Winter is here for sure. The grass grows no more and the cows are not satisfied with the humble grain pellets I offer. It’s time to bring out the big guns and start using the chaff cutter again. Time for the muscles in the upper arms to get a workout again. I sure wish that old chaff cutter had a silly motor on it. How much easier it would be. There are seasons in farming that are much more manual than others and winter is one of those. Apart from the chaff cutting there is always wood to be chopped - a job that uses a lot of energy. These chores are manual, make no mistake about that. Farming is manual labour but its a labour of love. The cows will appreciate the extra chaff and corn to warm them up and everybody in the house will appreciate the roaring fire that will be going from the chopped wood and they will be warmed too.
