Busy Day

Tuesday was a busy day here at the farm. With the sun shining, we were trying to get caught up on some work. Rabbits are due beginning Thursday. I put nesting boxes in all the cages and moved some rabbits into individual cages. During the winter months, I let some of the doe rabbits "buddy up" with others to help keep warm. We did some spring cleaning in our tractor shed by reorganizing it today too. It was really cold in the shade of the shed with the wind blowing. It looks a lot neater and cleaner. Cut and split another load of wood for the wood shed. I'm thinking that we have at least 5 more loads to do before we are done. I don't even want to think about a few trees that we have on the back of the farm that need working up too. We had a couple of pines to fall during these past few months of rain, snow and wind. I also let some more of my Nigerian Dwarf does and kids out of their kidding pens and put a few more in the pens. These girls will be delivering in less than 2 weeks and I have several that will be first timers. I can keep a better eye on them in the pens and the heat lamps are readily available if needed. Delivered a ewe lamb yesterday evening at Andy's place. Their brown and white ewe was having trouble delivering its lamb and needed some help. She had a single birth this year and the lamb was large. This new lamb is brown and white with a big white blaze on her face. This is the last of the lambs to be born. He had a good year with all ewes and one ram lamb.
