Washing up her pig at the fair last summer. The fair may be months away but it's FarmHer Raye's hot topic these days! This little peanut shows open class and jumps right in the ring with the adults and giant pigs! No fear here! Already she's hoping for some ribbons! #fair #countyfair #farmgirl #farmkid #agdaily #livestock #petpig #thiskid #gogetter #Mangalitsa #showpig #pork #knowyourfarmer #idaho #idahome #idahopigfarmer #dreaming #lookoutworld #nofear #winner #toughkid #competitor #raisingmorethancrops #bootsandroots

Might be a few days late for #mothersday but few things bring me more joy as a mama than seeing these boys continue our #heritage and the care, passion, and love they have for our livestock . . . . . . #ranch #ranchlife #motherhood #boymom #texas #longhorn #horses #cattle #calf #myhappyplace #agdaily #livestock

Resuming seeding canola last night after the strong winds subsided and a very light shower of rain (0.8mm) settled the dust. In need of a much more substantial rain, which if the forecast is right, will hopefully arrive on Friday. ? . . . #plant18 #seeding #foodinprogress #canola #futurecanolaoil #canolaconnect #farrming #farmlife #aglife #agmorethanever #agproud #agdaily #agriculture #westcndag #caseih #thatsky #dramaticsky #prairiesky #wideopenspaces #outmybackdoor #thisislife #thisismay #hopingforrain

Mini farmer Clayton James slept all night long in his CRIB for the very first time in his 16 months of life Friday night– then he did it AGAIN last night! I'm thinking these long days working outside, helping fence, do chores and work in the garden are doing the trick! #agdaily #iowafarmer #minifarmer #futurefarmer #farmboy #borninabarn #blackangus #cattleman

We both grew up with dirt under our fingernails. We lived between farm fields and towering forests. We like green and growing things a lot. But, we are not exactly the best at the said growing and nurturing of green things. ?? As much as we love working outside, we also love being inside and cuddling on the couch with takeout. Last year our potatoes didn't grow… and our corn didn't pollinate well… and our lettuce went unharvested… and weeding happened rarely. ??? Over the last two weeks we have been slow to get our garden and yard "working" for the summer. Those 30 inches of snow in April bummed us out… and we didnt start seeds inside this year. But, there are some progressions that have been made! ?? We got over 30 new trees planted. Eli put up fencing round the garden plot and I got both annual and perennial flowers planted. ⚘? That's the thing, a yard, a garden and a farm are things that expand and evolve over time. Just like people. Plans will change, we will skip weeding some nights and bunnies will go for the squash. We're betting on being able to figure it out during our lifetime. We have some big plans, and are tweaking some practices from last year… but spring is here and I can't let go of this amazing growing feeling! Thanks for gardening with me, Eli.

I had a friend ask me why we have to brand the cattle, and I honestly didn’t really know. I knew we had to do it, and that it was important, but I wasn’t sure of the details. To me, brandings show such a display of community and commitment to helping your neighbor, but in reality they are definitely a necessity. I’ve got a new blog post up sharing the regulations and information about why cattle are branded. It’s pretty interesting! I found out that our brand has been registered to our family for over 160 years. Amazing! I hope you’ll read this post (click the link in my profile) ?.

We like it when our cows lie down. It means they are calm and relaxed and not stressing out. Stressed cows can turn into unhealthy cows which don’t help in our goal to produce healthy, nutritious beef. So when you see cows lying down, go ahead and assume they’re pretty content. ✌? • • #cowsofinstagram #ranchlife #farmher #spring #redcows #blackcows #myksfarmlife #beefmonth #ksbeef #sendmorerain
