Evening chores were a lot of fun

Yeah, not fun.

We had a bit of sleet over the last two days, started sleeting this AM then turned to snow for a few hours, now back to sleet

Can I borrow one? We could hear coyotes last night.
Our neighbor who has lived here 50 years says she's never heard them this close. Is it wrong I was relieved that 2 roosters were left out of the coop. Sacrificial roosters? I'm so glad the babies are right up by our house.

Hope your nasty weather is over- or at least improved. We got our taste of cold last night. I can't say I'm upset we are done with babies for 6 weeks. I'm happy not to be out in the barn worried about newborns getting cold.

She's eating us out of house and home.

 

[Southern by choice]

I bet compared to the Nigies she is! LOL
What do you think she averages feed wise?

We have some that eat a lot and others that don't... still looking at the conversion.
Always makes me appreciate the Nigerians and Miniatures... best feed conversion!

Feed?
5 quarts per day
And about half of that is the same mixed feed we feed the Nigerians and the other half is a custom mix that C gets Mule City to make for him
Free choice 2nd cut orchard and alfalfa

And she is still thinner than Freday

Edited
Of course Climate is still milking close to a gallon and Freday half that
