When you add snow and ice to our steep hillside, you end up with very limited areas that you can get to safely to feed.
The goats usually rotate around the farm and pick on hay that J feeds the cattle. But lately, they have been hanging out with the horses eating hay with them. J has taken to unrolling hay in the road,
then coming back with a pitchfork to throw it down the hill.
This is very difficult with horses, goats and dogs all in the way.
But every day J says, "at least the calves made it to the feedlot."
And at it is nice to not be kidding or calving right now.
Maggie was caught enjoying the hay. Some animals just know how to relax.

Looks just like our place! I need to throw the old chaff on my paths again so I can keep my feet under me.
Love the dogs chillin' in the hay. Smart pups.
Agree with Shirley about the dogs.
So glad you had good weather to get the calves shipped off (and missed all this).
