Heifer pasture is done. They would have let the ladies out yesterday, but they didn't get it done until three. They figured, and probably rightly, that the lassies would prefer to stay out once let out, and we didn't want to be milking at midnight. Maybe today.
Then they started the big pasture fence. That has sat two years unused thanks to the horrific weather and the fact that it is a b***ch to build, up and down ravines and slate cliffs and all. Gonna get built this year though, some how, some way. Our hay guy is out of hay; last load delivered this morning. We aren't out of cows and they have to eat something.
The wooden cowboy got his pants put on yesterday. They go pretty well with his bright red shirt and blue bandanna. Alan figures on painting him a nice rodeo belt buckle with a bronc in the center and we still have to paint his fence and boots and hat...oh, and finish up his face. He looks kind of silly with just a white smiley face.
And that's all the news that's fit to print. Have a good one.
Fencing. No one understands what fencing really means unless they do it. Great photos by the way!

Love the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to pictures of cows in green grass.
Linda, thanks for your kind words. That big pasture is awful to fence. Woods all along one side, all hill and those ravines! You have to be a goat to walk in them let alone drag wire, posts and tools. Of course that doesn't stop the cows!
ReplyDeleteCathy, thanks, soon, they are pretty shabby looking from winter yet.
