Last week we moved the ewe flock from the far western oak tree pasture back across the Schommer crossing to the east bahia field. They need to start working on the grass on the eastern side of the farm. Left behind were their hay feeders that were not needed in the new pasture. But now I need hay for some of the lambs, so I set up with the Fiat to bring back the feeders and the hay in them.
A couple of days ago we had a fierce thunderstorm with some high winds. We lost some tree limbs up near the house and barns, and as I was to discover trying to bring the hay back at the Cajun Corner. There is a huge oak tree at the corner and a large limb broke off, falling onto the gates and fence at the corner. I tried lifting the limb with the tractor forklift, but it was too heavy.
To get back with the hay feeders, I ended up going through the muddy Schommer crossing.
