2/3: put the 4H lambs on halters (Pickles, Posey, Messy) they jumped and played dead and did anything but walk...
4/5: celebrated Fluffy's birthday, yes the rabbits. M made a bunny safe cake.
6: M helped with a difficult lambing
7: replacement heifers

With the cold I haven't been taking many pictures. But these are from a bit ago.

I still slip on the ice now hidden under the snow!

The heifers are growing and feeding them is an adventure as they are pretty sure they can help me pour the pails.

Cover crop grazing season.
Just peas and oats planted this year and a few weeds...
Cows, calves and bulls all grazing. So far they have only moved themselves once into a new section before I actually let the fence down.
