Hay Feeding Begins In Earnest

Looks like the sheep pasture is about eaten up so I fed two brome/alfalfa round bales out in the sheep pasture today. The countdown of bales begins, we plan on one bale a day through May. I'm thinking of ways to make sure the smaller animals get enough hay without overfeeding the larger ones. I could divide the herd, but that complicates feeding and watering and disrupts the social structure. If can make a creep feeder I would rather do that. Last year I used some of the portable corral panels, but it was difficult to set the gap between them. Something that would attach to a round bale feeder would be appealing

Before that I took the blade to neaten up the compost piles so they won't freeze before we're ready to spread them. We will spread compost after the ground has frozen. There are compost piles east and west of the barn.
