Its lovely today @Bruce

Tub and Trish were sharing some grass I got for them.

I can't get past the concept of wooly pigs! They are very attractive.

I had seen pictures a few years back. Never thought I would be owning them. My dad co-owns our farm with a friend. She fell in love with them, so here we are!

I cant get over how frisky the sheep were tonight! They took out on full on sprints and hopped across the field. Even Rosie joined in, who apparently is feeling better. It was so cute, I didnt have my phone on me to take a picture though.

I loved our sheep when they would do that. They would bounce like pronghorn. It was really cute.

What is this? Has it really been 10 days since I have posted any pictures? Nope its actually been more! So basically I have been lurking. Haven't gotten any pictures that I felt needed to be shared. Also until yesterday I hadn't been to the barn in 5 days. When I finally got to see my babes it was already too dark to take pictures. However I have some sad news, Roaster our fat broiler passed away along with 3 reds. Im really annoyed, we think they got trampled. They were all in the same general area with, from what my dad said, necks broken.

In other news my girls are getting fat with their babies. Poor Rose is so miserable. She is already huge, and her belly is getting bigger by the day! No bag development yet, on either of them. Rosie was drying up when I noticed that is stopped shrinking. Her bag is roughly the size of my palm. clover still has me playing the guessing game. In comparing pics from the summer, I see definite growth. Im excited even if Clove doesn't have a babe, Rose is definitly expecting!
Hm..what else do I have to add? Oh right, Rosies hoof is healed shut and she is no longer limping I checked on it last night. The part of the hoof that was falling off healed right back. Like a puzzle piece I suppose.

So my piggy Trish(for future reference this is one of my many names for Patricia, I also call her: Trisha, Pigtricia, and piggy girl) actually bit me the other day. I have a nice bruise on my arm. I am more wary of her but I honestly dont think she meant it. I had a sweatshirt on and I think she didnt realize there was my arm under it. She is very good at recognizing my hand isn't food. She sniffs it and then you can see her dissapointment that she cannot eat it. Im very excited, because last night during her belly rub session she started to lay down. This is so huge to me as it means she trusts me! I can't wait until we expand the pig pen and section it off so I can be with Trish while the boys do their thing.

Alpacas are good, trimmed the floof out of Geno's face. It made him look cute but it altered his sight. He looks a bit silly as I used random scissors, but he is much more alert now.

Sorry Geno no more being fabulous



Pictures as always!

I forgot to mention we also got our hay put away as well as outdoor shelter improved

One of my piglets bit me the other night. I had to feed them after dark and she was going for food but my leg was in the way. Better not happen again little piggie or I'll rename you Baconator! Lol

Sorry about Roaster and the chickens sounds like everything else is going pretty well - fingers crossed for the expecting sheep!

Another chicken died tonight.. This is a major red flag. Her comb was purple, but other than that nothing was off.. Im really starting to get concerned.
