Mud Glorious Mud??

Rain, rain go away....I am sorry.... we need you to come back another DAY!

We have had lots and lots of rainy, grey, dark days.
And everything is WET, WET, WET!

The sheep are wet, the cows are wet, the roads are wet and the paddocks and BOGGY!



It makes getting around the farm a little difficult. 
It is too wet to get lots of work done. 
Lambs need to be weaned from their mothers. 
Cows are due to have needles before their babies arrive..... and the list goes on!

In winter on our farm the grass barely grows, the dirt is too cold and there is little sun.
So all the animals must be fed extra food by Dad.


We make hay from the spring grass nearly every year and store it away in sheds ready for winter time. 



'Henry' Ford and Dad spend hours feeding out hay to the cattle.


The cattle love the hay, it fills their bellies!
