4 bucks, 4bucks, 4bucks, and 4 more bucks





What happened to the weather? It was around 70 degrees Saturday when we sheared 16 yearling bucks. Hung tarps and plastic around their barn giving them a wind break. All are in good condition and getting plenty of feed so they should be okay, but they are not liking this cold weather. I tried not to notice the white stuff that keeps falling from the sky, and no sun again. Really would like to plant my garden, but it is still too wet. Moved more blocks to make another raised bed to start some early plants. The hens believe spring is here, cranking out the eggs. I've learned to eat lots of eggs in the spring and do without in December and January. All the old timers ate in season, they would never consider eating a fake tomato from the grocery store in the middle of winter. They only ate home grown tomatoes, or some they had canned in a jar. They were way ahead of their time.
