Morning
I had a fabulous time scraping cow dung with my 'Christmas Present'. So much easier on the back to clear them out with the scraper than by fork or shovel... now the cattle are in the barn for the winter they produce around a barrowful of dung each day - beginning to produce rather a nice compost heap
There is satisfaction in clearing out the cattle - quite aside from making a nice area for the cattle to be in. In the summer, either I cut and bale grass or get others to do it for me, then during the winter this is fed to the cattle. The cattle munch away on all this grass and produce lovely fibrous nitrogen rich manure which ends up on the veg patch in two years time. This of course then produces lots of lovely veggies to be eaten either by us or the animals.
Recycling at work
Better to do what you enjoy Alex; you had a great time at Snowdon - after your pre event excitments - find another hilly marathon course to get your teeth into.. have you had a go at the Cornish Marathon yet? Fabulous event; low key, enter on the day, loads of challenging hills - non too big, no hassle and good organisation. - Oh, and you get a pastie at the end - now that has to be motivation for lost mojo and plenty of gusto
