Hayed cows tonight. They are eating a full bale in a little under three days now. They are cleaning it up so well now that I don't have anything to clean out of the feeder!! I really can't wait to send these two steers to the butcher. I will gain at least one more day between bales from reducing the herd by two. Sending dad's bull, Jo Jo, back home will help a lot also!
Piggies are doing well. The little ones haven't learned to go outside to pee yet so they are making a little mess in the barn. Just wet and nothing major but still needs cleaned up. Hoping to get done this weekend. They are also starting to eat the ground alfalfa with their mother. Hopefully they will be ready to wean soon.
Wanted to through in a couple of pics of the pond we are building at work. Today was the fifth day of moving dirt. We are making some good progress but still have a little ways to go. Should be done with the bulk of it by the end of the week. Then comes the fun part where I get to trick it out with toprock and trees and other plants. Maybe a waterfall and a stream and a secondary smaller pond!
