Spring Cleaning

Throughout the winter months, bedding builds up around the concrete pad. Removal requires a morning of team work.
After Jim scrapes and removes the bulk of it with the tractor, I go to work with a rake and a shovel. 
If all of this were left behind, the grass would not grow and the flies would be out of control. After everything was raked and removed, I thoroughly hosed down the concrete and side of the barn. Ahhhh clean!
Old bedding and manure removal is just part of farm life. Here Jim is moving a temporary pile that was created behind the barn when there was snow. It's easier to empty the wheelbarrow next to the barn when the weather is nasty, and then have the tractor guy move it when the weather is nicer :)
