Today and tomorrow some of this snow will melt off. Then this weekend it’s supposed to get cold again. If the forecast holds we will get back up into seasonal temps early next week — highs in low 40s and lows in 20s.

Deer are all over the lower barn plot. The clover seems to be what they’re really after. They are hitting the brassicas some too, but I messed up and over-seeded them this fall. The snow wasn’t stopping them…

I scooped a little snow yesterday afternoon at the head of our driveway; then brought the gravel up with the shovel just at the tire tracks the last 15’ or so. Our front wheel drive cars can make it out now and I don’t have to drive the Land Cruiser every day. With these temps, this snow isn’t...

Looks like the snow is over for us, ended up with about 8” or so it appears. It’s 6 and blowing pretty good out there right now.

I guess winter is arriving a little late. Just getting started out there. Lots of firewood (good ol hedge) is ready to go. 8 degrees with -12 wind chill right now.

I think they're smarter than cows, I've been doing this for several years and rarely do they eat that much at a time, even when they're there a while. Every single day, there are deer on the 2 bales I put out 3 weeks ago, and they've hardly put a dent in the amount of hay yet. I would be more...

The neighbor has been seeing this really good young buck. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what he looks like next year.

Took all of about 16 hours for the deer to get on the bales. I really hope this fella drops his headgear somewhere close.

Yep, I was told by a farming buddy, who usually has around 80 total acres of alfalfa, that we wouldn’t have to worry much about storing small square bales, we would sell most of it without a problem. He also said, if we give a small discount, people will often come and pick it up right out of...

Good info, it's too bad about the goldrush, too, they are great apples! We picked a bunch of them at an orchard on our trip to Wisconsin this past fall.

Getting some good rain today

We ended up staying in Mishicot, WI. We had a wonderful time. We ended up not fishing, most days we just drove and enjoyed the views. We will definitely be back one day!

Don’t shoot rifles much. When we do, it’s only for does during the bonus season. My favorite is .223 55 gr soft nose and the Mrs likes a .243 80 gr soft nose.
