Food Storage

Food storage for the food storage (goats, sheep, llamas, and cow). This will last us until the grass is growing in the pasture again.

I found out that our local farm store carries Timothy pellets! I thought they only carried alfalfa pellets. I'm so excited for the grass pellets because that is better for the sheep, llamas, and male goats than the grass alfalfa mix in the bales. We'll still feed them the mix, but add the pellets in to reduce the amount of protein they get.

We've got some water stored, too, but probably only 3 days worth. But we'll work on that next week. The hard part is figuring out how to keep it liquid during the winter. If we run into problems, ice won't be as helpful as liquid water.
