Haynes is back to it. This morning I found the large metal feeder pushed into the corner of the middle pasture. And push it some distance Haynes did this time.
Lately Haynes has been good at not pushing the feeder. But I had been using the feeder in the north pasture and I think the feeder's legs had sunk into the ground making it hard for Haynes to move the feeder. This Spring, much more than usual, the ground is wet and soft. Even when driving the tractor to bring out a hay bale in the north pasture the tractor's tires sink more than usual. Usually in the Spring the tractor's tire tracks would be made. This year ruts are formed.
The middle pasture has more snow and therefore the ground is firmer. Therefore Haynes can push the feeder after the hay has been eaten. And another difference is that much of the remaining snow is mainly hard ice. It can be hard to walk on as the ice is not flat and my feet can slip sideways when walking. So much ice this Spring is odd. But I think that may be because we had a slow melt, and there were lots of melting then freezing over and over, and the snow turned to ice.
