Winter Beef

Winter is finally here!



Its been pretty slow in arriving this year



These picture were taken on the day we went and picked our Christmas tree. Usually we go snowmobiling to get it, but not this year!



Other years we have had to slog through really deep snow to find the right one.



Our girls have arrived too!


We just bought a small herd of Red Angus crosses



Matt is pretty thrilled to have them. They are actually getting a little spoiled!



If Matt is around they get some grain for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, bedtime snack....




No. 9 (Flossy) is the favourite around here. She was likely a bucket baby and is curious and nosy and has a deep interest in buckets.





She is the smallest of the bunch, possibly stunted in her growth a little, but we really like her.



Its really homey to be able to look out my window and see them out there



I can't quite tell them all apart, but Matt has got there markings and temperaments all figured out





Bucket loving #9



Tonka is back in her natural habitat now that there is snow


And I am have having lots of fun with little Milo. He is catching onto the games we play and is just the cutest little thing. He even held his feet up on the jack-stand so I could "trim" them yesterday.



He is looking pretty bum high at the moment. Grow little guy, grow!
