The weather took a turn for the better, with calmer winds and temps in the low thirties for the past few days. Not warm enough or long enough to melt the glare ice on the yard, but nice enough to tempt the sow herd out and get them started on the silage bales we set out for them. We like to see the sows having forage in their diets for their good health, but it has been a problem when the pastures aren't available. This year we set out plastic wrapped grass/alfalfa wet bales and they are really tearing into it. They like the silage smell I think. We know it's good for them. Improves their temperament too, and makes them easier to work with. That's good for us as well.
