It sure looks like they are doing a number on that field, in a relatively short period of time. It seems they all get along too. I know ya are glad to see the fields turning green too.

Yes on Friday night we moved the fence to section off a new piece of pasture, when that pasture runs out we will be flipping to the other side of their old old pasture and that should give us 3 large pastures and 1 small pasture to rotate thru. We should be having warmer overnights starting this week like in the 60s so the grass should really take off. I do like the green because i like seeing them out on it....as far as feed goes we still have 2,000 square bales lol.

Oh, your little piggie is soooo cute!
Thank you, thats our julianna boar....he is a pet that likes being viewed from afar :lol:

Everyone does get along well for the most part. I was hoping they would eat the thatch down too but no luck lol.

Also on the bright side everyone is starting to get some really good condition on them so i'm super happy about that. I "sheared" Kora on Wednesday...she was very well behaved and looks adorable now but i dont have a pic...yet lol. I left a poodle puffball on the end of her tail, all of her ear fluff and then her beard got trimmed down.

We got both rams sheared last night.....i only got pictures of one though lol. We planned to shear more today but it has rained all morning so we will have to see how dry the sheep are when we get home.

DH should have smiled...but he wasnt paying attention to what he was doing....he was looking down playing with his phone until the sheep was like no no i think i'm done now. Only 4 more sheep to shear because the new girls won't need to be done until next spring.

DH looks like.."Don't you kick me or run off yet".

What kind of grass is that in the pasture you just fenced off?
Looks dried out compared to the bright green in a low spot further down the fence.
Did it grow that tall during the winter and is left over or something that came in this spring?

That look he has, is as if he expects the ram to act out and is ready for "Action", sitting so close to a ram. They look really nice....:)
