Clean 'er up boys!

The steers made a mess but lucky for us, Noah and Levi were eager to clean up the manure they left behind. 
 Boots, work gloves, shovels, and my wheelbarrow....I'm not sure that wheelbarrow will ever be the same again.
 They made several trips from inside the barn, to the pit...
 plus there was plenty to scoop outside the barn by the pit...
 but eventually the magnitude of their job sunk in and their enthusiasm dissipated.
 It was time to head home to clean off their shovels, throw in the towel, call it a day.
 Meanwhile, Ben was just outside the barn digging up a culvert that the steers had already halfway unearthed. Thank goodness for that digger attachment, that would have been a lot to dig by hand!
 The steers left these coils of hair along the panels in the barn - kinda cool, kinda gross.
Ben used the skid steer to clear out the rest of the manure, with Levi riding on his lap. Levi thought that was way more fun than shoveling all of it by hand. :-)
