I got in from the barn relatively early last night. Bruce had a couple batches of feed to mix after milking and then he should have been able to get home. I could hear the 4 wheeler coming and going long after I thought he should be home so I wondered what was going on. He didn't answer his cell phone so I just waited for him to call if he needed help. It turned out that the heifers had gone through a fence and were around the silo bags. The last thing we need is them doing damage to the bags so he had to make sure they were secure in another pasture. Mike likes this change of routine. Bruce just had an unnecessarily late night. This morning we realized we had 2 heifers in heat so they were probably riding around and went through.
Bruce managed to get some haylage chopped yesterday but in the process found another hose leaking on the tractor. He is wondering if taking the tractor apart earlier and then putting it back together may have cracked the older hoses. The tractor has 10,000 hours on it so miscelleneous repairs aren't a surprise. He found a hose at a dealership about an hour from here. We are lucky in the fact that one of their employees lives about 15 minutes from here so he brought it home with him tonight and Ed will go get it for us in the morning. Ed cut hay today. Perhaps there is hopes of us getting done with 3rd crop yet!
