Rainy this morning with some clearing in the afternoon. I cleaned up the house and got everything ready to demonstrate at Biltmore Estate this weekend. I did typing on and off throughout the day so I could keep caught up.



I fed early between the rain. Since we let Fanny and her calf back out with the sheep, it is a race to get everything times just right so she will be eating while the sheep and goats are eating. If everything works all will be finished at the same time so there is no hogging the food. If Fanny gets through before the sheep and goats, she likes to go to their troughs and and knock them out of the way. The horses are getting antsy about having to stay up in the stalls so much but with the way it has been lightening and storming around here, it is not safe for them to be out.

Duty left early this morning to go to Albermarle county to pick up some pigs which will be shown at the Mountain State Fair. He picked out the pigs and got them back home before too late.
