New Rooster?

A few weeks ago, a little bantam rooster showed up in the goat field.  We thought that he might be a runaway from a near by farm.  We asked around, but thus far no one has come to fetch him.  It appears that he is here to stay for a little while... though he appears to like the lower goat field and hasn't yet decided to visit our hens up on the hill. 

Hay!

Last weekend, our hay was cut and baled.  Getting ready for winter!  Who knew grass was so precious a commodity?

Lower field all cut and raked

The Baler

Square bales in the upper field.

This is the second cutting of the summer.  The first cutting went into round bales which we sold.  The second cutting was made into square bales.  We divide the amount with the nice people who cut and bale it for us.  Hope that it is enough to last all winter... especially now that we have a pony to feed!
