Chatting with a few gentlemen on the elevator. They asked what conference I was attending. I told them @CDNBeefConf and they asked what I did. I told them I was a beef farmer. They all said “Thank you for being a farmer & God Bless” That made my day! #Thankful #CdnBeefConf

@garrett_wolf3 We just drop the bucket & got down the line & back up. When we finish & pull fence lines the girls clean them up.

@CaryKelly11 And you’re telling me this…my background is in range management. Please tell me how many acres of rangeland you’ve managed?

[Jill Burkhardt @Crookedlakecows]

@SandorBogdan14 @CaryKelly11 Yes that was my point. It’s not all the time & varies on the year, soil/moisture conditions, etc. but they are capable of doing it too. Albeit not consistent & not all the time. But saying they don’t do it at all? 🤔

[Jill Burkhardt @Crookedlakecows]

What are guys charging or paying per acre this year for custom spraying? Asking because we do some for neighbors & not wanting to gouge but needing to account for the extra increase in fuel.

Dear Skip the Dishes, you would make so much money if you added rural delivery during May & September. Signed one tired farm wife trying to do it all @SupportSki39352

@gbtangus @narj_15 Every year I say that phrase it bites me in the ass…had 75+ lbs twins yesterday out of a 2nd calver that’s not overly large. Mom’s ok lost both calves. She did it on her own & I was fencing less than 50 yards away & never saw anything until I came over the hill 🤦🏼‍♀️

@garrett_wolf3 Then one day your girls can have one to ride instead of a horse #blameitonthehereford

@munrokg Always enjoyed visiting with Graeme, sad to hear of his passing.

[Jill Burkhardt @Crookedlakecows]

@kowalchukfarms1 Truck calf season for sure!

[Jill Burkhardt @Crookedlakecows]

@lesleyraekelly Calf is ok, got on the wrong side of the fence so we were reuniting him with momma. It’s hard on the little buggers, but I think they’re tougher than we give them credit for being.

@homemakinghunny I have a kitchen Aid mixer that sits 90% of the time & a Zojirushi (sp) bread machine I use 2x a week 🤷‍♀️

[Jill Burkhardt @Crookedlakecows]

@Jeremiahh303 Dex or selenium

[Jill Burkhardt @Crookedlakecows]

@4FAngusBoy Was it stolen or did a pack of coyotes, a wolf or cougar get it? Had a 10 day old calf up & disappear 2 yrs ago, but never found any trace 🤷‍♀️

[Jill Burkhardt @Crookedlakecows]

@CaryKelly11 @JoelSalatin Herbicide doesn’t boost cow days/acre. Proper grazing & rest periods promote it.

[Jill Burkhardt @Crookedlakecows]

@rhofford We’ve had luck with using Dex vs Metacam. Also 2nd the Maddigan squeeze

[Jill Burkhardt @Crookedlakecows]

@garrett_wolf3 May I add carraganas from old homesteads to the list?

[Jill Burkhardt @Crookedlakecows]

@Conrad_DeJong @FoodProfessor $44.07/kg US then convert that to CDN works out to $60.26

@TheDailyCowman They don’t need to be pretty to make a good baby
