Yesterday and today have been much quieter than the first days of the week. Yesterday Bruce and I both had things to do in town, both in different directions. By the time the day was done we had been to most corners of the county. Domenic was not back yet yesterday but was feeling good enough to come today. It is really amazing what a difference it makes in Bruce's day having just a few extra hours of help. We had another calf born yesterday, this time a heifer calf from one of our heifers. Like always, she will be switched to milk replacer in a couple days.
Today Ed stopped in while we were milking and offered to move stacks this afternoon. He was envisioning the stacks that are still in the field burried in snow, and we all know that this is entirely possible. This time last year we had a snow storm that burried everything in 15 inches of snow. Bruce used the skid steer and cleaned up an area to park them. Having them moved also allows them to haul manure where they need to and perhaps chisel plow yet if the weather and time both cooperate. Ed spent most of the afternoon moving stacks. It is a relatively slow process since you can only move one at a time so we are really glad to have him get that done for us.
