The Easter holiday weekend has been and gone now. So many people have I am sure enjoyed their break, heading off to the coast or camping with the family or enjoying other holiday pursuits. While it is definitely great to take time out occasionally, holidays on the farm generally mean grabbing the opportunity for a few days of solid work. There are always things that need to be done and even visitors are roped into help. We are building some new chicken pens at the moment to keep our breeding groups and grower flocks better separated. The job for the Easter weekend was to dig holes and put in posts for the fences. Hiring a post hole digger helped a lot, though much of the ground is hard clay and rock so even it had a bit of a problem in some spots. Nice to kick back after a hard days work though with good company and a lovely meal of home grown roast lamb.
