message if your interested!

09/28/2024

Here's a familiar face! Ice is back=) It's been several weeks of planning to get her across the country but shes finally here! It's been about a year since she left but she's fitting right back in. She apparently did forget the "no dogs on the bed" rule though 😅

09/27/2024

Bringing cows up becomes a whole family affair when the kids don't want to take naps!!

09/15/2024

The boys are out with their ladies!! Loki Jr, the paint, has the mature ladies again from last year. We were thrilled with the lamb crop we got and retained most of the ewe lambs from it. So, why not repeat it! The young ram lamb, Spot, has a couple mature ewes but mostly the ewe lambs born this spring. We are excited to see what he produces for us!

09/15/2024

It's been a beautiful weekend to work dogs! Iv quickly found myself with a full line up again....and soon there will be 1 more!!🤫😃

09/14/2024

Roper certainly knows and loves his job!

09/08/2024

The big paint ram, Loki Jr will be covering the mature ewes again this year. Our young guy, Spot (gosh I'm creative with names!😜🤣) will be covering the ewe lambs born this spring who were sired by Loki Jr. Spot wasn't feeling particularly photogenic today🤦‍♀️

09/08/2024

The ewes are all set and ready for rams next weeked!! Sako was my main helper as usual 😘 But, baby Chloe tagged along for the ride and Sakos "baby" Jewel got to do a little on the job training too. It was a mother/daughter effort!

09/03/2024

Short clip of Roper! Roper was getting a bit bored with "school" so I figured I'd throw him in the deep end and see what happened. Being the cowdog that he is, he has a fondness for heeling sheep even when he doesn't need to be doing so. He's gotten a few lectures about that! It was kinda funny seeing him be so careful and holding himself back when it came to getting those 3 whethers in the shed. He may not do things as "pretty" as the border collies do but he is a solid partner!

09/03/2024

Short clip of the tail end of working Jewel! She did so well throughout the work that I figured I'd give her a few more sheep and see how she did=) yesterday she started off with a bit of adrenaline and "look how fast I can run" before settling into her role. Understandably, since this is all new too her. Not today though! She came right out and went to work without the REALLY FAST start she had yesterday! I am loving how fast she wants to work as a team with me and how well she has already found her groove, moving sheep.

09/03/2024

Another good night with the dogs! Roper and Jewel were up to the challenge=) short videos being posted separately.

09/02/2024

RLR Jewel has returned home to the farm! Jewel is a Sako and Yeti puppy. While she has not had any stock training from her previous home, if today was any indication, it won't take long at all to get her going! Iv had the opportunity to work multiple dogs from this cross and the pleasure to watch even more grow into great stockdogs with their family from afar. While her coming home was a suprise, I'm excited to get to work and own another dog from this cross =) Pictures include some shots from today including a group shot of Jewel, momma Sako, and half sister Cinder. I included a picture of Sako and Yeti, as well as Jewels adorable baby pics!

09/01/2024

I get such a kick out of the crests, beards, and feathers on some of these guys and gals! I'm already wishing it was time to hatch eggs again.

08/31/2024

After a few changes of plans, we find ourselves with an extra katahdin ram! Both of these boys are up for discussion. Pick which one you want and il keep the other. BOTH can be registered! Happy to sell with or without papers. These boys were born mid/late February and are ready to go to work. The tan is a light colored badger with a couple white patches. The white has some speckles on his face and light brown patches. Pickup in Fosston MN

Work hard, play hard, relax hard 😅 The life motto of Cinder!

08/08/2024

We are hauling a cow to the vet this morning who is extremely sore. Roper brought the herd up into the the pens and then I tied him up so we could *gently* load the sore cow ourselves. Roper didn't agree with my decision. He was right! The problem with herefords is they sure can be stubborn and this girl was sore enough she didn't want to jump onto the trailer. We finally had to let Roper do it his way since our gentle handling left us getting, quite literally, run through and almost run over in our attempt to stop this cow from running back from the trailer. In our attempt to load her, we tried loading her with a couple other cows. Roper took some pretty nasty hits from both kicks and being charged and trampled. He did things smart but still took way more hits than I ever wanted a year old, green dog to take early in training. Unfortunately we HAD to get this cow to the vet and he was our only way to do it. Needless to say, he's earned himself a gourmet meal after that because she is on the trailer!

08/07/2024

RLR Cinder came home last night! I am lucky enough to have a good friend who took Cinder for me right before I had our baby so Cinder still got to do things while I was focused on my baby. She grew up while she was away!! She fit right back into the mad house with a toddler and baby.

RLR Cinder (Slash J Ash x 5H Sako)! Just starting to work with her=)

A short clip of working Ice! We are taking it easy but I'm excited to be out here working her=)

Roper certainly knows and loves his job!

Had to give Sako a spin too ;) my husband recently told me I needed to tune her up since she blew off a down while he was using her. It's been a few years since Sako has seen a trial field. She's just been doing work here at home and i havnt kept her "tuned up ". Seems I don't really need to! My training wethers, on the other hand, clearly needed a reminder that they can be driven as well as fetched! * excuse the thistles in my training pen!*

A small snippet from some training with Roper yesterday! Roper is a year old and has had very little actual training sessions. Iv mostly only worked with him "on the job". I'm really impressed with this boy!

I can't wait till I can actually get this boy going. The cows were up in the barn so I took the opportunity to give Roper a small exposure with a little job. Everytime iv done this with Roper he has impressed me💖

RLR Cinder (Slash J Ash x 5H Sako)...first time getting to see sheep!

It's playtime!!

Rip got alittle work out in the pasture tonight =)

Back it up!!! This ram decided he really didn't want to acknowledge the WIDE open gate we needed him to walk through. Sako has more patience than I do 😅

Alittle work with Rip last night! Rip is a Sako and Yeti pup=)

This short video may not seem like a big deal but this little bit of work is a huge help! Today I had a chance to video quick but this is normally a mostly 1 person job. Sako puts the cows in the barn, the gate is open and the skidsteer comes in and out with bales while she holds the cows in. This keeps them out of the way of equipment and inside the corral rather than making a break for the open gate. She has learned what the job is and doesn't need help! This same task is repeated for the bull pen as well as the sheep and goat pens. Seems like a small thing but it's a big help!
