  • Glenn Brunkow

"I have always liked fruit and vegetables; my problem is I like less healthy foods just as much."

A Fourth of July panic

A Fourth of July panic

  • Glenn Brunkow

"My new cattle dog did not seem to be too bothered about the sound of fireworks, but on the Fourth the booms reached a whole new level."

A stubborn ewe: How people are like sheep

A stubborn ewe: How people are like sheep

  • Glenn Brunkow

I have said many times that there is a good reason that in the Bible, we humans are compared to sheep.

Our nation is a work in progress; it’s what makes us strong

Our nation is a work in progress; it’s what makes us strong

  • Glenn Brunkow

"Sure, we have our problems, and we have some glaring ones right now, but history has shown that we will work them out and we will be better because of it."

When the neighbors' cows come calling

When the neighbors' cows come calling

  • Glenn Brunkow

"Normally, when I see cows that are not where they are supposed to be I assume they are mine. This morning that was not the case, and I found it refreshing."

Dad’s valuable wisdom

Dad’s valuable wisdom

  • Glenn Brunkow

"Since Dad’s passing, I often remember things he told me. Often, I remember those things right after it would have been helpful."

In deep with my trusty mud boots

In deep with my trusty mud boots

  • Glenn Brunkow

The drought has been broken - well, at least at my place. I keep telling myself that I am not going to complain about rain, but we are getting close. I am behind on finishing planting cow and sheep grazing and should be started on hay. I have always said it is much better to have too much ra…

Flat out wrong

Flat out wrong

  • Glenn Brunkow

"I do not like being wrong. You would think that I would be used to it by now. It happens frequently."

Take the time to remember, preserve your own history

Take the time to remember, preserve your own history

  • Glenn Brunkow

Memorial Day weekend Jennifer and I made our annual trip nearly around Kansas decorating family graves. I must admit that my family did not do this, but it is one of those traditions that I married into that I like. I am not sure why we did not decorate graves, but we did not.

A herdsman’s claim to AI

A herdsman’s claim to AI

  • Glenn Brunkow

"I still do not think I should have been thrown out of the 'How to use AI' class for showing up with plastic sleeves and a gallon of lube."

A hard working, honest man

A hard working, honest man

  • Glenn Brunkow

They say things come in three, and I hope that is true. This past week my Uncle Carl passed away unexpectedly. I know God does not give you more than you can handle. I just wish he did not have so much faith in me.

How to catch a cow, Step 1: worry

How to catch a cow, Step 1: worry

  • Glenn Brunkow

Do you know the old saying, “even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while?” Well, that was the way I felt last week. Or maybe something like, “even the worst rancher catches his cows occasionally.”

A little inconvenience for a good rain

A little inconvenience for a good rain

  • Glenn Brunkow

"It set in and rained all night. I know this because the weather alerts went off from 11:30 p.m. until about 4 a.m. I missed a lot of beauty sleep, and it shows."

Sudden grief difficult to face

Sudden grief difficult to face

  • Glenn Brunkow

"(My father-in law) could be summed up in two words: family and commitment. Without a doubt his family was first, and I feel blessed to have been a part of that."

In faith, farming, Dad led by example

In faith, farming, Dad led by example

  • Glenn Brunkow

To take liberty with Paul Harvey’s words; On Aug. 4, 1943, God made a farmer. April 11, 2026, God called that farmer home.

I won’t be fooled by the forecast

I won’t be fooled by the forecast

  • Glenn Brunkow

"We have rain forecast all week, but I will believe that when I see it."

Social media talk burns my britches

Social media talk burns my britches

  • Glenn Brunkow

This week I was on Facebook and what I read made me mad. I know, it was my own fault for being on social media. What did I expect? We all know that social media is the Wild West. You do not have to be right to have an opinion and anyone can express any opinion.

Trending toward old

Trending toward old

  • Glenn Brunkow

I do not know about you but occasionally, I have those little moments of epiphany – a point in time when something becomes crystal clear to you. I had one of those moments Sunday.

The disappearing calf

The disappearing calf

  • Glenn Brunkow

Calving season has officially started for us. I must admit, it was kind of a surprise.

Fourth time’s a charm

Fourth time’s a charm

  • Glenn Brunkow

If at first you do not succeed, you should try again and again and again.

Here’s the catch about luck

Here’s the catch about luck

  • Glenn Brunkow

I seem to live my life under the motto of “I would rather be lucky than good,” and this past week was a shining example of that.

When sheep turn against you

When sheep turn against you

  • Glenn Brunkow

"I hate sheep, or at least I did Tuesday."

Parents set strong examples in faith

Parents set strong examples in faith

  • Glenn Brunkow

"Mom and Dad became a cornerstone of our church, and I lived with two of the best examples of faith that I could. I was a believer because I did not know what it was like to not be one."
