As March comes in we're enjoying milder temperatures with a hint of what's to come--spring, we hope!! We began the month of March by giving meds to Peaches who is 3 months away from her due date. We are very excited about the possibilities here and will show you this baby as soon as it arrives. On March 9th, thanks to days of mild temps and snow melt, conditions were right to be able to bucket all the soiled sand out of the main barn, add it to the growing manure pile and replace the sand with fresh for a nice smelling barn again. That puts us well ahead of the time when we're normally able to do that which is a big plus. Living as we do next door to a large dairy herd, we're fortunate enough to have neighbors willing to come and collect our manure pile and spread it on the fields in spring. They welcome the addition of sand and straw as it warms the soil faster so that definitely makes life easier for us. The girl herd is getting cabin fever just a big and seems to relieve their boredom by rolling so they all look like big hay bales. The boy group appears to entertain themselves by moving their feed tanks around--would love to be a mouse in the corner in their barn during the evening hours to see just how they accomplish that. Have a Happy Saint Patrick's Day this month.
