Hello and welcome to The Cow Emporium! Glen and Annette are the 5th generation to live and work on this century old small farm in southern Alberta, Canada and raise beef cattle. This farm was established in 1904 by Glen's great-great grandfather.
We invite you to follow us on our journey for a personal view into our lives as cattle ranchers, farmers and gardeners.

Happy cows, and what beautiful views they have. I have never spliced Barb wire, but I need to learn. we have cows on 2 sides of us and I am always noticing a break in the fence. I usually wait for the neighbor to fix it, but I could take the time ti fix it and be a good neighbor.
@@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors I think that you could fix fence no problem! Just make sure there isn’t any power in the fence! 😳 We try to splice with new wire because old wire is so brittle but sometimes it’s all we have.
G'day guys. It looks fantastic there right now. Such an awesome "office" to be working at. Oh and of course there was something that needed doing while you were there. Take care. Daz.
G'day guys. You work so hard and when I stop and fall behind because of my mental health, it's often one of your videos in the garden that helps me get back to it and I really must thank you. I don't comment much and don't show up in live streams as I'm not doing well interacting with people, but I'm trying. As for the peas... you need to call them "P". P Peas. 😁 Thanks and take care. Daz.
Daz. You are an extraordinary human. I appreciate so much that you are able to come hang out with us and that you feel it helps you get back at it. Mental health is like waves on the ocean, sometimes everything is calm and other times it’s a storm. Glen pulled that row of P peas out of the garden today. Transitions during the season are usually he’d for me but Glen said to think of it as an opportunity to plant something new! 🥹 Take care friend! 🌺
Amazing looking pastures! WOW so lush! What a beautiful space. I laughed about the insulators…my pigs use them as pacifiers. lol they chew them. Always a lot to do for sure with fencing and keeping large livestock in. Thanks for taking us along with Mr Staple Pants! 😂
Zipp and I are out early to stack bales before the sun gets too hot! We share our time in the pasture with several kinds of birds including hawks, small creatures like ground squirrels, wild hares and deer. There is always some nature keeping us company. 😊 Have a great day, Annette🌺
Zipp and I have about 60 hours to spend in the truck stacking bales. These bales are about 1600 lbs so we only stack one at a time. Nobody is complaining around here!! Soon it will be time to cut our green feed too. Awesome!! 🙌 Take care, Annette🌺
Hey Gwen! I think that all the fence posts here are sold like that with the sharpened end. We do use a post pounder to put posts in where we can use it. We don’t have an auger attachment for the tractor but we do have a gas powered auger for remote locations like the summer pasture. Take care! 🌺
Having a third person help by driving the truck makes such a difference! Glen and I took this wire off before the grass started to grow, thank goodness. We only had two broken posts out of that whole fence line.🙌 Thanks for watching! 🌺
So you replaced all the posts or just the broken ones? Good thing you took the wire off earlier. Gets so tangled in grass. Wow I bet that made a huge difference with two people. Fencing is a never ending job. Especially with livestock. Great job
@@YogiHollowFarm we took this fence line out completely. We will be breaking these two adjacent pastures this fall. Kinda makes my heart hurt because we just got an amazing hay harvest off of them but it’s time for them to take a break.
