The Wash House


Every year we try to make some new additions to the front pasture. Last year we had a somewhat temporary set up for rinsing and working on calves while they were in the front pasture. This project had a July 4 deadline and is still not quite finished thanks mostly to the wonderful rains we have been having.
Last year we just had a chute and a temporary awning with some portable holding pens but it was still a far cry from the steel posts and portable gate panel that we had in the past. We even used to just tie the calves up to the side of the four wheeler and rinse them. Needless to say I am quite excited about getting this finished. We are getting excited about moving most of the calves down to the hillside paddocks as soon as possible.
They are supposed to be pouring concrete tomorrow and Darby is looking forward to putting his paw prints on the new cement. The workers always love that!
