Well yesterday was an interesting day
for us here. A year ago, I believe we cleared (not completely left
some nice oak trees) for a pig enclosure. Then me and Silver were
discussing it and decided we didn't want the hassle of a full sized
pig, as they can be dangerous and require really good fencing here.
As if they get “away” from you you WILL be fined. Wild hog (read
a feral) is a problem in this state.
Well yesterday our neighbors from down
the road came over and asked us if we might be interested in some Pot
bellied pigs. 5 of them for free. Well, pot bellied pigs don't get
very big and while they still need sturdy fencing.. and “rooting
under” fencing their requirements are about what a goat needs aside
from height. While the goat may jump a 3 foot fence the little piggy
won't. So we are going to go out and buy some fencing and set up a
pig enclosure in about 2 weeks then we will be the proud owner of a
small herd of pot bellied pigs. 2 adult sows.. 2 young-uns.. and one
boar.
Also these same neighbors were looking
at Momma and said, “you know, We have a horny goat at home how
about you bring her by and we'll see if we can't get her pregnant.”
Yeah on 2 counts! So Momma is over visiting a right handsome fella
right now and hopefully we'll get something out of that.
I've been up before the sun this
morning making bread and feeding everybody else. I even have some
laundry going.. and we'll see what today might bring us.
Be Well, Be Safe, and Blessed Be...
