“…’Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” -Mark 12:31- The wind is blowing hard again today. It feels all too familiar of that horribly windy day last week which brought with it fire that changed so many peoples’ lives. My heart has been heavy for the ranchers who lost cattle, fences, their livelihood […]
The romanticized view of a family farm or ranch is a small acreage, a menagerie of farm animals and a large garden with abundant produce to feed the family for an entire year. Many of our ancestors farmed and did what they could to keep only their family sustained. Today, two percent of the population […]
Beef cattle must be healthy and well-cared for in order to produce great, quality meat. And one of the ways that we keep our animals healthy on our ranch is by using antibiotics. We don’t just use antibiotics to use them. On our ranch, we have a herd health program where our cattle get regular […]
I found my husband’s grandmother’s cookbook recently that her church put together in 1982 and there look to be some great recipes. I love looking through older recipes – many the same you find in more modern cookbooks or online today – and many with ingredients that are hard to find in today’s stores. Can […]
One of my favorite holidays is coming up! While the main reason we celebrate Easter is the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, what else comes to mind when you mention Easter? The egg!

I’ve been away from the Ag on the Forefront blog for awhile because my husband and I welcomed our son, Chisum Marshall, into our family on September 9! We’re pretty excited for this new miracle in our lives. I will be sharing numerous Chisum stories on my family blog, but while I was cuddling with […]
Today I want to link up with a group of Nebraska bloggers and they are each sharing why they started blogging and the reason their blog name is significant to them. There are many reasons I started this blog, but I decided to take a look back at my very first post. I want to […]
I’m feeling grateful this Friday. Despite the cold and bitter winter conditions, the ranch received some much needed moisture this week. The ranch in Eastern Colorado is where the green star is on this map – right in the middle of the dark red, Exceptional Drought. We like to view our ranch as “exceptional”, but […]
This week, the exciting Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show is going on in Tampa, Florida and I know many cattlemen and women who are attending. One of those is my uncle, Mark Frasier, who is the President of the Colorado Livestock Association and I’ll brag on him for a minute. 🙂 He took […]
