It's a wrap for Au Pair, Kansas

The "Au Pair, Kansas" movie film crew finished their scenes with the actors here last Friday before the snow hit. (And the cows were happy to wrap it up too.)

One young actor in this movie, Spencer Daniels, (who also plays the young Brad Pitt character in the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" which opens Christmas Day) wasn't so sure he wanted to get close to the fence when he was supposed to open their gate (but it was just a pretend motion of opening it).

Cow Colorado did a stomp and snort, which sent everybody back away from the fence line in a hurry. I told the crew to wrap it up quick because the buffalo were done with their scenes...

Touch of Winter Weather

Tuesday morning arrived with snow creating a ground blizzard, and giving the new calves their first coating of snow. It made me wish I could brush off their snowy faces and backs and give them a warm hug, but you can't do that with buffalo.

Long johns were our topic of discussion inside the Visitors Center because the packing room didn't feel much warmer than the walk-in freezer with the north wind hitting our hilltop location.

Seems like we were just wearing short-sleeved shirts a short time ago, and now into many layers to keep warm. Winter has arrived and the buffalo's fur coat looks a lot warmer than my long johns...

Full Freezer

Our last weekend was spent packing coolers for a special order that went out on Monday. It was a big company project we've been working and it was so satisfying to know we did a good job for the customer. I'm sure their clients will be impressed with our Kansas bison steaks!

Now we're getting ready for next Monday's shipping. I hope you'll place your order today so it's on the truck next week!

Weather wise we're cold and windy here in Kansas- perfect weather for shipping meat coolers!
