Signs of Spring March 5, 2014

SpringsThe tiny little bits of fluffy green are the alfalfa plants waking up from a long winter’s sleep.

Terry starts disking today, which means Mr. Davis will be moving his cows out — probably this week end.

The farm work has to start now so the ground will be ready for water on April 1st.  The ditch company turns the water into all the canals the last week of March.  Therefore, ground work MUST begin now.

The cows have gotten so use to Terry and I riding or walking out to check on them they don’t even get excited enough to move.

Come on Number 22, you need to move over!    Scoot!

cow-e  That is close enough!  Now Scoot!!  Clap, clap!  Sigh!

Finally….

She turned  and moseyed on into the corn field!

Fences

In two years these little cuties will be back, ready to have some little ones of their own.

As you can see, we will be fixing fence as soon as the cows leave–they are a tad hard on them.

Off now to get some outside work done.
