Good Morning!--Chat thread

Good morning

It's cold and frosty AGAIN!
I'm feeling some body else's age this morning! Went up and down the hill too many times yesterday, to throw sticks on the fire!
If I can finish it up today, I will be able to start popping stumps tomorow and maybe finish up that area by the end of the week!

The cows do mow the top fields down pretty good.
I have 2 lower grazing fields that still need work. IF I get to redo them this year, that takes out a lot of grazing, but will add a lot for the future!

Not sure of your setup but can you fence the pastures down smaller and rotate them everyday to every other day. Or maybe feed them more hay to let the grass come better. If there are animals in your herd you don't want, getting rid of them will help the pasture but, watch the prices when you sell. Don't jump to sell and catch a low market price.

Other than half of one of the hay fields, I think I am about as cut up as I can be!
I am in no hurry to sell, it's just a thought that has been rattling around my head!
Looking at those last 2 fields is kinda like looking at stick piles and stumps, I WANT TO SEE GRASS!

They lied again!
It seems to me, we were supposed to have evening rain?
NOT MORNING SNOW!

I already fed a big bale! I told the cows to eat fast, before it gets buried!

Good morning

Seems there are going to be some changes around here!
Hubby took a long nap yesterday and could not get to sleep last night? So, he has decided NO MORE NAPS?
So, I'm thinking!
He can leave quietly in the morning, and call and wake me up when HE starts work! He can then call me when HE is off work, so I can quit for the day too!
IF, I spend my whole day outside and none of my inside stuff gets done, too bad, I am done for the day! IF I spend my day inside and don't get everything done outside, too bad!
I think that will also mean, when I come in for lunch, I don't have to do anything but eat, no laundry, dishes, bookwork, NOTHING! It is my lunch time!
Not sure who is going to do the early morning or late night cow checking, or who is going to feed the baby, if he gets off early?

my hubby is doing school work right now. he's taking classes online to finish his law stuff, he quit that when we got married.we somewhat have a petty good half and half doing work around here, even though i think my load is bigger then his.
