Daveli Farms, shots around the farm.

A while back we had a customer stop by, and after making a purchase, he stood in the driveway staring at the barn. When asked if something caught his eye, he said he heard a rooster crow, but he had never heard one crow in real life besides TV. So it occurs to me from time to time that my farm life can be drastically different than many other ways of life. So I decided to take a retired phone and stick it in a phone holder with a clip I can hang on the fenceline etc to take rando 15-20 minute video clips of my critters interacting on their own. Different shots, different angles, different critters. No human voice or narration (if I can help it). So I set up a u-tube channel and posted my first video. I think it operational...My hope is to post one or 2 per week, time permitting.
In this video, I am releasing my ram to the ewes for the first time. This will give me lambs about the 3rd week of May. While they knew each other through the fence, this is their first interaction. Enjoy!

This made me remember turning  some just weined Holstein calves out of the tight calf house. They would run staggering like a man breaking out of prison, maybe crash into the woven wire fence. One poor calf actually  hit a t-post head first and must have broke it's  neck, it was dead in a flash.
All part of farm life.

I distinctly remember that happening to a goat I released from the back of the trailer. 5 steps from the trailer he went headlong and full speed into the mesh fence and fell to the ground in a heap. Turned to look at me like"Why'd you put that fence there?"

LoL Mean guy put that fence in the way.

For today's installment, the phone shut down at about the 10 min mark because it got too cold. This while I was filling up the water trough and setting the tank heaters for tonight, when it will really cool down.
