Covered Wagon

The weather was beautiful this weekend. It was sunny with highs in the 40s. I took a lot of pictures, thus the long post.

 Lisa followed me over to Nelson's to get hay. We had some details to iron out on the hog deal. She was visiting with one of the baby horses.

 The stalls.

 They all came down to watch me go by on the road with the hay.

 The hay was well received.

 We pulled the trailer out of the lower pasture and took it over to Nelson's barn. His ground is flatter and wider so this way it will be ready to go when the hogs go to Flemingsburg.

 Look at those hams!

 Nice looking hogs.

 That's Nelson feeding his horses. They were pleased with the hay too.

 The sheep didn't like the last batch of square bales for some reason. Lisa has been bringing flakes off of the downhill sheep round bale.

 That's Ally next to the wheeler. She's whiter than the rest so she's easy to spot in the pasture. She's soft and fluffy with her winter wool.

 The sheep know what it is.

 Lisa fills the big manger and the one in the sheep's stall too.

 We took the squares back to Heather. Her horses like them.

 Andy and Lisa were waiting for me to take the hay over to the barn with the four wheeler.

 Heather once told me I didn't have enough bunny pictures on my blog. So, here's a bunny.

 There may have been a little mud next to the barn.

 We stopped at Tractor Supply to get a cattle panel. We prefer the covered wagon method for transporting the panels. We also got a sulfur salt lick for the cattle. Rumor has it that the flies don't like the cow poo with sulfur.

We stopped at Lowe's to get some extension cords to replace the one's I broke with the tractor. The things in the pots are some kind of birch and blueberry bushes.

 This is just the Enterprise.

  1. Woo hoo, the Enterprise!

    Thanks for the nice long post. I was wondering, too, where all the bunny pictures were. I thought maybe the bunnies all ran away.

  2. Nice photos! It looks you guys have been very busy with the animals as usual. It looks a little cold, but at least you are not snowed in like some of the country.
    Keep the great photos coming we really enjoy them.
