I haven't ever seen them near the pond, I am surprised. They walk around the far side and sometimes through the tall grass/weeds on the edge of it through the summer looking for things to eat but never (to my knowledge) go down from the barn side where I've uncovered the ledge that forms that side of the pond. Easy walking right to the water. THOUGH when it is hot, the water is really warm and has lots of algae unless we are getting a lot of rain.

No need to put the hay outside, if they want it, they know where to find it ;) They were in some this afternoon, I gave them some sweet feed (yes I AM bribing them) and they were eating hay afterward. They were out in their pasture at "closing time" this afternoon. I put the chickens' scratch on the coop floor (to encourage them to go in the coop rather than stay out in the alley. That way I can lock them in). I hand fed the boys outside then went in and waited for the chickens to all go in the coop. The boys came in and ate some hay. I never know what they are thinking.
 
Winter wheat is fine, depending on the purpose ya are using it for. Personally, I don't prefer to plant something that attains a great deal of height to it and requires cutting it down....with any grain plant once it heads and is finished it doesn't just simply fall over and decompose as grasses do, they have to be cut....I only have a riding lawn tractor....so that gets to be a difficult task when the plant is 3-8' tall....depending on the grain and the variety of that grain. What I sow is what I prefer to deal with and the goats prefer to eat. My goats don't eat much hay at all and it is mainly because I keep something growing for them to eat, basically year round. My sole purpose in sowing anything was to feed the goats and after doing the research and some experimentation, I have settled on what I do now. However, I will say that my neighbor, who is a deer hunter, has tried a whole bunch of different stuff to draw deer to his place, but he sees more deer consistently on our property grazing....he is still planting a myriad of things, but what I grow...:)
 
I never had winter wheat grow that tall. Some critter usually eats it first. But it may be different here. I also have a bag of a mix of different seeds. So we will see.

How do you take that many? Tell them to reboot their PC and call back (knowing the line will be busy)?

To be honest, I am not sure I am managing ;) I am a little snippy, grumpy and burnt out. Just seem to be having a run of issues following the last release.

Oh yeah, I forgot, that is just tickets, does not include phone calls for which I am also the first port of call and lately, anyone calling has been told to log a ticket :p
