Burn Pile

We went to Halsey’s Meats to pick up “13”. She was the old ewe who we didn’t think would survive the winter. As it turns out we were correct. She’s in the freezer now and we are going to have mutton steaks for dinner tonight.

 DSCF4082 We lit the burn pile. It was good weather for burning. Cold and a steady breeze. Jersey Larry is in the middle of everything. We can’t wait until he’s 1000 pounds!

 

DSCF4079 We were aiming to get the two posts in for the bottom stretcher.

  1. I didn't know cows were so curious. Is that a cow upside down on the rack?

  5. What? No marshmallows? The upside down animal definitely looks like bacon and ham.
