Wow, not a single blog post by me in June – that’s terrible! So much going on, I’ll blame ‘not-enough-time’ for my lackluster performance here. Plus, I’ve been tweeting a bit of it. If you want to peruse, you can just view them at http://twitter.com/lambspork
We now have a new cement floor in the silo, and a full crop of haylage on top of it! The feeder was built by the excellent father-in-law, and the lambs are growing (and handling the heat not tooo baaad…)
Wheat harvest has begun, on a record early 14th of July. I would have started a day earlier, but I had to get my tire back from getting fixed. I didn’t think I’d need it quite that soon! All in all, it took about 5 afternoons to get the combine ready to go.. and if all goes well, it will only take 4 days to combine both Bob’s and my own wheat.. something seem wrong with this picture? I guess the combine should be pretty much set for the barley too though..
The crops are looking great with all this heat we’ve had. So far the only thing short on moisture is the 2nd cut hay. Bob has started his, but it is pretty short..
