From The Farm Friday : n u m b e r 19

So last weekend it decided to rain - yep you read that correctly. Legit rain showers the beginning of February, it is not something you see very often in North Dakota. This in turn made my front yard a skating rink and downright nasty!! So that brings us to Monday when I fell flat on my ass taking Ember out in the morning. Great way to start off the work week.

I have been so busy off the farm this week and Steve and I keep missing each other in passing with everything going on ... so I'm not too sure what has been going on farm-wise.
He did inform me we are up to 52 babies, and I know there have been some cows sold this week. Other than that, I'm clueless.


I hope you have had a good week - I'm looking forward to celebrating Steve's birthday this weekend and having Monday off for Presidents' Day!!

From The Farm Friday : n u m b e r 16

With Monday off from work that week seemed to fly by - and of course seemed more hectic because we lost a day!

Steve attended a few planting and marketing meetings this week; Winter is the time for seminars because most farmers have down time especially if they don't raise livestock.

We do raise livestock, purebred Black Angus cattle to be specific and this past Wednesday we had our first baby - a little heifer calf and she is doing great!!

First Calf of 2016. I guess Ember wasn't too impressed with our new addition. 🐮 She is definitely more timid than our previous shepherds. 📷: Steven. 20|366 #2016mrslaurabeth366 #RoteFarms #EmberRote2016 #EmberRote #gsd

This little lady (#186) was very friendly today. She was born last April from one of our heifers. Her mom is due again in March and she will get bred the last week of April!! 18|366 #2016mrslaurabeth366 #RoteFarms #🐃

I hope you have a wonderful weekend wherever you may be!
