CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

[Mike CHS]

To add insult to injury we started feeding round bales yesterday instead of that lush orchard grass they have been eating. I'll go back to cutting some fresh grass in the next few days when we pick up another mower.

What's the growing season on that orchard grass Mike? Does it need anything special to grow it?

 

[NH homesteader]

Oh the horror! Your poor ewes!

 

[Mike CHS]

It's a spring and summer grass for hay. It's pretty tolerant to drought and heat so it does good around here.

NH - we won't do a balance sheet this season or we would probably quit raising sheep.

Sorry to keep bugging ya @Mike CHS , but did ya buy the seed locally or did ya order it?

I don't know how to do any of that like edit my location or add anything to my profile. that's what sucks about horses, I think theyre the most expensive live stock you can own..mostly due to the endless possibilities you have with horses.
Are you using post hole digger pto driven to put in fence ?

 

[CntryBoy777]

@Novasark no just some clam-shell diggers. The $$ is why I don't have a couple of horses or mules. If ya wish to "Edit" your info on your banner...ya can look to the top of the page and find your screen name...click on it, and your Profile page will pop up...there ya can change avatar and info.

Fred - Orchard grass is one of the most available grasses in this part of the state. What is available on our place was already naturally growing in the fall and winter. We were buying most of what we used since our mowers got wiped out in the storm.

It was misty-sprinkly rain off and on today...hi 51, but it was a very Chilly 51 I tell ya. The wind was blowing and temps dropped throughout the day....hi was Early in the morning. WindChills were in the upper 30s, so I stayed in today with no progress made. Probably gonna be out tomorrow for most of the morning, gotta get rid of some eggs and going to eat at our favorite place before coming home, to switch birds and walk goats. They will be more than ready, since they stayed in today. Star is cycling and they never stay out for more than 20mins when she is, and we spend most of the time trying to separate the Boys from her so she can eat. So we didn't even get them out tho we were getting a sprinkle at the time, they would've walked if we had let them out. I did put out some fresh hay for them inside, they certainly aren't starving.

It was cold and misty here today too. We went to get horse feed and eat at one of our favorite cafes. When we walked outside, it was COLD!!
