Paul is back at work now after our vacation and "Mating Season" has officially begun. Paul will have to go over more of the details of what they do daily during this season. As you may have seen in our other posts, Calving is now done and most of the calves on the farm are already weaned!!!! Crazy how fast they can go from straight milk to only grass. Well, they get pellets and straw too, but still It's pretty neat.
Because we have been having some nice weather it's fun to take walks around the farm with my little sheepies in tow. Last walk, I took my camera with me so I could post some pictures of what Spring is starting to look like around here and what the Dairy Shed looks like. Finally leaves are on the trees, ducks are running around with all the millions (seriously) of ducklings in an unbreakable line behind them and the weather is getting warmer, it's really fun. Stay tuned for an update from Paul soon about the new season and his new responsibilities on the farm!
