Congrats on the $300 on the meatpen!
Thanks, was worried with him having the only one if he would get a good price. Definitely worth our time to do it again. :clap
Mowed more pasture last night... didn’t go as quick as DH wanted...lots of fine stems that were laying down. But we did get it cut. The area we cut a couple weeks ago is looking good. Did find another fence line but was in the weeds so didn’t damage the mower as we will mow the weeds with a bush hog.

Your farm is beautiful and will make a home for your family. I envision a “home place” where your children grow up, come back for visits, holidays, bring their children and a mad confusion of the best kind that only a loving family can provide.

Another 250 60+# bales in the shed. :D
Another long night though as we had a blown tire on the 2nd hay wagon as we were putting it up... :confused:
shoved it in the shed anyways. Did get the new Tedder. Not the one we demo’d As it was too beat up too much especially as it was new...so we got a bit smaller one just wasn’t beat up for the same price. I did almost step on a resident 3ish foot snake. Fairly sure it was a fox snake... he or she can definitely stay for rodent control. It went in the weeds and made a rattle sound, I know many snakes do that but sure made us stop..rattle snakes are not common to our area but they are here. 4D4E09D9-EE7B-491B-B28F-235E21BF4A8A.jpegE0EBC095-D8F9-4323-BDC6-FBE72469E45A.jpeg2C66F326-EEEE-427E-AB1F-0E938C5309D7.jpeg

For some reason I am at a loss....I don't think we have the same "definition" to the word "lazy day"....cause ya get more done in half a day, than I can get done in a couple of weeks....:lol:....good to hear ya are having such good hay production and having the equipment to do it with is a "blessing" to your DH, I'm sure....it is much better for the wagon to be in your barn with a blown tire with the "chore" Done, than to have to deal with it on the roadside somewhere.....:)
