It would seem that we finally have winter in the rear view mirror. Good bye and good riddance. Two blizzards, one a record setter, cold for weeks on end and holy cow did it get muddy when it thawed out but yet we endured.
Nothing is more a sign of spring on the farm than the annual spreading of the poo! So we started on wednesday and we spread....
...and spread...
... and spread untill the last load about 8pm saturday night.
We were able to knock out a small fence building job last week before the manure spreading. Trying to get it done we worked well into the dark on monday night. Nick and Travis were stapling the fence to the corner post using the tractor lights to see.
Another sure sign of spring is calves running around the lots. Seeing the calves running around is a nice way to start the day.
Took this pic this afernoon. A warm windy march day with abundant sunshine. These three tractors, a combined 108 years of expirence and about 24 thousand hours of use are still going strong. They take care of most of our daily cattle chores.
These early spring days when we start working long days take their toll on all of us, even wrigley. This day I caught him napping in the tractor seat. He is upstairs sleeping right now. He had another hard day! Oh a dogs life.
