Today I thought I'd write about one the routine parts of our life here on the farm - feeding time! It's something we all get involved in (even Ned) and enjoy very much. The sheep, goat, chooks and cows all seem to know when feed time is getting close as they hover close to their food troughs and look expectantly whenever we are outside!
Ava is always part of this routine and she really enjoys herself, the animals seem to know her and appear to be a little more careful when she is around. Her favourite part of feeding time is giving Safari, our goat, her individual mini bucket of grain and collecting the chooks eggs. She is also quite partial to grabbing a raspberry or strawberry if there's fruit available along the way.
It's a time to walk and check things on the property as well as the health of our animals. It's also a great way to unwind and we really look forward to it each day.
Here's a few pictures from feeding time at the farm today!
