True Grit in the Great White North

[artesianspringsfarm]

My family had the delight of welcoming CT's own True/High Grit to the farm today. It was a real good time and I enjoyed really getting to know Vince and his wife. The farm tour was punctuated by brisk wind and heavy snow but he was a trooper and pitched in trying to help us separate out a calf. It's always neat to put faces to names and this one was no exception.

Looks like he adapted pretty well.

I've never seen that much snow in my life. Not even a fraction of it.
Great hat you got there grit... ;-)

It's just another reason black is better. I wouldnt be able to see a charolais 6 months out of the year! :lol:

Also, I know perspective is hard but the post behind us is 6' high when the ground is bare.

O no there ain't no way you need white camo to hunt.
This boy is not wired for that white stuff

Great pic - thanks for sharing. Grit, you are a trooper!

Those hats the women's rights rally goers were wearing the other week? Looks like Grit got one of those.

TG, don't you dare bring any of that white stuff back with you.

To be fair, he had a heck of a nice cowboy hat but it wasnt going to survive the weather we were dealing with. I didn't pick the nicest day to give someone a tour of the place, let alone a southerner. He was a real trooper.

Looks like he handled the snow pretty well.

That looks cold...but at least you were not under tornado warnings! Last time we saw TG and his sweet wife we had storms all around us. But we still managed to look at cows they are troopers for sure.

He'll probably just move on up there now...how you gonna keep him down on the Ga farm once he's seen.....

We had a great time and truly enjoyed ourselves. I've seen snow before but nothing like this. Talking about cows working for you, these girls are the real deal. No barn, No feed, only hay and water. I seen it but I still can't believe it. And the grass fed beef I ate was excellent with no gamey taste and very tender. I was very surprised because the beef had little to no marble. It must be the different grass up here, or maybe the cook. IDK
Artesianspringsfarm is truly blessed, he has a beautiful place and a great family. Thanks again.

Wish I knew you were in the area, TG. We are less than 2 hours from Artesian. You sure picked a "great" time to visit! Heading back out now to plow the road......
