Fixing the trailer
Finding the tires that were the right size for our little pig trailer was an absolute nightmare! Ted had to hunt for them all over the place, and he finally found them about an hour from here.

The girls are excited!
THIS was delivered for them today! They could barely contain their excitement! They hauled butt across that field to see their new house get unloaded. Now to get that new fence installed (fingers crossed the weather will cooperate so it can go in next week!)!

I swear, next year we are getting all that we need during the first and second cuttings. It's no fun getting it in the cold! We have to have it because even though the weather here keeps bouncing around like Mother Nature is on a trampoline, the grass in the pasture still looks like this: … Continue reading More hay…
