I don't want then to get too fat as any pregnant ones may have difficult birthings.<br /><br />Tombstone - He has either one wheel drive (wheel barrow) or two foot drive, no motorized assistance.

The farmer we get it from tells us we are safe as an established customer but I have heard some bad stories from others out there.<br /><br />Teresa - We probably had a little over a week left but it would have to have been moved on a daily basis from the goat barn to the others - not an easy task in the snow.<br /><br />RHJF - I hope he learns from this for next Winter!<br /><br />Autumn - He says he doesn't mind the exercise...Chai Chaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845100961653150736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353764878995672966.post-67908788149393253312012-03-08T06:39:18.057-08:002012-03-08T06:39:18.057-08:00What a long way to haul!

At our house I'm the one who is guilty of overfeeding so I can empathise with the Commander!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353764878995672966.post-65809297266466335012012-03-07T19:14:52.569-08:002012-03-07T19:14:52.569-08:00It's always scary when the hay runs low.It's always scary when the hay runs low.Teresahttp://edenhills.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353764878995672966.post-41451902640696152182012-03-07T18:32:33.775-08:002012-03-07T18:32:33.775-08:00I hope at the price of hay this year that you did ...I hope at the price of hay this year that you did not have to refinance the homestead to pay for it.<br /><br />Does the Commander have 4WD?<br /><br />Love Molly's picture.<br /><br />Stay warm and stay dry.Tombstone Livestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022776395762826903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353764878995672966.post-74166907402551395612012-03-07T16:52:50.875-08:002012-03-07T16:52:50.875-08:00On, no...

We have six bales left and that should last our three llamas for almost six more weeks... so we might pick up one or two. We've had a LOT of waste, though, this winter, with it's calm temps and no snow.Mary Annhttp://www.calamityacres.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
