Before the Mosquitoes Came

Before the mosquitoes came out, I went to the pasture to bring the herd in and to maybe snap a few pictures. Every picture you see comes directly from my phone, no manipulation or tweaking of any kind (there's no time!)


I thought you  might like to see the herd since it's been a little while. Everyone seems to be doing ok. Jim needs to go on grain but I need to convince him he needs to go into the barn. I can always tell that summers the barn stalls aren't used that often. The spiders take over and build amazing cobwebs (of course we don't have spiders in the winter) but it always surprises me out little I'm in the barn during the summer months and how often I'm in the barn during the winter. I guess that's what  barns are for.


We may be starting to grain Dude as well. He looks ok but I want to keep an eye on him. We wont' have Junior this winter so I wont know what to do with myself, no hard keepers but I do think that we'll be looking at graining others that are starting to show their age a bit more. Jim is not a hard keeper but we'll be graining him, along with Dude and possibly one or two others. Otherwise, everyone stays fat and sassy on a round bale.


But I seem to be rambling so I'll stop and post pictures from last night.

Dude (not the best picture of him but he was getting annoyed at the herd not following him for nightly grain)
