Baymule’s Sheep Sitting Service!

[Baymule]

I put the visitors on the super bag program. Smallest amount I can get in the super bag is 500 pounds. I got 505 pounds. $85.85 comes out to .17 cents a pound. I’m gonna try to synchronize our “bags” and get them on one trip.

Taking a break. I had to clean out an area from alfalfa leftovers and de-junk to make room. I have 2 barrels, one still had oil residue in it, must clean that out! The other barrel was ready to go, as was the metal trash can @Margali brought with her. Her feed is in a different building because there’s no room in the portable building where my feed is.

I backed truck up, arranged 5 gallon buckets and got my metal scoop.

I started filling buckets.

Five buckets in the barrel.

12 buckets in the barrel. It’s full.

I filled her trash can and I had one empty so I went and got it.

Once I got everything cleaned out and was ready to start, it only took 30 minutes to empty the super bag. I’ll get the other barrel clean and have it ready for next time.

Looks like a lot of work - but the price is right!!

Came back to add, bailing out the feed only took 30 minutes, but going to and from, cleaning out said shed to a partial level of dirty cleanliness took all morning.

But you accomplished something!

And you won't have to do the "rearranging" every time.

What are you doing with those empty bulk bags?

I take them back when I go get feed.

@Baymule Next time I go home, I will swing by your place on way back with a pair of my 55 drums. I think 2 fit in the highlander, LOL.

I don't think I'll need them, I washed out and cleaned the other drum and it is empty. A drum holds a lot of feed. I'm thinking to try to time it so I can pick up feed for your sheep the same time I pick up for mine. That will save me a trip. I go once a month, your feed should last close to 2 months. I'll figure it out as I go. I have to go when I'm practically out because of storage cans. I have a barrel in my other shed plus 5 metal trash cans. Last time I went, I still had a full trash can of feed and wound up with 5 gallon buckets of feed in the utility room.

This is so nice. I’m glad you are able to help @Margali keep her sheep. What a disappointment that would have been!

@Baymule is wonderful!
