A Jesusfreaks tales of farm life with soon to be Six kids

[GardnerHomestead]

Okay before i forget i took this last night. This is my temporary solution to a two stall barn. I put the calf with the doelings as they get along and they keep butting the buckling he gets his own space. Then mama by herself. So far its working well. I really want a larger barn in the front pasture. That's almost finished need one more roll of fencing and they will be let up there.

What does your barn look like? maybe you have posted a picture and i missed it. We have a three sided huge "garage" that we have retrofitted into a barn, works well, keeps the animals dry and warm. But i love barns and i wish we had an actual one.

It's a small small barn i like calling it a barn but more like shed. Is was made from used tin and 4×4 and 2×4. The size is on 8x8 i believe.

That is cute! I love how everything is so flat. Flat land is hard to come by here.

Thinking about processing two roosters today if. I can. The brats are tearing up my hens both the chickens and ducks. Neither will make a large carcass but they make nice soup.

I have one hen who really needs a saddle! Chris thinks I’m nuts. Don’t hav3 a sewing machine anymore. I might look on eBay...

I prefer less rooster lol less for me to wash lol.
More cuteness can't get enough

Well got half the garden tilled i need a tiller. This pick axe vs clay isn't fun. The pigs have gotten huge. Think mid. Dog height they were under chicken hieght about three months ago.

Are those the little pigs that appeared at your place with the bigger sow? They have really grown. At least the one in the back in the 2nd picture looks like she is "dropping" and making an udder. Are they all female? Did you have another boar there? They have turned out to be pretty nice looking hogs.

 

[farmerjan]

Did the sow come back? She got out didn't she? And I just looked again, and it is the one in the back in the first picture, in the middle in the 2nd picture.

 

[Jesusfreak101]

No she still gone and yes these are them and unless a boar got in no they just fat lol all three sows no dangly bits all three have vulva and have come and gone at least one heat i believe.
