Today was wonderfully warm, in the 70s and we didn't put any of it to waste! With the time change giving us more light after work, I didn't even bother taking the girls inside after we got home and once Eric joined us, I headed off to the barn. I've got both summer pastures resting now and while I mowed the smaller one in the fall, I haven't done much with the larger one since the animals have been on it through the winter. Now that we're past the freeze, they're off to preserve it a bit.
But there's manure that needs to be managed.
So I pulled out the ATV, hooked up the drag and went to town. The ground was just a touch too soft for my liking in the low places, but thankfully they haven't pooped in any large quantity there and I was able to spread out the piles so it can dry out and decompose once the heat hits. I also want to reseed to make sure the pasture will continue supporting the animals. I'm also planning to do the same to the winter pasture once it's resting.
I also confirmed that there were no fence breaks, which still leaves Gwyn's escape a mystery.
Did I talk about that? I'll have to check. That's a post all on its own, lol
