Them wolves are certainly an issue, since mid summer there has been a confirmed 15 wolves shot or trapped here in roughly a 4 mile radius. There is still several left by the amount of tracks, most everyone has lost cattle to wolves some more than others. If there is evidence of a predator kill...

1min 3sec longer daylight tomorrow for here.

The Market is good!

-25c here this am, at least when the sun is out there is some heat to it now. Back around 2000 there was an influx of ranchers from Alberta, some lasted a couple of years, others didn’t make it through BSE and that hangover. 20 plus years on and there are just 2 or 3 of us still at it around...

Highland is being used in a small way in the north, through the luing breed.
