I've been looking for a hog feeder like this for over a year. They are EXPENSIVE brand new so I knew used was the only way I was getting one. We found a couple of them online, but each time, the seller had them sold before we saw them. This time, we got it though! … Continue reading Look what we found!

So worth the thorns!
I picked wild black raspberries the other day. I wound up with about a fourth of a ziplock baggie full of them (which was about two cups total). There were a lot of thorns on those bushes, but OMG! They were so worth the berry stained hands and the scratches, too!

Bessie – the world’s biggest dog
Bessie is the world's biggest dog. I sometimes think that she really thinks she is a dog. She follows us where ever we go inside the pasture. She even follows us if we're just outside the fence (as far as she can). Last week, Ted was doing a little work in the pasture. She followed … Continue reading Bessie – the world’s biggest dog

Visiting buddy
Just about every morning, we get a visit from our little buddy who lives down the driveway, across the road, and up the next big hill. He makes the short trek over just so he can pee on my farm truck tires, sniff noses (and butts) with DG and Puppers, and have a drink from … Continue reading Visiting buddy

Best fertilizer around
We expanded the pig pasture to include the hens' pasture last year in September when we brought the pigs home. It was somewhat grown up and covered in patches of daisy-like wildflowers, and there was some grass, but there were bare patches, too. By February, the pigs had cleared the entire thing; it looked like … Continue reading Best fertilizer around
