April Fools!!!

No joking here, just alot of work. The grass is growing and the animals need to be moved. Today we fixed the wire on the creek fence. It has not been fixed since the first flood in December. After that flood I only fixed the pasture that the sheep were actually in. Then after the second flood in January I decided to move the whole fenceline back over the rise, so we wouldn't take the chance for the rushing waters to take out anymore fenceline. We kept the fenceline on the creek for a separate pasture to be used in the spring and summer months. So now is time to fix it up and get the cows in there to eat the grass. We focused mainly on the area under all of the trees in pasture 4. We are fencing this for the cows mostly, they really need the grass.

We also finished pasture 2 for the sheep. Since Kandee and Jim were there we were able to carry that huge/heavy roll of wire. However trying to go over the mucky ditch with the heavy wire was impossible. Jim stopped when he felt himself getting stuck and that made me REALLY get stuck. I had to actually crawl out on my hands and knees. We did it differently on the way back.
