It’s been a very cold start this winter!  Temps have been way below average .  The Wisconsin deer hunt came and went- but it was also a cold week.  No big bucks to report, however.  We’ve been watering the cows using the well in the old farmhouse.  Since it’s not winterized, we carry the pump and hose back and forth which is kind of a pain, but it works.  Craig got the loader on the tractor and that has been working great to get the bales out to the cows.  We had to purchase a bale feeder since the cows are such “pigs” when they eat!  Now that it gets dark so early, we have to do our work in the dark- note for next year- get a yard light!    We gave the calves shots last weekend, but before that we had to buy a few more fence panels to finish our handling facility.  It was our first time using it, and giving shots, but it went pretty well!
