First branding of the 2018 season. Nice looking crop of heifer calves and a pretty good branding crew too! Always so thankful for all the hands that come to get the job done.

Bring on the sunshine and flowers! Well into calving and so thankful for the warmer temps.

Well one positive about this cold weather - it sure is easier to fence a slough when it's frozen! Yep, just because it's winter and there's a nasty windchill, doesn't mean the work stops. Glen Kerr's sloughs are probable the easiest to deal with at this stage, so guess what Saturday afternoon's job was!

Happy May! Finally, I think the nice weather is here to stay! Which means, Round-Up 2014 is just around the corner! Riding and east creek branding on Friday, June 13th with the main herd branding on Saturday, June 14th. Ride out Saturday morning is at 5:00am with breakfast at Curt and Julie's around 7:00/7:30am. Also, between now and the main herd branding we process/brand and ship smaller herds out to pasture so if that is something that you are interested in, you are always welcome to join us! Good food, good times and lots of fun to be had! If you have any further questions feel free to contact Curt (773-6876), Chris (773-7061), Joe (778-0780) or Hugh (773-6706) - always look forward to seeing all of YOU!

It's that time of year again - Spring is proving itself all around us and we've got our first calf on the ground! And to the rest of you also calving, stay safe out there!

Looks like it's gonna be a stellar day out there - may you all have a good one and stay safe!

A long awaited project completed and it's looking pretty spiffy!
