Yes, we are still here. Along with selling of daylilies, we are preparing to cut/bale grass hay for the goats for winter.
Our goat herd is about 40 head, with 23 of those being breed does that will start kidding in the middle of October. Their graze area is about 6 acres. We have about 15 acres we keep as open pasture. And if weather permits we have two cuttings a year. Had one in May of this year and are working on the second.
Here is Sherman raking hay into rows. The hay has been cut, dried for several days, then teddered. If time permits, we will begin baling this evening.
So guess I better take my wonderful farmer a glass of iced tea.
Should be back tomorrow.
Bye
