Pigs are like big rocks…
...they don't move easily. Ted built that ramp, backed the tractor and trailer down to the chicken gate, and set up a corridor with electric wire to get the pigs to move to the trailer. I saved the scraps for two days in hopes that they'd follow that scrap bucket right to the trailer. My … Continue reading Pigs are like big rocks…

Hard worker
This man works harder than anybody else I know. He works his job, and then he comes home and spends his free time doing all the things that need done on the farm. Over Memorial Day weekend, he finished a bunch of projects. He spent Saturday fixing the bush hog and then mowing up here, … Continue reading Hard worker

Big decision made
We stopped today to settle up with Ronnie for the winter hay and the side of beef we purchased from him, and out of the blue, he asked what we're going to do with Beef. We've been discussing what to do for over a month, and we reached the decision that we were either selling … Continue reading Big decision made

Oops!
The new driver in the house needs to practice backing up out of the driveway a little more. LOL Nobody was hurt, including chickens and turkeys. The door bracing (on the side of the little door where the hinges are) got knocked askew. With four brackets and thirty minutes, this will be good as new.

He's learned to do all sorts of things from there, and he's determined that he can fix these bugs. If he can get all three running and running well, … Continue reading Let’s try it again

I’m horrible at my Year of Martha
It's after mid-May. Let me repeat, it is After.Mid.May. I will never be Martha Stewart or even a close facsimile. I got all motivated when I got her magazine, and I made my calendar on a little notebook pad. Here's what I have on it: Do you know how many of the items from May … Continue reading I’m horrible at my Year of Martha

They really do love the mud…
I know I said this earlier in the week, but the pigs really do love the mud so much! I always wondered if it was just a stereotype. Now I know! It's not! This is their favorite past-time next to rolling an old log round and round in case there are grubs under it. And … Continue reading They really do love the mud…
