Ready for Winter

With a cold front and snow predicted, we had a mad rush of winter prep.  All the water tanks had heaters installed, all the hoses emptied and stored, and hay arranged.  The lucky alpacas got to move down to the tree field with Buck, and the yaks will stay in a top pen for a bit longer before being put back on their summer pasture.  We loaded up 5 yaks for a buyer out of Durango, so now we only have 9 to feed for the winter.  We were more streamlined and prepared in our tasks this year, I guess we are finally getting in a groove!  We also moved two of the cows and one steer to a grassy pasture to board for a few months.  It is a busy time, but with winter looming it will soon limit our outdoor maintenance.    Ski season cometh!
