The snow has covered our pasture and for the first time all year, the animals can’t graze. They looked both fat and happy and we saw the trails the sheep and donkeys had made to the outer pasture where they can get to some shrubs and small trees. Farm animals graze much of the day, whether they are hungry or not, many farmers will not offer hay as long as the ground is visible. Red was, of course, happy to be back on the job.
