Save This Farm

Perfect Weather
Sometimes you catch a break. Today we began fencing the new calf pen. Last time we started a fencing job the temperature was 98 and the humidity level was 98. Today the temperature remained in the 70s and the humidity level was 20. The job was still hard but not horrible.
The cows came to watch the beginning of the job. They seemed content to just watch and be quiet; but, when their green buckets were used for hauling water to the post holes they became very verbal. Green buckets equal food, and no food was being served. Sometimes we train our animals too well.
Fencing facts:
1) fence early in the morning (this is for people other than me)
2) Jake will not help fence (he has learned some bad habits from me)
3) Cows are not much help with fencing (especially if you use their green buckets)
