Are We in Kansas?

Good Night It's WINDY!!!!

Kyle just came in from the garden and said there

is a bunch of wind damage to the rattlesnack beans

that are growing on the trellis.

We've had strong winds (not hurricane, but still) 

all day long.

And it's coming from the NORTH so it's COLD!

I'm wearing a thermal long sleeved shirt,

a giant sweat shirt

and a coat.

BRRRRRRR!

However, he DID pick a really nice carrot!

The other two he picked were pretty small,

but TASTY!

He spent some time this afternoon

(while I went to get my hair cut)

finishing the new facility.

This is looking out through the sweep 

towards the catch pen.

From the same spot but looking to the 

left down the alley to the scales

and out either back into their pasture

or into the trailer...

The catch pen minus the 12' gate out into the pasture.

And the feed bins.

The corner heading into the sweep.

He put panels in the corner so they

don't get stuck in a 90 degree - they just

continue along the fence line into the sweep

and from there into the alley.

Looking into the sweep from the catch pen.

He learned a LOT while building and re-building 

Linda's two facilities and we are benefiting from

his vast knowledge and experience!

All he has left is to put up the big gate

and Rod will build and install the feed bins

and then we are ready to give it a try!

We plan to feed the cows in there for about

a week and then we will try running they down

the alley and over the scales.

Exciting times!!!
