I'm BROKE Now... | Embarrassing Stories and Emergency Vet Trip Sep 30, 2025

Show notes

So much has happened since the last episode 😅 From one of the scariest nights of my life when Winnie was hit by a car (and the wild vet bills that followed) to welcoming even more calves during calving season 🐮, this week has been a whirlwind on the farm.

We’re also getting ready for our big cattle sale this weekend, and of course the team and I couldn’t resist sharing some of our most embarrassing stories along the way 🙈 (you’ll never look at a gas station or Chick-fil-A biscuit the same again).

Life here is full of ups, downs, and plenty of laughs — thanks for catching up with us ❤️

Unsolved Mysteries - KVS Edition Sep 23, 2025

Show notes

This week on Katching Up With Katie we had one of the wildest mornings yet 🐮 A newborn calf somehow ended up on the wrong side of the fence, and the whole team had to figure out how to reunite it with Lulu. Picture this: a puppy AND a calf riding together on the golf cart 🚜🐶🐮

We also talk about the possibility of twins, upcoming calves (it’s an N year for names, so drop your suggestions 👇), and Katie shares some hilarious herd-mom stories. Plus, Lindsay joins us for her 3-month “quarterly review,” complete with funny nicknames, learning curves, and another round of Who’s That Horse? 🐴

💬 Comment your favorite “N” name for the new calves and what questions you want us to ask Lindsay in her next check-in.

👇 Follow along for more horses, calves, and barn life chaos:

Welcome back to Katching Up With Katie 🐴

We’re in that funny time of year where not a lot is happening… but everything is about to. Calving season is right around the corner, we just wrapped up weaning (which ended up being surprisingly anticlimactic 😂), and now we’re looking ahead to our cattle sale, Congress, and even a quick work trip to New York.

This episode is all about the calm before the storm — catching you up on farm life right before the busiest weeks of the year kick in.

This week on Katching Up With Katie, we’re recapping our big Labor Day weekend — and it was a wild one! From hosting our annual dove hunt (my favorite day of the year 🕊️), to leftover BBQ that lasted way too long, to late-night jam sessions and cornhole battles that went until the early morning hours… it was a marathon but so much fun.

We also talk about barn life updates, Abigail’s riding lesson, our newest mare Lexy, dog drama (and maybe the possibility of adding another pup 👀), and even the saga of me finally getting my Real ID. Lots of laughs, a little chaos, and plenty of catching up!

💬 Let us know in the comments: what’s your favorite part of a long holiday weekend — food, games, or just hanging out?

This week on Katching Up With Katie, we’ve got a packed episode full of big farm updates, new plans, and plenty of laughs. Ruby (a.k.a. Wubby) officially headed off to her new home in Nebraska — the first foal of 2025 to leave the farm — while Noel is still waiting for the right buyer. We talk about the bittersweet process of weaning foals, the funny chaos of foaling season (yes, Dairy Queen night gets brought up again 🍦), and the chiropractor visit for our broodmares.

On top of that, Matt finally gets called out about his supposed horse experience (time to put him to the test 🐴), we brainstorm ideas for a Halloween Special 🎃, and wrap things up with a hilarious word-association game that had us all in tears.

📌 In this episode:

Ruby heads to her new home 🐴

Noel’s still for sale — waiting for the right match

Chiropractor & vet check-ins for the mares

Matt’s “horseman” claims get challenged

Plans for a Halloween special 🎃

Abigail has been replaced... This is Lindsey Aug 09, 2025

Show notes

Meet Lindsey — the newest member of the farm team! 🐴✨ In this episode of Katching Up With Katie, we’re sitting down to get to know her better, from her background in graphic design to her very first impressions of farm life. We talk about her favorite animals so far, some of the wild and surprising moments she’s already experienced (including Janis’s unexpected foaling!), and how she’s fitting into our busy foaling season and daily chaos.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to join the team here on the farm, this is a fun behind-the-scenes look — complete with a little animal quiz, plenty of laughs, and a peek at how much there is to learn when you’re surrounded by horses, minis, goats, and more. 🐐🐴
