@LeightonKolk Always such a great day!

[Dorothy Erickson @TheCowNerd]

@LeightonKolk I've heard these little things actually are the big things....

[Dorothy Erickson @TheCowNerd]

@OShea_Farms Right?!? It's inevitable...

Here's a little J11 to brighten your day.

Proud owner of aforementioned off-centre tag.

Once was lost, but now is found...

After spending an hour looking ALL over for this dropped tagger yesterday, found it lying here plain as day!

@LCT969 OCD tag writers unite!!!

[Dorothy Erickson @TheCowNerd]

Messing up a tag virtually ensures she will be kept back as a replacement heifer - so my off-center mistake can stare me in the face for years to come!!!!

@MohammadHussain Long time Christmas celebrator here....just discussed with my sister this weekend how we both buy things for ourselves, and give them to our husbands to put in our stockings!

[Dorothy Erickson @TheCowNerd]

@LeightonKolk Way to keep your chins up guys!
Glad they didn't 'drone' on too long for you...

[Dorothy Erickson @TheCowNerd]

@jmcartdvm @cornellvet Congratulations Jess!

Thoughts to ponder while cutting hay!

[Mitch Stuart @4FAngusBoy]

Let me preface this by saying I don’t sell mineral

The hay crop in Western Canada looks incredible. Just like it did in 2012. What happened the next winter was a lot of dead and downer cows. Why? Mineral levels in forages were down, often by a lot....

1 tired (out of shape), tongue lolling, happy, working (sort of) cow dog - ☑️

For Father's Day, this guy gets to head out and become a father again (and again and again and again....)

Pulled this calf last night. Paying penance for a bad decision of my past....who decided in fall 2018 to keep the heifer calf with "BIG" marked as birth weight in the calving book?!?

[Dorothy Erickson @TheCowNerd]

The appropriateness of this song coming on after I just chased a group of cows up a long alley on foot cannot be understated

@HerbertLTracy Beautiful Tracy - all the best!

[Dorothy Erickson @TheCowNerd]

Things NOT to say when you arrive to find your wife fixing the haybine:

"Why didn't you call me so I could tell you how to do it quicker?"

[Dorothy Erickson @TheCowNerd]

@DwayneBryant111 You bet!!!
Hey, maybe you guys need to make a trip West?!?

My tractor may not have a buddy seat, but my buddy has a seat in my tractor!

@chuiko2 Lovely! I have never frozen raspberries - do you just freeze them as whole berries? Add anything before freezing?
