Success

I think I'm just going to work weekends all the time, and not work during the week.  I can't believe how much work we got done today, and how much better I felt.  Granted, it seems like I always could have done more at work - I still have to get a grip on the reality of farming and how much time things actually take in the day.  

But today we moved 70 sheep to better shelter, created a space for the other 22 ewes undercover, bred a cow, got the cows acquainted to the squeeze chute (because they HATE it), researched about mites and lice in chickens, and did some treatment for mites/lice in the chicken coop.  Personally, I organized Christmas presents (which are definitely very late right now), cooked a nice dinner, and worked out.  Awesomely, successful day.

We also came in this morning to a beautiful calf that was born last night.  I've been waiting for this cow (Devon 71) to calve all week.  Actually for a month - she was so big we couldn't get her through the squeeze chute last month (unsqueezed)!  She's gorgeous.  And I am so happy she was born in the warmth of the barn.
