Thursday January 10, 2008

We're hard into winter by now. Feeding involves pulling a sled of 2 bales across a pasture with 2 feet of snow (about 140 lbs) two times per day. Breaking ice every day but still not happy about how much they are drinking. Have found a water option that might work out here - submersible propane heaters for water tanks. $500. Might be worth it. Just evaluating.

Cory goes to his new home this afternoon. Thinking of sending Ryder, Rose and Cami of for a couple of months of training. Still want to get Sahara going on training, but would like to wait a few months to start that up again. Thinking of weaning babies at the end of this next week.

Been snowing most days for the past two weeks +. We usually get a few new inches every night. Our snow blower is broken, so I am shoveling paths to all the pastures (and through them - anywhere I have to go daily to feed). Hoping to get that fixed soon!
