The ground was covered in frost this morning, I think it was down to -15 last night, quite a bit colder than we have had it in a while. What suprised me this morning was how much power the sun has in it now, a big change since last month. By the time I finished feeding the horses and calves around 9:30 it was warm enough to take off my gloves and as I walked, the heat from the sun was so nice on my bare hands...Spring is getting closer.
I want to finish off my breeder pens and move my Barred Rock pair over there so the hens will be ready to go with their own roosters soon. I have 7 + 10 eggs growing in the incubator now, but they will not be purebreds.
R found a fresh brown muley antler yesterday. It was down where they were feeding the heifers. It was just a small 2 point but now the treasure hunt for antlers can begin!
It is a lot more fun than picking up cans for sure, we find most of them while riding but it is quite a feat to carry them home...sometimes we find a better one so we leave one of the poorer ones in its place. Usually 4 good sized ones at a time are the most I can manage depending on how far I have to ride with them (and who I am riding at the time!). My favorite thing is to scout around and find the matching pair of a set, especially if they are a little unusual.
