Books are one of my favourite gifts to give my children on special occasions. Sometimes it may be a book to read together and other times it may be an activity or sticker book. I like to write a little note inside so that we will remember when they received it as books can be treasured forever! I still have some of my mom’s special books which we are now reading to my children. Time reading together is precious!

Ranching with Kids
What a busy week and it’s not over yet! Between What a busy week and it’s not over yet! Between hauling square bales, moving sheep fence, helping the boys with their show projects, checking hay, running the boys back and forth to the tractor for their “turns” baling hay, beef deliveries, tending to the garden, and doing all the other mom tasks, every day has been full. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. Being a mom on the ranch to three incredible boys is so special. Watching their keenness, enthusiasm and love of life is the reason why I do what I do. However. I have to admit, I am not sure how to keep up to their energy level sometimes. They don’t tire out!
We check the cattle on our summer pastures on a re We check the cattle on our summer pastures on a regular basis throughout the entire summer. This is important so that we can ensure that the animals are healthy and have adequate water and salt.  It is also very necessary to check the condition of the pasture to help us determine when the cattle need to be moved to maintain, and often to continue to improve, the land and the grassland ecosystem.
Recently I got stuck trying to figure out how to s Recently I got stuck trying to figure out how to stop some predators from continuously trying to take our lambs. I felt like I was constantly getting discouraged as we couldn't stop the lambs from getting out of their fenced pasture.  Then, I reflected on what I have been learning on social media by watching other sheep producers. This gave me a fresh outlook and I was able to figure out a new solution for all of the sheep to help better manage their large pasture and keep the lambs contained.  Everything changed, and all it took was a new perspective.  I didn't need to continue doing things the way that I had been.  Sometimes we just need a new perspective. Do you agree?
I will be the first to say that I was a bit scepti I will be the first to say that I was a bit sceptical about using electric fence for our sheep as I haven’t had the best experience in the past.  However, I am now 100% confident in using it while increasing our grazing potential for sheep on our operation. We currently use 2 sets of the electronet with the energizer from @fencefast_ .  I was amazed with how well it is keeping the sheep in, even when it is placed within tall grass. It is helping to protect the ewes with lambs from predators and allowing us to rotational graze the pasture. We are resting some areas of the pasture that have been grazed heavier and grazing areas that have a lot of grass that needs to be used.
You know what’s on my mind today? Summer! If I h You know what’s on my mind today? Summer! If I had to pick my absolute favourite thing about summer, it would be: the flexibility of summer days! Some days we are checking cows on pastures and other days the boys and I are delivering meals to hayfields.  Luckily, summer is here! How about you? What is your #1 favourite thing about summer?
