More rain/snow...

Another weather front here on the prairies..suppose to get another dump of snow...right now it's that dreary overcasted day with fine mist of rain.
The snow is suppose to arrive tonight. The day spent re-bedding the barn and topping up all the water and feed bunks for the sheep. Packed in more
square bales of straw so a person would have on hand more dry ones. Will put the moms and babes back in the barn after chore time.
New set of twins this afternoon with 4 ewes left to lamb. Looks like a pen of black and white holstein's when the groups are all together.
Will be hard to part with them but think I have part of the flock sold to a guy that rides community pasture that trains dogs on the side.
Decided if feed is going to be limited I'll need to reduce my numbers down to a few head, with hay over 100 / bale it's too expensive to keep extra's.
