How exciting! Things are happening at our Hare Krsna Valley in Lorne!
With the recent acquisition of 2 cows Manigriva Prabhu is now very busy refurbishing the dairy shed to accommodate the new residents of our farm.
I have attached pictures of them in the slideshow below; Hamsi is the white cow and Aruni is the red one.
Manigriva Prabhu tells us what he has started to work on:
- clean up the dairy
- put up the corral panels as some temporary structure so I can start handling the cows a bit more
- affix halters (an arrangement of ropes put over the head of an animal, used to lead it) and start the lead-training for our cows
- cut a bigger doorway. I will put in a three-bricks high lintel (a supporting beam that supports the weight of the wall above the door) to give it more strength.
- I may also need to give the doorway a second skin of bricks as there are some major cracks along that wall. Hopefully that will firm it up.
If you are a farmer like Manigriva Prabhu you might be familiar with these tasks; otherwise here are some photos to give us some idea of what is being accomplished.
