Hmmm...now to think about Spring wooded pastures. The Pig Feeding forum made me think about it. My mutt Sows LOVE to root around and forage for their food rather than just eat it out of the trough, which is making their pen a mess so to try and make things more interesting for them I added a small patch of Timber to their pen as there is several acres of timber just past their pen. I also pitch Alfalfa pellets and other veggies into their pen instead of just putting it in the trough.
Side tracked there a bit. Fencing timber is so much harder....

Got a nice dusting of snow this morning and it hasn't melted yet. The does and kids seem to like it. The wethers are taking it easy for the most part. The friendly Charolais got a good scratch today along with a few handfuls of oats. Tank, Trouble and Shaggy are getting along after some pecking order disputes. My Tank kept his top spot if any Galloway fans are listening, lol. I'm a bit surprised though, the Galloway is a beast of a bull.
Except for my premium bunch of Herefords, I have all the cows in one herd for the winter.

My wife and I took a late morning ride on Emily and Ash. It is a very pretty setting with a fresh snow and green grass peeking through. :lol: "Inside joke, you won't understand"

Little Red was up to no good this morning attacking her mothers tail. I wonder sometimes if she isn't part Cat or something. It was pretty funny as Mulan just watched the whole thing as if Red were nutz.

Jake, Rolly and Marshmellow proved themselves this morning by chasing off a bunny, :lol:. They were rather proud of their work.

Yes, they are the fearsome three puppies. They are Great Pyrenees and like to please. Jake is the runt of the group. Marshmellow is the next size and likes to snuggle, he's also the moderater of the three. Then theres Rolly super puppy, he keeps well but will always eat if offered hence the name, lol. "Mother, mother, I'm hungry mother, I'm Hungry."
