holiday season

Some very tasty rack of lamb created by the skilled hands of my daughter


Teaching my brother in law how to operate a Skid Steer Loader.
Not a typical Christmas day activity.

solving problems one bunge cord at a time

Here is my solution to sheep climbing on the bale while in the feeder.

Tie the net to the top of the feeder with a bunge cord.

See the red arrows in the picture below.

It is now a week for this bale in the feeder. 

I had to move whats left of the bale into a position for the sheep to eat without standing on their hind legs.
and then a big surprise!
The sheep are thinking that if they pretend not to notice, that maybe I won't notice either.
