Calves, hay, pitchfork

The calves are doing well.  No more crying.  They are eating well.  They are eating from the new bale in the metal feeder, the old hay in the wooden feeder, the Vitalix protein supplement, and the apples and pears I give them every day or two as a treat.

Here is the hay in a photo taken last week.  Being shorter the calves could not reach the top of the hay bale. So I have been pushing hay off the top.  The hay is very tightly wrapped.    So between an irresistible force (me) and an immovable object (the bale) my pitchfork suffered the consequences and broke.  See below for the fixed pitchfork handle; fixed with duct tape and wire.
