Life in the Ag Industry: Breeding Season!
http://rancherruth.blogspot.com/2011/05/breeding-season.html
Life in the Ag Industry. Thursday, 26 May 2011. Well, it's official the last 23 cows of our 234 AI (artificial insemination) cows went out to the bull yesterday! After we AI our cows we wait three weeks before sending them out to the bull so that way when they calf next year we know if the calf is sired by the AI bull or the natural bull! Now the 2011 breeding season is in full swing with 409 purebred cows with 11 Hereford bulls. Along with about 165 heifers with 4 bulls. LBH 157K RIBSTONE 40W. If you ha...

Life in the Ag Industry. Monday, 31 October 2011. I'm pretty sure that it was yesterday that I was just about to start my third year of university and I blogged last, but it's actually already the end of October, crazy how time flies! Anyway, it's been forever but not much has really gone on in the last two months besides lots and lots of school work! I am currently in my third year at the University of Lethbridge continuing my pre-vet! I hope all of your life's are going well, no matter what your doing!

Life in the Ag Industry. Saturday, 3 September 2011. It's been a while since I've blogged, life's been busy and the days are very quickly disappearing until I have to go back to school and this thought does not excite me all that much. A few weeks ago now we performed one of my favorite jobs to do on the ranch which included preg testing our cows and heifers! We spent the better part of four days checking if our 612 females are going to have a baby next year, with 450 being cows and 162 heifers. What I L...

Life in the Ag Industry: Boy from Girl
http://rancherruth.blogspot.com/2011/08/boy-from-girl.html
Life in the Ag Industry. Wednesday, 17 August 2011. Our sorting of boy from girl lets us kill two birds with one stone when we pick calves for the field days and it is a precautionary measure to prevent stuff we don't want to happen! 23 August 2011 at 07:32. I am enjoying reading your blog Ruth - I think it is amazing that you all are able to make it to those field days with calves - I was tired out from the trip to Hardisty and I didnt even take cattle! Congratulations on doing so well in Cutknife!

Life in the Ag Industry: June 2011
http://rancherruth.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Life in the Ag Industry. Wednesday, 29 June 2011. Gophers dig holes - They dig them everywhere, making mounds of dirt and tearing up grass. This is an issue in the well being of our cattle, they can hurt themselves if they walk in a gopher hole. It becomes more of an issue during breeding season when they ride each other, it's easier to hurt themselves if they step in a hole while riding. That is a lot! Tuesday, 28 June 2011. Salt (red) and seven way. These supplements are very important to a cows diet, ...

Life in the Ag Industry. Friday, 26 August 2011. After the Hardisty field day which was another wonderful and good day we came home and plowed full swing into silaging! We silaged for four days and covered the pit on Wednesday morning. It makes for a busy few days from about eight in the morning to ten or eleven at night and is a very important time as silage is what we feed in the winter months to our cattle and are their main food. 1 person swathing a bit ahead of the chopper.
