Lambing

Bob and I hung hay racks, water buckets, and feeders on Thursday. We then moved the ewes inside the barn. We divided two horse stalls and cleaned the third. The goats have the third stall to themselves while the four ewes share the other two. The ewes are due any time and with the weather taking this cold turn it was time to move them in. They seem very content. With them inside it does mean stalls will have to be cleaned more often. Unfortunately, with the new snow fall, the four wheeler is unable to get through it with the manure spreader. This means that a manure pile will be created outside in the barnyard, removed when the snow melts. Double cleaning duty. Live well. Carmen
