I Don’t Want to Live in a Kennel!

Posted on April 4, 2012 by cattlebaroness

A few weeks ago, in the midst of a thunderstorm, Mike brought home a little Angus bull to join our cowshed babies. He named him Stormy and, being fond of movies from the 40s and 50s, I cannot see the … Continue reading →

Yeah, So Let’s Talk Turkey!

Posted on March 29, 2012 by cattlebaroness

I spent the day yesterday busily completing odd jobs around the farm. I put some bookcases together that arrived a few days ago and took one step closer to organizing the house. I also assembled a park bench for the … Continue reading →

Posted on March 27, 2012 by cattlebaroness

My excitement over the arrival of the turkey chicks yesterday was dampened by their non-arrival. Mike even went to the Post Office to pick up some other parcels and inquired about them. Nope. They got in chickens, ducks, and geese … Continue reading →

Ch-ch-ch-changes!

My Love Affair with John Deere

Posted on March 20, 2012 by cattlebaroness

It itches; it is uncomfortable; it is bumpy and red. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am sunburned! It was 80F degrees here yesterday. Unbelieveably warm for March. So I put on summer clothes to work. Only one problem…I forgot the … Continue reading →
