Overrun with beasties
I need to check in here more often! So much has happened the last few months are such a blur lol. Lets see...
Cancelled the order for the meishan pigs til later, we're still adding them just not for a while.
Sold the berkshires but will be adding more again down the road. Love the breed just gotta make room.
The new Kunes are doing great and so are the new Gloucesters. Lots more piglet litters.
Goats are all finally pregnant, bought a Saanen and a toggenburg finally and sold some of our nigerian dwarves.
Doing a ton more swine education videos and farm tours, keep forgetting to charge people for the farm tours happened again today. Guess its a good way to find out how honest folks are. Had one family who forgot to pay and they venmo'd me later at least. This last family today I think were simply look loos but you never know right.
I guess were building a reputation locally Ive heard from three people this week that they've heard good things about us etc that's why they are buying their livestock only from us so that's cool and makes me warm and fuzzy. We donated more animals to some families who lost livestock to the fires out here, some folks are only just now rebuilding their pens and coops. So a family is coming tomorrow to pick up a small herd of American Guinea Hogs and a few kunes. we're giving him two pregnant sows too so their family can make up for lost time from their farm and get back up and running a bit faster.
We donated 5 pigs to the church and found a butcher to process for them. We haven't even had any time to do our monthly rooster runs lately so people are tagging us left and right to pick up roosters and we haven't had time yet hopefully well get some soup going for the church again in December. For us were not religious personally, we just know first hand what its like to not have food on the table so we give as much as we have when we can.
Got asked to develop a mini breed for the university ag dept, so that's cool haven't decided if we can do it yet or not. Neighbors 25 acres away are complaining about flies that it must be ONLY from our farm- what EVER ugh cidiots! Thinking about finally moving to a cooler climate- looking at properties again. Its not feasible for us to really move where we wanna go- alaska, but we will find somewhere that has all four seasons and doesn't broil eggs under the broody hens in the spring time im so tired of 100 degree winters and 130 degree summers i just can't do it another year.
got more peacocks, and more to come were now up to six colors i love my babies so much
Sold the toulouse geese Im going to focus on my sebastepol breed for the foreseeable future.
thanksgiving was nice we did a small pig, a duck and a turkey. Had a campfire and got drunk, my aunt did all the dishes since I did all the cooking so THAT was awesome!
Oh some sad news our Bloodhound Ruby lost her litter at 43 days in. Our cat brings little gifts to the door every day and Jimmy saw Ruby eating them and didn't say anything to me until later oh gee maybe that's why she miscarried I was soo mad he didn't say something before that but at least Ruby is okay and healthy to breed again next year.
Uncle Dennis is doing well following his doctors advice and taking his meds we never thought he'd comply but here we are its been very nice since hes been easier to deal with. Lets see how long that lasts lol.
Everything is going going going along farms good animals are good were good so were happy and grateful.
