Feeding

Well, I finally started to feed the cows some hay earlier this week. With the lack of snow cover the cows were doing okay on the grass available but I penciled out, yes in this day of computers, PDAs, and calculators I still am more comfortable with a pencil and paper, what my hay supply looked like and I see that I will have plenty of hay to make it through the winter. So I will take a little better care of the cows and not graze the grass so short and feed hay. I don't know that the hired hand is too thrilled with the prospect but that is what he hired on for.<br />n<br />nIt gets a little monotonous around here when we are feeding hay to everything. It's a grind every day of the same thing without much a change in routine. I wouldn't give it up though, it my be a grind but it's my grind and I like it.<br />n<br />n<strong>All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power.
