Chilly few mornings

Monday -4 degC, Tuesday -9 degC, Wednesday -9 degC  : but at least we have sunshine and it goes up to about 12 during the middle of the day, so that's positively tropical.  In the meantime it's hoggets on, hoggets off, and feeding calves, 18 month heifers, bulls, ewes and horses.

The Fiat and bale-feeder.  You can fit (well the Boss can) 3 of our small round bales on the feeder at once, by having one on the forks at the back.  I can't do it, as I can't load 3 bales onto the feeder in the first place - you see it involves backing, and backing with no vision!  That I cannot do.  I do manage to load 2, but takes me ages.  Anyway this feeds out the bales once you have cut the strings holding them together.  Not the prettiest piece of machinery, but works when it snows, which is a must around here.
