77Herford Farm Zoo Journal Moving

Oh yeah, forgot to mention "Yes, I am forgetful. The wife loves it too ", I had to seperate Old Major my Hereford Boar from the piglets as Dorothy proved extremely protective, lol. I had been keeping an eye on them and Old Major got within feet of one of the piglets and Dorothy plowed into him like a crazed wild hog. I ran down to the pen and with Old Major running his fat legs towards the shelter and screaming with Dorothy and the piglets in hot pursuit I managed to open the back pen door and let Major out. My lord never seen a Hog lose his dignity so fast, .

Of course he made up some dignity by having me try and herd him into a horse stall.... I FINALLY got him into the Cow barn and left him in there for now.
Dorothy and her sister Blanche do get along, which is good. I'll be happy when those people come and get the Tamworths tomorrow.

Beautiful day the people came and picked up the Tammy's so I put my pygmies in the pen and they are very happy. Haven't decided what to do with Old Major yet. Got to find something for the pygmies to climb on as they look somewhat bored.
Blanche is pregnant I believe as she didn't comeback into heat so we should have some winter babies.

Who's Blanche? Or should I say what is Blanche? Pig or Cow? Sorry if you already stated who Blanche is. Winter babies, spring babies, fall babies, summer babies, it's always good to have babies around.

Definitely get your wife's pygmies something to climb on. They will have a ball on anything you put together. Also glad to hear they are happy in their new pen.

Omg a response, lol. Starting to wonder if I was talking to myself,...which wouldn't be unheard of as a farmer, lol.
I may of named my animals on BackYardChickens a sister site of BYH and just got the two confused so I'll name the animals again.

Blanche is one of my Hereford pig sows who should have December piglets. Dorothy is Blanche's sister and has ten piglets around two weeks old. Old Major is the Hereford Boar and currently in exile, lol. Raven is my female German Shepherd and her son Chief. Jack and Jill are our two Rat terriers who aren't quite one yet. Sugar is my black paint broodmare with an almost white S on her forehead front left sock and a white dot on her belly. Cassie is my mix/Gypsy Vanner and is black and white. Ashes is on fairly new mustang mare and a dark grulla.
Jim/Tank is my Hereford Bull and raised him up from a calf after his mother died after birthing him. He's a 2000 pound dog, lol.

2000# dog...well I guess that's better than a calf who thinks he's a goat...which is what I've got.

I think we need pictures of all these animals! Please!

You're gonna get him started on women and pictures again...

That's ok, he can just consider me a young troublemaker then! I like seeing pictures of peoples animals. I don't have many myself and lots of people have animals I won't ever have, or that I have always wanted (like horses) but won't ever be able to have. He can always let his wife take pictures for him! Then everyone can enjoy them!

You'll have to find them they are few and far between, . I can be annoying too.

Found a quick fix to the bored pygmies I used our old picnic table. We'll see if anyone is on it tomorrow, when I let them out.

I bet the new goats will enjoy their new toy! As for pictures I will just satisfy myself with everyone else's pictures I'm just having fun with you, if you wish to not share pictures it's ok, no pressure.

PS: I think I love technology, I can learn, and have fun at the same time! No worries about embarrassing myself like if I was talking to someone in person. I don't have to be the serious mommy all the time! :bun This is a situation where I learn from all these people but more than likely will never meet them in person snce most are miles and miles away. I tend to stay in my own little area, I don't travel out of state much (except to the beach) and we certainly won't be making roadtrips for livestock anytime soon, if ever. So BYH are just a lot of online friends that I can share with and not be judged as harshly as some people I know in person, including family.
