We went to the north side of the farm to see about moving the cow, Gladis, and Stanley, the horse, into a new pasture with tall green grass! Can't believe how quickly the grass is growing already. Things weren't terribly chaotic, although Gladis did attempt to run away again. She didn't get very far because she didn't have a sidekick to go with her. You should have heard her bellowing around the yard and you should have seen her jumping around and swinging her head around in her disappointment! She finally submitted, however, and joined Stanley, who wasted no time going to work on the yummy green grass!
On our way home we happened by Joe's place. I was there to talk to him about my chickens, who are in need of a new home now that we are back and forth between here and Nebraska. When I pulled into the yard he told me he had something to show us. He brought us through the barn where one of his giant work horses was eating a snack, and into a back pasture where he had three mama sheep who all lambed this morning. There were eight little babies to ooh and aaah over! A set of twins and a set of triplets, to be precise!
This evening we will be loading up our hens and taking them over to Joe's. We'll be buying eggs from them this year.
