This weekend we finished the egg-mobile, the portable chicken coop, and the chickens have been moved to the pasture in their new mobile home. We checked on them last night and about 10 of the chickens were perched on the running gear under the coop after the sun went down. We put them inside and found out this morning that there were 2 that must have perched somewhere else and we didn't see them in the dark.
We also finished the fence work and moved all of the cows onto pasture. The cows will be moved to the outside rotational grazing area until June 15th. This allows the cool season grasses to be eaten short by the cows until the prairie grasses are ready to grow. Prairie grasses are warm season grasses, so the cows are used as a management tool to maximize our native prairie grasses for wildlife cover over the winter.
