These Entries Are Getting Fewer and Far Between

These posts are getting fewer and far between. Probably because I'm extremely busy and exhausted after working.

Thursday after my last post we cut cheese, and then worked on putting it into the molds. We had to keep rotating them, trimming them, and eventually they went into the cage. It was a pretty cool experience and I can't wait to do it again.

Friday I milked and had misc work to do. I helped Bob in the kitchen for a little while preparing for farmer's market in Brattleboro. Friday evening I milked, cleaned up, and fed the rams.

There is a ewe that didn't have lambs in the spring and we think she is bred so on Saturday morning I separated her into her own pen. And it's one more chore that we have to do. Saturday morning I milked and proceeded to clean up and do the pens outside. Saturday evening we were working on cleaning up the farm because visitors were coming from Boston, I guess it's one of their biggest customers.

Sunday morning Mark (he was up for the weekend to visit and went and worked with me saturday and sunday morning) and I made a new fence for the pigs and we moved them. This took a long time because the pigs are pastured in the hedgerow to clean it out so the sheep will have more pasture, so a lot of trimming was done in the hedgrow to get the fence to stay hot.

Sunday evening I had to take care of the pigs, rams, and ewes. I also had to get stuff ready for the next morning and put up fences for the milking ewes so they would have a place to go after milking.

This morning I worked at 5 because I was milking this morning. By the time I got done and took out the sheep, I had an hour left so I went into Bob's kitchen to help organize and clean it because it was an absolute mess. Today is my half day off and since I have this weekend off, I'm working tomorrow (my full day off).
