Moving into the new area of silvopasture. Farmer Matt has been working hard to get new areas opened to the herd so we can get a good silvopasture rotation going. This is the spring zone. The fall and winter areas are seeded with cabbage, clover, root veg, and other piggy delights to ensure proper enrichment and nutrition while maintaining the forest canopy. Pigs have definitely been a big "live and learn" animal.

I love updates on our piglets. 😍 These lucky ladies are living their best life enjoying plenty of new pasture. They're ready to get to work tilling a garden. ❤

As a first gen hobby farmer, my biggest takeaway has to be, "farming is weird." I say this as I bake a sweet potato and warm a Guinness for one of our does. Button's daughter needs a little help jump-starting her rumen.

Spring is coming...there are signs. 😍

Buttons and her midwife, Girlfriend, will have news to share, soon.
This little lady is exactly the kind of matriarch you hope for. Sweet and gentle with people and baby goats, while keeping her herd in line. She's the type of mom who will (and has) run into a burning to save her kids (or try to.) She's had a lot of bad luck as a mom, through no fault of her own.
No matter how many gates she opens or fences she plows down, I'll always contend she's a very good girl. Especially when she has unplanned pregnancies due to her ability to escape. She was 3 weeks past when she should've been due, from the date the last buck left our farm. Silly Buttons. 😍❤
**Lots of good stuff to say about Girlfriend, too, but I'm superstitious now. Seems like every time I talk up a chicken, it gets predatored immediately after.

There are 5 FULL bowls of food in the pen...and 6 heads trying to eat out of this one. 🤦‍♀️🤣
