Spring

The birds are back, the spring peepers are peeping, and it's spring on the farm. I think we're finally safe from snow- although having said that, I'm now expecting a three foot blizzard.

Adam and his dad spent Saturday securing the green corral for Vorenus and his girls to come out this weekend.

We now have the world's most secure corral. This may be the Alcatraz of fencing. Not only do we have the standard steel stock fencing, but there are giant (and heavy!) boards securing the bottoms and the tops are secured with steel and the boards are screwed to other boards and well, these yaks are going nowhere. They kept asking what I thought of the fencing, and keeping in mind that some of the fences on my family's farm look like they've seen their best days during the Kennedy administration, all I could say was "That's some fence." And it is. It's pretty impressive.
This weekend the other side will get done so that Pullo and his girls can also come outside.

We're really excited to be able to let the crew out this weekend; I'm sure they're just as excited to get out of the barn and into some fresh air and grass.

This was the view of the back fields last night:


Note the utter lack of snow. Spring is awesome.
