We've been praying for rain. It hasn't come yet. The Lord is providing us with an opportunity for growth! Our pond at the Foster Place has been getting dangerously low...
So, my handy husband rounded up the big water tank to fill with some of our irrigation water and take it to the heifers...
Cy is always ready to help and loves being involved. Multi-tasking is becoming a way of life for Ben (notice, he's on the phone)...
A hard-worker/goof-ball...
Off we headed to the Foster Place. I had the glamorous (and important) job of taking down the electric fence so Ben could just pull on through with the loaded water trailer...here they come (see the dot near the center of the picture? That's them).
A few drops of water were leaking from the trailer. The cows could smell it immediately. They came from far and wide to lick the trailer.
My husband found the place where the snow runs off into the pond and opened the valves...
The water is making its way to the pond...
And arriving at the pond...cows are still up at the trailer...hope they've found this by now!
Ahhh, 12,000 gallons later and it still doesn't look like much! It should buy us enough time to get our hay baled and our pasture fence fixed so we can move the heifers (and bulls)to greener pastures and a more consistent water supply next week!
