Spring Mischief

Bookmark and Share 
We've survived another winter down on the farm, at last the days are getting longer and the grass is starting to grow. In our part of the world winters mean frosts on the ground and some years we have the occasional snowfall.
In winter the nutritional level of our pasture really falls away, our cattle visibly loose weight, on top of this they are usually pregnant as our aim is for a spring calving. To keep the herd going we buy in large round hay bales to fill their stomachs. The old girls know the routine and work their way through a bale over the course of  a week, that is until the calves arrived with an even better idea.
wonder what you do with this round thing

where did it go?

that was fun- can we have another one to play with




spreading the round thing all over the paddock was hard work


uh oh!! better make myself scarce -I think we are in big trouble
