. I’m horrible at the typing, and typically don’t reread my posts...sorry...oops!
. We’ve got so much misc work piled up...BUT, hay machines, and plows are rust proofed and painted and lined up an OCD row in the field,,,they look good, and when other farmers come, some actually drool..kind of funny. 
Were really happy that these little guys are sooo loved. And our gamble is working so far. The ones due in June..they were tiny to begin..the biggest weighed only 30 lbs...they now have nice round bellies...so cute. They look like big beer drinkers!
The new pig we got is fitting in well with the boars, and we’re pretty sure she has to be getting pregnant with all the...’action’ she’s been seeing.... Poor thing.
My understanding is that the sex links lay GREAT for a couple of years then wear out. It will be interesting to see if your now 2 Y/O Comets are still laying well next year. Could be what I've heard is less than accurate, I have no personal knowledge but it is the reason I've never done sexlinks even though they are guaranteed female rather than "90% sexing accuracy"
, but those girls have bald necks, etc. they did it to our old roo too. I have no clue why they don’t do it to the newer hens? Today we only got FOUR eggs out of the new 20! Chris was mad! I said jus5 wait the normal 11 days for the stress to wear off, then we’ll see....?? Worst case....we sell them...for $15..The going rate...make a few bucks, and call it a day. Best case...we figure out a bunch of new good layers, with some food coloring....then sell just a few..? .. But, I thought I closed her door, but guess I didn’t. Our tenant called to say..pig is out...not unusual....but when it’s Portly, it’s no big deal...she just needs walked back out, you don’t need to use feed, or anything...she complains, but it just makes it better...she’s a riot. Best part is..when this pig is wound up..she will actually back up..and take a run at me...and try to jump up on me to play..she’s a hoot. We have a great time. She’s kinda old, has arthritis, wrinkles....do I mean me? Or my piggie?
.....if ya look closely in the middle of the pic...our old doe is in the duck pen eating Layena pellets....she was the only one that could fit thru the duck hole....
....I would tell Joyce that the big black duck showed up again....

When you look up "goats" with Google doesn't it come back with "trouble maker animals" as the first descriptive text?
. I also have to rotate them..we only have one pasture that is fenced and large enough for enough of them. But sometimes it’s muddy. So I put them in my buck’s pen...my ‘hussy’ Busty...I’m sure is going to get pregnant one of these days. We don’t have double fencing yet...not with everything else going on...no time to even sleep! She struts for him....she has a huge crush. I try to keep him back from her, when I do the goat shuffle...does farming ever get dull? Doubt it! Oh, the chickens are pretty dull and easy....by far, they are easiest livestock we have had so far.
....it is their "daily challenge" to figure out new "ways" to keep ya "busy"....while they watch!!....
