Moving Hay

    A couple of weeks ago my Dad got a new feeder for our sheep. We were helping him put hay in the feeder, but the bale of hay fell into the feeder the wrong way, so..... it was not exactly fitting well. So dad told me and my sister to start jumping on it so it would go in.  We finaly got it in and went inside.

   Then last night Dad told us that the hay was all pushed to the middle of the feeder and the sheep can not reach it.

So since He had to work today we had to go out and push the hay around to the sides of the feeder. My sister had tried in the morning and could not get it to move. so we went out this afternoon and tryed to move it. I went over to the feeder and was poking the hay with a broom stick, but that was not working very well so I put down the broom stick and started using my hands. it was fun talking to the sheep, but my hands were frozen ( they were very red.) So i did not realy feel how cold I was even though it was snowing out. but  I finaly got the hay moved around. the sheep looked very happy as the ate there hay.(:
