It always amazes me what farmers have to deal with.

Wow. That's pretty bad. I have no idea what you could do but I'm glad the kid is ok and glad you didn't get stick or too hurt.

Do you have some rocks you can fill them in with? Where I live, we call it stoney fields because we are never at a loss for stones. Maybe some good size stones in the bottem, them small ones on top and then dirt will help them stay filled. Just my 2 cents.

I have no idea...the rocks sound good though. Just really glad you didn't get badly hurt, and hope your back is feeling better 
Good job of getting the kid out!

We came home last Tuesday night and were in a big hurry to get the chores done and go to bed. I headed out to the front field and hubby went to the barn. It had been raining all day and I was nervous about that sinkhole. The water was running swiftly through the underground tunnel and a baby that got in was likely to be swept downstream and get stuck underwater.
I came back and hubby was still up in the barn. I went up and he asked how many babies are there again? I got pretty worried about then. He said I have counted them over and over and I still come up with seven.
"There are supposed to be six. "
I checked all the does and none have given birth today, and all the babies are all past newborn size
So I go into the stalls, two there with P, Mocha has her one and 1, 2, 3, 4 under the hay rack. That makes seven. I get down on my hands and knees, reach under the hay rack- and a white barn cat runs out. I look again. 1, 2 and 3 under the hay rack. Darn cat!

Barn cats, you love them and you hate them... Mine always wait for me to lay an egg down and as soon as I do, they roll it on to the floor and then clean up the mess.
