Started raining about 4AM this morning and was heavy enough to hear in the downspouts by 5 o’clock. That’s the good news.
Now for the bad news. I knew B&C would be upset; they hate getting wet. Only thing they hate worse than being wet is having muddy hooves.
I went out around 11:30 to check on them. Bonnie was hunkered down in the bottom condo as I expected. Clyde, however, was out munching on orchard grass. I’m guessing that bale will be effectively gone by tomorrow afternoon. They get alfalfa next. Maybe having the sweeter fodder will take some of the sting away from being cooped up in the enclosure. Maybe. Hard to tell. Best I can do, though. I can’t magically dry out their grazing land.
