Lambing went a treat and calving has sailed by as well. All cows out in the clear but frosty fields.
Still haven't put the polytunnel doors back on their hinges(gale force winds are not polytunnel friendly!)
Bluebells are out,primroses as well. .Still getting visited by the mink! We are losing chickens almost every night.Trying to catch the blighter but they seem to know when you are onto them!If push comes to shove, we will have to move the remaining chucks out of the field.I do remember that we had trouble there about six years ago?
Middle of November 2010
Cows are now in and fields are boggy. What a change.Chickens are now all up on the North side of the river but unfortunately our fox problems have followed us!!
DECEMBER 2010
Snow,snow and more snow!Who would have thought we would be facing snow TWICE in 2010?We are spending the whole day carting hay and feed out to the animals and trying to keep the water running and topped up.Putting water out for the chickens and turkeys is a mission because it is freezing soon afterwards!Never mind, much better than the rain.
Remember, please phone in or email any orders for Saturday market to avoid disappointment.
See you soon Grant
