Empty buildings

The farm buildings are almost empty (apart from a bit of muck etc to clean out). Today we turned out 45 animals - mostly bulling and in-calf heifers. Tomorrow another 8 will follow them. So, if I have got this right, the only stock left inside will be two breeding bulls, four heifer calves born January/February this year and two young heifer calves.
So, there will be more of checking stock outside, but a loss less feeding and mucking out. Which means it may be possible for us to have a few days away before the next big thing - silaging.
