Winter Feeding

J asked me to go with him the other day to feed the cattle.  He was driving through the field of heifers first and needed help getting through the gate.  Otherwise, they would have followed the tractor on to where he was feeding the cows instead. 

 This was after we got through the gate. 

 They were really eyeing that bale of hay.  But it was for the cows.

They would just have to wait their turn. 

 The hay J is using now is net wrapped, so that has to be taken off before he can unroll it.

 Still more anxious watchers.   J unrolled a bale and a half for the cows. 

 The heifers finally got their part. 

 The cows decided they were not getting fed in the same place as the day before, and came down to the hay.

And the horses ended up with the center out of the last bale.  Then J had 2 more farms to feed at.  A full days work, 7 days a week all winter long.   I'm afraid to ask how many gates he has to go though every day.
