5JP Ranch

Feeding with Jocie today. I’ve moved her up from intern to apprentice.

Cold day for the crew

I’d take breaking ice any day over removing frozen net wrap. Which do you think is worse? Jordan

If you’re a farmer you know that a flowing spring is as good as gold. It’s bitterly cold. The wind chill tomorrow is supposed to be something like -15. All the ponds are frozen but this little spring has stayed flowing. It’s frozen before, and may freeze this weekend, but for now it’s still going and reminding me that sometimes the little things that we don’t normally even notice are big things to be thankful for. Pray for our animals in these upcoming days. We’ve done everything we can to prepare them for the cold but it’s still very dangerous for them, especially the babies. We wholeheartedly care for our animals, trust me when I say it’s not just profits. (All the farmers laugh ) We’ll be out tomorrow in the cold checking on them and making sure they have everything they need but for tonight we’ve done what we can do.

The view down the bunk is one of those moments in ag where everything seems at peace. Doesn’t last long but I always try to breathe that little moment in. Jordan
