He's here!

HF Torque 171W arrived on PEI yesterday. There were about 15 on the truck that started in Alberta with pickups in Sask and Ont. along the way. We are very pleased with Torque. He is square hipped, strong topped, long spined and walks extremely well. Pictures will follow soon.

finished product!

March 24, 2010
I delivered our navy beans to Maurice Girouard of St. Paul, NB a couple of weeks ago. It has been a learning experience over the last couple of years as growing these white beans organically has been a challenge. Keeping the beans from staining during harvest and battling molds and mildew due to our wet summers has been a full time job! Finally we are seeing a final product. Thanks Maurice.



Our new herdsire, HF Torque 171W arrives on Friday, will post pics when he is rested up.

Congratulations to Justin Ford for showing "Blue", a steer purchased from us to 2nd place and champion Intermediate showman!

a week's worth of ramblings

February 28, 2010
Last Sunday Dad and I went to look at a steer we sold that is going to the PEI Easter Beef Show and Sale. He certainly changed a lot. Will update on how he does. These guys had some awesome I Am Ledgend and Orange Crush calves as well.

It has been about 50 years since there have been dairy cows on this farm but there's one here now. After a crazy heifer nearly killed her calf and another cow went down, we have two calves to feed. I called around and found a great cow that took to both calves r...

Quite a week!

January 29, 2010
We have had fantastic weather this week. Sunshine and temps in the single digits. The only snow is along the hedgerows.
