We're back!

We are back to posting now. I moved into a rental house in the town of Loon Lake so I was just 3 miles from the animals. It was a long winter, but I think spring is here to stay. The animals all faired well over the winter. I had no water out there for them other than digging a hole in the ice with a hand held ice auger but it worked. :S The two cows were supposed to calve a few weeks ago but I guess they were not bred. We can get them bred back for free though....but I am still disappointed. Hopefully we will get a chute constructed soon so we can do preg checks on the cows so this doesn't happen again. A few months ago I sold 3 horses to help pay for the final payment on our mobile home so we could get it here. We actually got it home yesterday. We decided the best thing to do at this time was put it on a serviced lot in the town of Loon Lake just 3 miles from our land. We hope to sell it and then use that money to build a house on Skull Creek. More regular updates to come!
