We have 21 🐥 chicks! Our last little guy got shrink wrapped and I peeled him out of his shell. He survived after a night in the incubator to fluff up so his name is Lucky 🍀🐣he has short wing feathers

Listen closely and you’ll hear it:
The low grunts of grazing bison, the rustle of grasses, and the chorus of birds greeting the summer sunrise.
Elk Island’s grasslands are alive with sound, and every note reflects a thriving ecosystem shaped by over a century of bison presence. Protecting these landscapes means supporting the species that depend on them.

They finally get to go where the grass is greener on the other side! Our oats are seeded now too, so bring on the rain! Next we’ll be hauling yearlings to grass for the summer too. So chore season is basically done. We just have finishing pens until they get shipped.

Macey told grandma she was sad we didn’t have chore brunches anymore!

With this heat I bet that feels good crossing that slough with their mommas. The next few days they’re going to get a refreshing cool down🌧️

Our 2700+ lb breeding bull was rocking the chute pretty good. He was tricky to lure in through the corrals but at least he made it in. We had two we threw in the towel and let them back out because it was a waiting game we weren’t winning.
