Hmm...can't remember. It was suitable for horses, though, so fairly strong, I imagine. We ran two lines to keep the horses and goats in. It worked for them, at least!

Busy day. Spent most of it repairing the hutches. My back is now killing me, but that's the price I willingly pay. I can't have a 'normal' job, so I farm because at least with it, the joy outweighs the pain.
Physical pain anyway...
So, yes, still bummed, but nothing to do but keep on keeping on. Apparently the poster I shared for the new year was more appropriate than I was expecting it to be!
While I was out there, I got one of the few rabbits left bred. Figure I may as well start early so I'll have some nice replacement stock ready to breed by fall.
We have so much that needs to get done this year, I can't bear to write it all down! It's just too much for me right now. I'll get to it, I'm sure, but for now I'm concentrating on taking it one day at a time and focusing my attention on the task, day, and animals at hand!
I had Cherry Cola out on the couch and my heeler was NOT impressed! She was in his spot! He has his own portion of the couch that he considers his very own. Even if DH sits there, he'll just stare at him and look sad until DH moves!
What is this thing doing in my spot? What is it anyway? Fine, I'll sit here then...

glad to hear you were able to make a start on repairs. Maybe our does will kindle at the same time- just bred our 2 French Angora does today.- Thread starter

Do you know how hard it is not to call my to-be-first-time-momma rabbits first fresheners? 
Anyhow, not too much going on. Got the house cleaned up, dishes done, and sold a few pet rabbits. Bought a new NZ for an order I have to fill and no longer have the stock for.
I'm so looking forward to my rabbits kindling over the next month or so - can hardly wait to pick out the keepers!
Birds are doing well. Enjoying the sunshine we've had the last few days. It's supposed to warm up to above 0 this weekend, which will be a nice change from the -5-20 we've been having!
I'm thinking about taking a brief holiday to my sister's for a few days next week. Not too much work for DH to take care of right now and I want to go before my does are due kindle/kid respectively!

hate to torture you but it was 66 degrees here today. oh man it was awesome! i worked outside in a t-shirt. i was convinced i was going to go nuts if it didn't warm up and let the sun come out and it has only been in the teens and twentys here.
what is your blue hen? do i see a beard? i have a weakness for blue critters.

Torture is right...
You see right, she's an Ameraucana. Blue mom, Wheaten dad
One of my favorites - I like the gold leaching through her body and head and it makes it easy to tell her from my all blue hen!

I like your blue hen 
we are 38 degrees here today- no sun and raining a bit now, but we were able to get the coop clean
plus the rabbit pans that needed to be done. Waiting for the rain to stop so we can finish processing rabbits.

Sorry I haven't been writing. Every time I start to write about farm stuff, it sounds so depressing to me that I just delete it! So, I'm going to focus on more personal stuff for a change!
DH may be looking into a new job. I'm excited about the prospect of starting over, but it would mean him moving away, then me and hopefully the animals following later.
I'm hoping he'll get it as it would be an amazing opportunity for him!
I'm just an excellent worrier and all the different ramifications of moving are driving me a little crazy - nothing new there!
It seems a bunch of people on the forum are moving around lately!
I'm hoping we may follow suit sometime this or next year. The LGD and all the plans surrounding that has been put on hold until we have a better idea of the future.
It's funny, because just yesterday it wasn't even in the cards!
Amazing how fast life can change on you!
The indoor animals are all doing well. The guppies are producing more guppies as guppies do. Boots and Micro (the cats) are doing well - pains as usual! The indoor rabbits are all great. Got a few of them cleaned out today, which is always good. Cherry has been very hormonal now that she's preggers and has decided my heeler is out to get herShe's wrong, of course, but as it's her first pregnancy, I'm keeping him away from her to prevent too much stress on her
Blu and Gumdrop are finally bonding! Took them long enough!
