This past weekend the Manitoba Fly Fishers Association made Walkinshaw Place their home. "Fishing stories - pot luck dinners - great fishing weather". They had a tremendous weekend of fishing at William Lake in the Turtle Mountain Provincial Park. We've got some great photos from the members .....

First newborn calf in 2010Today we wish to announce the birth of the first calf from our cattle herd for 2010. Beginning in February we expect about 60 newborn calves this spring at Walkinshaw Place. We have a great sheltered indoor "nursery area" in the calving barn.

Our guests last weekend enjoyed great family time as they chose the whole house rental and spent the weekend celebrating a special family occasion and snowmobiling on the  trails in the Turtle Mountain Provincial Park and other Southwestern Manitoba trails.

We have had lots of fresh snow in the last few days. The group out for the February long weekend had this to say: "Our tenth year here for a weekend of skiing, sledding, playing board games, making music & eating! It's been great, as ever". Today the sky is blue with the shadows on the snow reflecting a blue hue - just beautiful! And - wasn't yesterday a great golden moment for Canada - the first Olympic Gold Medal on Canadian soil! Congratulations to Alexandre Bilodeau!
