Harvesting Hay

This is the Oat hay we grew this year being harvested. I love to see all the bales in the field. I got home just in time to watch it being baled.
















These are the happy Sheep getting out for the first time in months. (while the oats were growing they were confined to their pen. It was a long winter. They were so happy to get out in the pasture again.













A little nibble here, a little nibble there. They had two glorious days of taste testing the bales before they were picked up and taken to the people we sold it to. They will spend the summer grazing on what ever was left behind. We may plant a pasture for them later, but for now they get lots of mowed grass (from our many lawns) and alfalfa too. They also have big mineral blocks to lick and chew on.
More later,
