Blueshank Farms
RR#2 Kensington, PE, Canada

We’re doing some renovating in this historical old family farm home. Floors insulated with old newspapers! This is an ad from THE ISLAND FARMER in 1930. It’s made for some entertaining reading!

Third day of barley harvest in this crazy heat

It’s Saturday night and there is some lamb cooking on the BBQ. Marinated with fresh herbs, garlic and onion. New PEI potatoes on the side. Everything home grown. Mmmm!!!!

Oh! Are you tired big fellas? Maybe you shouldn’t have been on tour at 2:30 this morning. Running willy nilly through the big garden and around the yards in the dark. We don’t know if they were running in the pen feeling good in the cool air or something spooked them. They just took out the whole end solid feeder panel. A temporary steel gate is up and MAYBE the gardener will be ok in a couple years!

First day of silage!

First time Rideau Moms bred Suffolk. These are only a few of them. We think they are doing a pretty good job. Turn up the volume to hear quiet time in the barn.

Last field of grain for #plant20 just a bit of corn left to go now !

Rob setting the drill starting off another field. Happy to be back in the fields social distancing at its best!

Happy Easter! These sextuplets are only seconds old

Hot pink nightgown and barn boots! Can’t get all fussy when there is an early morning emergency in the barn and ya gotta run. 12 babies by 7:00 am. This is the day they were to start. Well over 100 on the ground by last night.

Shearer Amber Petersen and us weren’t the only busy ones today. Walt’s been working hard all day.

Walt.......Have you been into the bag of lamb milk replacer again?

Here we go! First babies of the year. A nice start with lovely purebred Suffolk triplet ewe lambs.
