Coffee anyone ?

They do get into our hearts -- and you want one. But this is right choice based on the very things you've brought up. She needs a home with kids to love on her & play. She's a pretty girl. If yard fenced for days you're at work...maybe different

Temperatures have taken off upwards, snow melting and the main road has turned to a rally track of slush, mud and water. Our road up here still covered in snow, though the pig pond is filling up quick.
Pig or two got out, went to bird house and cleaned all the duck poop out for me. The electric fence is down and they wondered off while we weren't home, though not far. Almost as if we could have free range pigs, just get the 40 acres fenced in. Electric fence it up again according to the tester, they ate the ground wires that went from the controller to the rod then the wire that went to second rod. There is 3 rods for grounding here.

How thoughtful of them!

We were thinking the same thing
Once the schit freezes (literally) it sticks to the floor making it impossible to get the hay out so you just layer more hay on top. After a few months it gets pretty deep and takes a bit to clean out in the spring. Guess one less thing to do now, hope they enjoyed their duck poopcicles.

Oh man, manure and bedding freezing to the floor and becoming unshovelable brings back memories...not great memories, but definitely memories. Good job pigs-as long as no birds went missing.

I will admit the flock is looking a little thin. I think after about 30 something ducks it's not easy to count them all.

Good morning
29° now, climbing to 60° today.
Up at my usual coffee hour, but having a mug of 'sleepy time tea' instead. Hopefully a few more hours of sleep are coming.
Planning to get some work done around here before work tonight.

Almost done with first up. Dressed for 26 out there for bottles, feeding, rush in to change clothes & off to work. Things crammed in to schedule from snow days last week. Think I'm doing 67 hrs this week. Yep, gonna be a hard week at least down to 1 bottle a day with plenty of other feeds eaten. It'll be 1/2 bottles starting tomorrow. Time to wean, I'm glad.

Have a great day everyone! Warming to mid 50s here

It’s 45, high of 65 today. No ice! No toting buckets of hot water to the sheep! It’s mud slush in the sheep lit. Blech. Need sunshine.
@Mini Horses you are making overtime this week! What’ cha gonna spend it on? New goat?
