We installed our new cattle shoot and put up another interior fence in the winter paddock.  The vet came to take care of deworming and a few shots so the cows are good to go for winter.  We have 6 pregnant cows- so that is good!   We sold our steer and bull calf and bought some additional hay for the winter.  Plans are to improve our hayfields next year so we don’t have to buy hay again.  Meanwhile, we are feeling pretty good about our winter preparation this year!  Last thing on our list is to winterize the stock tank so the tank heater can run as efficient as possible.  And, we have been so lucky with our fall weather!  It has been in the 60’s most of November and the weekends have been mostly dry and sunny- great weather for working on the farm!  Now we are coming up to the Wisconsin Gun Deer hunt, so all projects are on hold for the next 2 weeks.  Time to stock up the freezer with venison!  And we may be seeing some of that white stuff soon…
