Today the first of the snow arrived. 

Fortunately all the Shintaro mud ponds have been harvested and the good weather allowed us to prepare many of the mud ponds for next season before the snow arrived.

We breeders refer to this period jokingly as 100 days of sleep as there is very little work we can do during this period.

Once we have completed packing and shipping the koi purchased during October and November our time is mainly spent feeding and observing tosai stocks and soon we will be netting these and grading them.
