Yay!!! Spring is finally showing up, and with that it brings so much to our farm. Fixing fence is one of the things on the list that needs to get done before the large animals can be let out on pasture. The storms we had caused some branches to come down and unfortunately a branch landed on our fence in the back pasture that needed to be repaired. I actually like helping putting up fence and fixing fence, it gets me outside.
We make paddocks for the cows as we do rotational grazing for our cows, and when we do that, those cows seem to know that they are going to be let out of the corral. We don't keep them there all winter only when spring gets closer as they will tear up the pasture so bad that the pastures will be pretty much ruined.
They kept their eyes on us the whole time we were putting up the electric fence that we use to make the paddocks.
Calves are new to the electric fence, and this calf whose name is Violet has to learn that the fence is not her friend. Violet got out and it took her a bit to figure out that all the big cows did not follow her. (LOL) We only name the cows we plan to keep.
Trees are finally leafing out, and our grapevines are looking good this year.
We purchased a greenhouse and I was so excited to get started with the plants we like to grow. The black barrel is filled with water to keep the greenhouse warm at night when the temps dip low. I also use the water to water the plants.
Life is going good; Jim has been slowly feeling better finally getting his strength back not 100% but almost there. Treatments seem to be working and we feel so blessed.
