Had a horse filled day today. Started out in the horse barn & stayed there all morning & a little bit after lunch. The horses decided they would like a little breakfast & get out of the foggy cold windy morning. Once I kicked them out again, it was time to muck the stalls. All cleaned up, I decided to tackle the hay stall. I'm always cautious walking in there because I don't know what is under all that hay! Forked up all the hay & used it as bedding in the stalls as well as adding 4 fresh hay bales to the hay stall.
The cattle inventory is as finished as it is going to get until we do a round up this spring. I did get pictures of all the bulls & formatted their inventory to match the commercial inventory spreadsheet. I think Uncle Don is going to curl his toes in delight at the new inventory. At least I'm hoping he will!
The sun finally came out late afternoon & so I lunged Ruby & then went for a short ride. I think she was more interested in the peppermint treats in my pocket than anything else, but we had a good workout & ride. Tomorrow, I will officially adopt her. Am really excited!!
The calves were a little confused with the new feeding arrangement tonight. Their old feeding area is just a mud pit & so we moved the troughs. Most of them went bounding into the old area only to freak out & come running back to the new area. So funny when they realized that the food wasn't going in there. Silly little calves!!
I'm pooped from scooping poop today & am going to go collapse in my freshly clean sheeted bed. :-)
