FGP Cattle

The ladies are all settled in and ready for the MHA Good as Gold Sale tomorrow.

This is what happens when a farm kid has to recreate his take on a popular work of art. "A Friend in Need" from the dogs playing poker series by CM Coolidge.

That's a wrap. Heading home after another grazing season.

Excited about these Hereford x Gelbvieh ladies. 2 maternal breeds combined into 1 powerhouse.

Combines are rolling - time to bale straw. Wheat for bedding & oat for feed. Thanks to our grain neighbours for letting us bale their straw.

Hauled the first group of ladies out to pasture yesterday with only one casualty. Oops. We are happy to see them go. The ladies are happier to be gone. Two more weeks and the rest should be out of the yard. Just… instagram.com/p/CAXvdixgqCJ/…

And so starts another breeding season. The boys have gone to work.

Lunch time! Benefit of no school - feeding help. Math, science and agriculture class all rolled into one lesson!

Took a brief pause in calving this weekend to start lambing. Calves coming in singles. Lambs coming in pairs.

An afternoon of tagging, ringing and tag team bull dogging

That's a wrap on another pasture season. Heading home for the winter.

A good day at our 4h show. Top 2 in the Hereford inter club class. 4th and 5th in the Elm Creek club all-breed steer class (out of 22 steers)

Tough day for these two at the Carman Fair. One more day to go.

Good start to the show season at Lundar Fair with the help of a neighbour. @DarrylEnns that colour looks good on him!

I think we need a bigger bull

The bull pen is for sale! Come take your pick of these youngsters. Ready to go to work for you.

Cows back from community pasture. Weaning starts this weekend. Big question now: start selling or hold calves to new year.

All moms deserve a special treat on Mother's Day!

Coming home at the end of another season.

First baby of 2015! All warm & cozy & dressed for the weather.
