For those of you that read my mother’s blog, this will be old news. But since it has taken up a lot of last week, I thought I would talk about it anyway. The old scale house has been needing some work for quite a while now.

A couple weeks ago I talked about testing hay for the cows’ diet. While most of the cows are still out in the badlands, the Big Trails cows are now in the field eating hay.
