Fourth Day

Started at 7, although at first I woke up at 5:15 and thought I was late. Then I thought about it and realized I didn't have to work until 7.

We started out with moving six of the later lambing ewes and their lambs to pasture and used the back of Bob's truck to haul them. Bob taught all of us the handling techniques of sheep and lambs, most of which I already knew but it was a good refresher. After we did that, I got to clean out the bedded pack that they used for the milkers last year, which only took about half an hour. After that I did some more cleaning around the farm and moved some wood out of the way of one of the drive ways. We then were told to hook up the brush hog to the back of the kubota, which Max and I had no problems with and Bob was very surprised with.

After break we did some painting of the wood house since everything is pretty much done for bringing in the sheep and getting the parlor ready. I worked a total of eight hours today. Muscles are sore that I didn't even know existed.

Tonight was good for me. I'm in a much better mood now. I guess I just needed a reminder... but god only knows why. Oh well. Tomorrow is 7 and also weaning/starting of milking as long as it doesn't rain!!
