We are grass raising our cattle and they are FAT!! Too fat, actually, so we're working on that. We lost a BIG bull calf last fall, due to Mama being slow to calve since she was overweight I do throw out a few scoops of cubes daily, so I can check everyone out, check for illness or...

The kids and I got home from town last night at dusk to no lights (of course). I got the generator (there's been a rash of thefts lately) out of the garage, the fuel out of the car, looked up and the lights came on. I started jumping up and down, screaming and yelling, doing cheers for the...

Steve dropped our first home raised butcher steer (Hamburger) off yesterday at the processing plant. He was a 23 month old black angus, grass raised, fed grain during weaning only and finished up in a pen on about 18 lbs of grain a day and our grass hay for 30 days. He finished out at 750...

Thanks everyone We saw power trucks last night and this morning...as they drove past the house The good thing is, our lines come right off of the main highway line, so when that's up, we're up too! We had our shutoff turned off, since Steve had to repair the downed line in the yard...

We are FINE, we have hot water, a few lights, TV, computer (thank goodness) and I even have the washing machine hooked up to the generator right now, to take advantage of the 25 mph winds outside to dry bedding I haven't been able to wash-yuck~LOL It's just starting to get OLD. The kerosene...

Oh they are so sweet!

We are (thank goodness) running a generator for the TV, computer, a few lights, chest freezer and fridge now, but it could be WEEKS longer before power is restored in some areas of NW Arkansas. We're still driving over power lines across the road and have not even SEEN a utility truck closer...

Here in NW Arkansas, we're on day 6 of no power, but we have a (new-ouch) larger generator, kerosene heaters, lanterns hot & cold water and other keep us comfy stuff. It could be a few more days to a few more weeks for us. Mia's school just got power back today, but 50,000 peope in NW Arkansas...

It's about 12 miles to the nearest "major" highway and Steve said that a lot of it is still only has room for one car width. I have to take Mia to the Doc today, so we're going to see..

Take a look at the photos I posted of the damage here in NW Arkansas on the ice storm post. Lisa will be lucky if she gets power back that soon. We've been out since yesterday (using a generator for this!) and estimates are 7-10 DAYS for repair. We lost the main line out on the road a few...

Checking in from NW Arkansas, here, otherwise know as "the ice covered he$$". No power since yesterday about noon, state declared disaster area, but, due to the forethought of my super hubby, we have kerosene heaters & extra fuel, lanterns for light, camp stoves for cooking, the fireplace...

I agree Jill. Also, even IF his neighbors were close to him, how many elderly people do you know who would discuss private financial matters even with FAMILY? I'm sorry, but I believe that limiting someone's ability for life sustaining heat in the heart of winter, is criminal...just my two...

I'm so sorry Brandi. I'm trying very hard not to get attached to our steers. Our "Hamburger" and yes, that is his name, is up in a pen for finishing right now. He goes in on Feb. 9th for processing. Our two steers from this year are "T-bone" and "Chuck". Hamburger is cute, bouncy and smarter...

Amen!

After chores and hay moving for cow animals Sunday, Zac, Steve and I took a hike down the back bluff area of the farm... Zac hugging Ceelie, Flying A's Sheza Beausoliel Snip and Zac waiting for Steve to put the tractor away Brandy (Cook's Early Brandy) and Mystic (Flying A Magic's Mystic...

You would hope, that with a trainer with impeccable references, you shouldn't have to do spot checks, but there ya go I did ask my clients to not visit for the first 30 days as a rule. It wasn't that there was EVER anything wrong, just that "Mama and Daddy SAVE ME from the lady that makes...

Wow...just wow.

Oh my goodness, he is huge~LOL He's also adorable and VERY lucky
