Hay bale. Mud. Fence fix.

Sunny dry day.  Good.  Give us time to dry things out.  The recent snow broke off some evergreen branches.  Late day I spent time cleaning some of the branches up out of the north pasture. I have more branches to clean up in the middle pasture tomorrow.

I put out a hay bale this morning.  Parts of the corral and extended corral are still muddy but I made it. When walking I was careful where I walked so as to not get stuck in the mud again.  I drove the tractor a little extra near the hay feeder.  That gave me some easy places to walk when I unwrapped the netwrap from the hay bale while the tractor held up the hay bale.

Somewhere on the lower left side of the photo is my lost sock.

No new calves today.  When looking at the calves I found this one in the loading corral's runway.  I herded her out then repaired the fence panel in the runway the cattle had pushed off one railroad tie.  I added some more long nails.  Maybe that will stop the cattle from moving the fence panel.

The last calf born is doing ok.  Most of the other calves hang around each other, or are next to their mother.  This last calf usually is elsewhere laying and relaxing.  And he seems ok with being by himself.
