It Snowed..at Lost River Permaculture

It snowed yesterday, in the middle of April. That is Saskatchewan for you folks. We can go from +17°c and melting to -10°c with an inch of snow. All in the course of 48 hours.

Lucky for us snow does not deter our mother cows from giving birth! We arrived this morning to yet another newborn trailing after its mother. We moved them out of the crowded mothers pen and into the newborns pen. In the newborns pen April/Alfred was doing very well, starting to run, jump and probably drive its mother crazy. I'm sure we will have a few more new additions to the heard within the next few days! As for the one born today we shall call him/her Belle/Bucko. We will also figure out the sexes of the newborns this week so we can finalize on the names :)
