Seed, seeding, and seedlings

Let me guess - K6 is doing warm-up exercises, or some kind of silvan ballet? No, he is...

...helping with a family farm chore, in this case, over seeding our pastures. As you can see in the bed of the truck, we had a lot of seed to spread - orchard grass, timothy grass, oats, white clover, and sweet yellow clover. I had hoped to spread it on the snow last week, but the snowfall stopped about 15 miles west of us. Now we had to get it spread on the lower six paddocks, this strip between paddocks and the stream, our hillside pasture, and my brother-in-law's pastures before the rain forecasted this weekend. Where are the other boys? K7 helped Friday afternoon and Saturday, then headed to the Stake Super Saturday youth activity in Rolla. And K8?

He was with us, and in charge of spreading the expensive clover seed.
