So we got a call this morning from a good high school buddy of mine that said his squeeze
airlines had frozen up so there must have been some water in his airlines
and so we we went and grabbed the squeeze and ran out here and we're getting a hay truck loaded for
so that yeah so that he can get down the road and give him some time to figure out what's wrong
with his squeeze so always a subject to change each day. All right see ya. We produce quite a
bit of straw and the main reason we produce the straw is because the pigs need bedding pretty
much all through the winter not so much during the summer even though we do put some out in the
fairway huts during the summer but during the winter you know it gets wet and rainy and
and the animals they need straw to help keep them warm and help give them that insulation buffer
against the ground. All of our pigs are all outside 365 days a year so when the bad weather
hits they definitely enjoy getting a little bit of straw bedding in there so we've got we've got
quite a bit of uh quite a bit of straw that we put up this year and it's uh it's nice to be able
to have it on hand to throw under pigs and boars. I'm gonna go grab the skid steer
tagging posts and then clips looks like is what you need so yeah.
