The other calves were sleeping in the sun. I decided to get my camera for some photos. Of course when I came back minutes later some calves were now awake. When sleeping this calf's head was between the two boards. And a few calves were still fast asleep.
Yesterday I cleaned up all the fallen branches in the middle pasture. I hauled the ones I will cut for firewood back home. I'll cut them shorter for the woodstove another day.
This afternoon I spent lots of time raking the manure away from the many trees in the middle pasture. I got 80% of the trees raked around. I'll rake around the rest tomorrow. Raking around the trees makes harrowing easier and a little quicker. And the trees in the middle pasture are more likely to have some of their roots a little above ground, which is hard on the harrow.
I also removed a metal section from the middle pasture. One less thing to harrow around. I never used this section or saw anyone else use it. Not sure why it was put there. Maybe someone used it as method to easily load something on a low flatbed trailer. I don't need it.
Removing it I found side arms under the ground. I guess they are used to hold the end upright and not have the ground move and make the end tip over.
Whenever I get around taking my metal crap to the recycling place, this will go also.
On the side of one of the arms, in the dirt, I found this reflector. The metal is old and rusting, but the reflector still works.
