Thanks! She's a mini alpine. Love her!

It's a really nice feeling when you check the lawn and garden section in Craigslist and there's an ad that says "prepare for serious feed shortage"... Thanks for the happy post random depressing person.

It was supposed to rain all weekend. It didn't. We need a bit more hay before I'll feel content. We had a hard time finding hay this past spring without a drought so I don't want to have to do that again.

Big pigs will be gone soon Yay! Once they go, and the meat birds go, our feed bill will be a little more manageable!

Well that's weird.... It just started raining. Hallelujah I hope it's a downpour!

Hope it did, too!!...and hope ya can get ya some extra Hay!!..I am really thankful we are not faced with those 'Challenges'....I am looking for some rain though...need to plant my rye grass and winter peas for Forage....I can always cut it, box it, and overnite ya some....LOL!!

Haha sounds good! We should be able to store some hay soon here..

We have 2 owls that are hanging around eating rats. I'm just going to lock my birds up tight at night and thank the owls for their contribution to the cause! My daughter got to see one tonight, it was right near the house and it was gorgeous! It was pretty cool.

The big pig we sold is still here... I'm getting a little annoyed. As soon as she's gone (my husband is supposedly going to make a phone call soon), we should be able to butcher the other one within a few days and our feed bill will be drastically reduced. Also 2 of our turkeys are going this week, when my husband butchers some chickens for a friend.

It's winding down here... I love the fall! This month is also my daughter and husband's birthdays.

We had sausage this morning from a neighbor's wild hog that they trapped. It was good!

 

[NH homesteader]

I've never had wild hog but I've heard it's good! I have a dog that was bred for hog hunting but she's certainly more wimpy than her ancestors. We don't really have many here anyway.

Trying to convince my husband to butcher Friday. Wish me luck!
