Just to let you all know I am still alive and kicking.
It’s still winter here and I have spring fever till I can hardly stand myself. There is way less snow not too much further south and I keep finding reasons to head that way. It just makes it worse because, there, I can see the grass. It might be asleep but at least I am reassured it’s still there, like me.
We’ll soon be moving. Another job offer came back up a couple of days ago that sounds a little more like us than the one we will be taking but we are heading to Saskatchewan just to look at this one, this week some time. 40,000 acres of precious native grass, a couple thousand head of yearling heifers, 360 degrees of horizon, and endless blue sky. Sounds like home. I hope it’s not too good as we have made our commitment. It would have to be pretty spectacular on top of the extra $3,000 a year they have offered us for us to tell the kids we aren’t coming now.
Ooh the badlands! I’m in central SK. Crystal shouldn’t complain, maybe she could swing out this way to visit me and travel down to visit you lol
Sure sounds like a better fit for you and yours.
Oh that sounds much better than closed in fenced areas for sure. But so far away
Black Angus, my favorite! Good luck on the opportunity.
Black Angus aren’t so bad…. less pink eye and sunburned udders. Better than Charolais!
This sounds like a better fit for you, but I’m sure Sherry was hoping you’d take the other job. Better not sell any more horses just yet- you might need them! What part of Saskatchewan is it in?
I can take a good angus over a charolais any day. Apparently they have 30 saddle horses too if we heard right. Close to the Us border, badlands country. It’s pretty there.
Wow. Sounds amazing. Good luck and God bless. ♥
Thanks. Keeping our fingers crossed on this one. We’ll see.
What breed of cattle ? 40,000 acres is bigger than this state.
Been wondering what the heck you been up to. Take lots of photos while you are there so we can get an idea of what it all looks like. Big snow coming tonight. 12-20 inches of heavy wet stuff. Drop in when you have a chance.

Alas, black angus, non of those nice Simmentals, like your girls.
