Milking the Steer

We took Morty to Flemingsburg this morning. Cathryn is splitting him with a guy I work with. He's organic. He's never had a steroid or growth hormone. He only ate grass, hay and a little grain in the winter.
 We wormed the sheep yesterday afternoon. They come running when Lisa calls them.

 Such good sheep. They trotted right into the barn. That's Paige watching from safety.

 They are a good bunch. No one was stressed out or bothered by the ordeal.

 Morty weighed in at 965 pounds.

 Norman likes milk. Unfortunately that isn't a cow. That's Beavis the steer.

 I spread compost on the exposed clay that was left from the hydrant installation. The clay doesn't seem to support the grass so it needed some enhancement.

 After spreading the compost and seeding we covered it with some hay.

 We went over to Montgomery County Greenhouses this afternoon and got some plants. The flowers are snapdragons, marigolds and petunias. The veggies are cucumbers, squash and a roma tomato.

The Paige pictures have been wildly successful and there have been thousands of requests for wallpapers. Today's Paige pictures are presented in standard computer screen aspect ratios to better fit your monitor.
