He may be small, but his labor is free.
This is Owen, an up and coming farmhand at Twiss Hill. This summer Owen helped collect eggs(only cracked a couple), and rode with Krys on the tractor during haying. We are always happy to have kids on the farm and if they are old enough to walk we can usually find a job for them.
Winter has come once again, we woke up to a complete snow cover. The animals are all close to the barns for winter and eating the we made this summer. 9 cows are bred, with 2 more as a maybe. Bull has done his job and we will be keeping him for at least one more season. As far as the sheep go, I guess we will see in the spring. Cowboy(our Ram)is very interested in the ladies, but we are not sure if they are taking to him. Time will tell.
It's deer hunting season in Vermont and Krys has told me he will be filling our freezer with venison. I hope he does, but so far all we have seen are does.
Not much more to report, it's winter and sleeping and eating is about it for the animals until spring.
