Hay Port Lights

We had another hay day yesterday. The cattle ate an entire round bale in a week. We worked on the wind wall and had a nice outing to Southern Lights at the Kentucky Horse park.

 We moved the hay ring to the top of the hill next to the run in shed. I had to back up the driveway because the bales are quite heavy. I didn't want to tip over so it seemed safer this way.

 This bale is a little lop sided. I think it caught on something when Nelson pulled it off the stack.

 We started work on the side wind walls on the horse port. 4x4 posts and plywood siding.

 There was a long line waiting to get into Southern Lights. We listened to Christmas carols and talked so it was fun.




 Allen came to visit from New York.

 They had no trouble locating the new hay. Well, that isn't entirely accurate. All of them except Harvey found it. Lisa had to go out on the 4 wheeler  to lead Harvey over. He couldn't find the opening in the fence.

 We finished one side today. There will be trim on the corners and wall ends to protect it but it is functional as is. I dropped the drill off the ladder and broke it so we didn't get finished with the other side. We had to go to Lowe's and buy a new drill. We did find one with the same type battery. We have four good batteries and two chargers now. Speedy has to wait in his catch pen when we are in the pasture. We moved it over next to the fence so we can close him in from the outside. He knocked Lisa down the other day and gave her some big bruises. He might be getting some long time outs for a while until he learns some manners.

  2. You guys have been very busy!
    It sounds like Speedy is in some serious trouble.

    The wall looks great and will help this winter with protecting the animals.
    Have a Merry Christmas

  3. The light show looks great. It looks similar to the one at Wickham Park in Melbourne. Bad Speedy!
