Last week we had a beautiful day for preg checking the cowherd. Overall, it went very well. We always expect a few cows will not be pregnant and/or have a late due date. Of course, we had a few but all of our top cows are bred to be on time and the boys’ special cows are all pregnant. It was cute watching the boys wait in anticipation for our vet to confirm that Fancy is bred on time! That was the biggest relief of the day for the boys.

Today, we took a bit of a break to catch up on things around the house after a couple busy weeks. The boys and I worked on their school and then we pounded a few posts for our garden in the afternoon. At the end of the day, we did chores and had a nice roast beef supper. The days and weeks are going by fast. A thumbs up for who agrees that time needs to slow down!

Fall is such a beautiful time on the ranch. Even though it is also a busy very time, we luckily get to be outside every day enjoying the best of season. Early mornings and late evening of moving cattle with my family are moments I am forever grateful for. What are your favourite moments of fall?

Need a little boost for your Wednesday? How about this: The more you observe, the more you see. The more you see, the more you know. The more you know, the more you dream. And dreaming? Dreaming makes us feel alive. Let's continue to dream BIG. Share this post with someone that you think needs to hear this today, too!

Did you know that we use horn weights to curve the horns on our bulls? How do we know when to take the horn weights off? Once the top of the horn has turned enough that the tip of the horn is parallel with the middle of the ear, we will take the weight off. Sometimes, one side will need to be taken off before the other so it sometimes involves two trips through the cattle squeeze. So the next time you see a cow or bull, check out to see if its horns have been curved.

Happy September!! In August, my days were filled with watching forest fires and preparing our ranch in case of a fire, supporting other ranchers who are being impacted by fires, moving the sheep fence, checking cattle, doing the morning and evening chores and enjoying summer days with the boys. It wasn’t exactly been a typical August, but we are making memories none the less. Looking forward to making more memories in September!
