Grazing Through July

Our Alberta weather continues to entertain us with hail, rain showers, thunderstorms and the sun playing "peek-a-boo". Mother nature has a way to balance "just what we need"  sometimes. The rain has been keeping our pasture lush and moist for the cattle and helping our grazing zones stay fresh and flourished with clover. 

July has been a busy month. The cattle are content and the Canaan Crew  are happy to tend to their ranch chores. Ash and I were also glad to fit in a day of Tracking with our comrades at Red Deer College.

Some random pics from the week.

""Howdy Boss!" Miss Lulu B. Bovine #17 greets me at the gate

A few of the gals share some jokes with me as I put back the gate

  1. Lovely pictures of your land and cattle
    We had a fun time tracking and at Boston Pizza... We learnt patience, that everyday is a new day for us and our dogs! Some are good days and some are a day of learning .
