Jan. 17, 2009 Repair Down Fence/Unload Hay

Winds had blown tumbleweeds against the north fence of Cecil Pasture and snow accumulation had then snapped metal t-posts and completely layed the fence down in some places. Guy, Ginny, Tom, Cody, Don, Steve, Blaine B. & Matt G. spent a beautiful January day removing & burning the tumbleweeds and repairing the worst portion of the fence. Tom & Ginny also brought up a large load of hay which was unloaded into the barn. Tom & Ginny have also been doing some research about how to keep the water troughs from freezing. They purchased a solar powered water pump which they installed at the Knolls tank which produces a continuous bubbling of air that is supposed to keep the water from freezing. We'll see how it works.
