We are finally getting some warmer weather!  But, there have been days of rain and the pasture is thick with mud, especially by the water tank.  We moved it to higher ground and that helped alot.  The cows don’t seem to mind, though.  Can’t wait til the mud dries up!  We spent a whole weekend cleaning up around the farm.  There was an old shed we torn down last fall with lots of wood and junk piled in it’s place.  And there was a lot more junk stored in the basement of the old farmhouse too.  So, we got a 7’x20′ dumpster and filled it up on one day!  There are still items like old air conditioners, appliances, etc that we are taking to a local recycling center in May.  And, we started a metal pile that will be sent to a metal recycling center- our neighbor will haul it for us.  We don’t know what metal prices are, but are hoping we get enough to pay part of the cost of the dumpster.  So glad we got all this done!   We will be making a road beside the pole shed that will make it much easier to go back and forth.  And we are looking at moving the handling facility back there where it’s higher ground.  Lots of work, but it would be worth it.  Time to start a “to do” list for this year!  And we are still waiting for the first Spring calf….
