Miss Maggee, giving me her over the shoulder “model” look. This little girl has ATTITUDE. She is very independent. Her mom was out in the pasture, while Maggee came to see what else might be going on. She makes me chuckle.
She is six weeks old. She halters, ties and loads in a trailer very well. She is learning to lead, but as expected, she wants to control the whole training session. I am persistent. I am kind and I am calm. She yields after a little resistance. She is going to be a gem, a very valuable asset to our breeding program.
The mud is drying fast. We were able to spread manure yesterday. The job of applying compost will take awhile. We are trying to get the fields we need to plow, done first. We made good progress yesterday and will continue for a while today…we just have to push hard and keep a good attitude!

Steady as she goes. Hoping to plow this week.
