Well. winter has settled in on us.  Already we have had more snow that we did all last winter.  We have been so busy this fall that not all the winter prep jobs got done.  I'm trying to get caught up, but I think winter will come and go before I do.

All the round straw bales are still out in the field so I have to drive out with the tractor and pick one up when I need it.  Fortunately, it wasn't too cold today - our John Deere tractor has no cab.

The cows and sheep are running together this winter, sharing a pen with a large 3-sided shed.  It gets bedded with straw whenever they need it for sleeping on.  That is, of course, if they don't eat it all.  The animals will leave their hay bale and come and eat the oat straw.  For some reason they think it's a treat.

My goats are the smartest animals on the farm.  Their powers of reasoning amaze me sometimes.  It only takes doing something different once, and they're on to you.  This doeling has figured out how to get the best hay at feeding time.  As the goats are eating the bale of hay in the feeder, the small alfalfa leaves (which are the best) fall down out of the bale.  They lay on the bottom in a layer of the choicest feed.



Wait for it.......Wait for it.....



Dive in!  She crawls right in under the bale, lays there and eats undisturbed 

Meanwhile, the rest of the herd eats from the top.

My New Babies

I've been wanting a team of horses for awhile.  I love horses and at one time, I rode a lot. When we were doing custom cattle ( calving other peoples cows) I was out everyday on horseback checking cows. But after a riding accident my balance isn't very good and I don't feel comfortable on top of a horse.  So now, I want to have a team of two heavy horses.  They would be useful to me; working in the garden, raking hay, feeding round bales, cleaning out the barn, and best of all, going in parades. 

Lyle hauls horses and when a herd of horses was being shipped, these two little babies were too small to be shipped.  The owner was going to put them down because they will not survive the winter without special care.  I just couldn't let that happen, so Lyle brought them home for me.  They were born this summer and have been running out on grass with their mothers  until last week.  The black filly had injured her leg, so I don't know if she'll ever be able to pull.  The blonde colt looks good, I will probably need to find a team mate for him.  They are finally eating and drinking and seem to be settling in,  Yesterday they finally came up to me so I could scratch their backs.  They have been very scared but I've got them in with Ben ( Hannah's new 2 year old who was also rescued from the meat truck) and he is so quiet that he keeps them calm.

This little filly looks really rough, but she's coming along.  I wasn't sure she was going to make it, but everyday sees her a little stronger.

This little stud colt is very sweet. He's much stronger and has settled in good.

Ben is Hannah's horse.  He's 2 and she will start training him this winter.  He is very quiet and level headed.  She shouldn't have much trouble starting him. When he came a month ago  he was so thin, but he's starting to put some weight on and looks so much better.
