Privileged to be one of the 20 breeders who were able to purchase a semen package on this bull. Excited to see the results!

The new sale facility is warming up with a fresh coat of spray foam!!

Rain, snow or preferably sunshine, it should be comfortable on March 2nd.

We stopped traffic today to move the cows to a new field of stalks.

We enjoyed having Nate Stokes from Lawrence-Nelson shadowing today. As part of their mentoring program the students choose a mentor for the semester. They shadow their mentor and create a presentation about their experience as well as a research topic in the related field of study. Nate said he plans to research the EPD’s of differing breeds of cattle.

Today, he and Cole tattooed and collected DNA samples of the bulls that will be in our sale this spring. We enjoyed having Nate and look forward to presentation day at the school in December.

“Maternity Leave” is officially over. Cole put me back to work this weekend gathering pairs for weaning. Krew was happy too because he got to spend a lot of time with his grandmas!!

Krew and mom got out of the house last week to check on cows with dad. Everyone was enjoying their serving of milk, the calves and Krew!!

We haven’t been the best at making posts this summer. We’ve had a new bull calf keeping us busy! From remodeling the house prior to his arrival, to adjusting to having a new addition at home, it’s been a whirlwind.

We’ve received some good rains recently. Enough to make Cole fix fence in his un**es (the waders got too hot)😂😂. Very thankful for the wet summer thus far!

We enjoyed this beautiful Sunday checking on the crops and cattle, and ended it by swinging our clubs at Red Cloud Golf Club.

Cole was the field delivery man today!

A little late for Arbor Day, but we did our part in planting trees this weekend. We planted a couple new windbreaks and replaced some dead trees in the windbreaks we planted last spring. There wasn’t much room in the ranger for Sage (the dog) to tag along, but she made do!

We synced up the cows for breeding this year. Thank you Cliff Mazour and Brooke Faimon Mazour for helping us get them all bred! Now, do we head to grass right away or give it more time to recover from last summer? What are you doing at your place?

Cole put me to work on the farming side of the operation tonight. He’s checking on a late calver and trusts me to keep the rows straight. Here’s to the beginning of being a full time farm wife.

Branding and vaccinating the calves today! Our helpers weren’t big fans of the camera but I’m going to give them a shoutout anyway😜. Thanks for your help Weston Winkers, Garrett Schroer, Jace Hoellting, and Jack Williams.

The prep for breeding has begun. We ran the cows through to place cidrs yesterday. It was a gorgeous day to be outside.

Keeping the cows in good condition while they take care of their new babies and wait for green grass! Hauling alfalfa so we can grind hay again, tomorrow.
