Need to go out and find a hay bale feeder. They have destroyed the 2nd one out there. This lot of 3rd/4th cutting of hay is short pieces, and when we took the shrink-wrap plastic and the netting off, the bales are just crumbling.
Sang happy birthday in Afrikaans to my dad early this morning. Herbie actually asked me who I was and what I'd done with his wife as I was awake so early :)
It reached 49 degrees here today ! Snow melting, so will have a flooded house basement, tunnel and lower barn shortly. The ducks and geese are enjoying it, bathing and mating in a mud puddle. Wonder when they're going to start laying eggs. When Herbie was giving hay to the sheep this morning, I showed him how they eat sunflower seeds from my hand. Pretty cool. Had to teach them that it was food, they previously picked out the corn and barley, leaving the black seeds on the ground. I feed it to them for the selenium but not too much as it makes their tummies run, and runny sheep poop makes for yucky back-ends.
