It’s officially freezing in Tennessee, and since I didn’t have enough “life updates” for a normal episode… we turned this into a full barn game night instead. ❄️ In today’s Katching Up With Katie, we’re bundled up, laughing way too hard, and putting Nate and Matt through some very serious (not really) farm trivia.

We go through everything from favorite horses and last summer’s baby goats to how many foals we actually have coming in 2026 — minis included! Then we switch to the chaotic word-matching game that always exposes who shares a brain cell…and who definitely does not. We also chat about Mo’s “middle name,” the upcoming World Show, and the VS Code Red coffee cart I get to help run this year. 🐴

These cozy, unfiltered episodes are some of my favorites because it really does feel like we’re all just hanging out in the barn together. 💕

Play along in the comments!

Did you get any of the trivia right? And what games should we try next time on Katching Up With Katie?

Hey y'all, I'm Katie! Welcome to my channel where I share my passion for horses, cattle and life on the farm. From equestrian care and outdoor adventures to everyday moments on the farm, I'm here to give you a glimpse into my world and hopefully inspire others to learn, and live life to the fullest.

The Farmer’s Almanac said we were in for a rough winter, and somehow that turned into weaning babies, sending Noelle off to her new home, and starting a full-blown grandma hobby night. Oh, and Kennedy decided to show off with nine embryos this week, so it’s safe to say things are a little chaotic around here. 😅

Between breeding updates, emotional goodbyes, and my questionable blue-light glasses choices, this week’s episode has a bit of everything. We’re talking Erlene, Sophie, Kennedy, Noelle, cozy barn life, and some late-night crafting chaos while planning for the World Show.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like trying to balance horse breeding, farm life, and everyday mayhem, welcome back to Katching Up With Katie.

It’s officially cozy-season chaos! Between planning the Christmas special, fall farm projects, and a little holiday whimsy talk, this episode of Katching Up With Katie might be one of my favorites yet. 💕

We’re catching up on everything from missed fall plans and Christmas ideas to Bo’s injury, Halloween costumes (including a turkey chase that almost happened 🤣), and what life on the farm looks like as winter rolls in. There’s plenty of laughter, storytelling, and a little bit of heart — because that’s just how life goes around here.

This one reminded me how important it is to slow down, find the magic in the small things, and appreciate every moment... even the messy, funny ones. 🐴

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 ❤️

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.

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.
