Happy Birthday to these two free loaders! 🥳

Ernie officially turns 4 today and Milo turns 3!

Since we don’t know his actual birth date, we declared them birthday twins and Milo is celebrating his honorary birthday today as well.

These two goofs are two peas in a pod, offer absolutely no assistance to farm life except for comic relief and a surprise need for baths. But - we love them just the same, our lives would be very boring without these two “Dum Dums” to keep us entertained. 🤣

Our herd matriarch Petunia (AKKPS 25417: Ten Mile Ranch TaruTaru) has blessed us with some big bodied, well muscled, fast growing healthy litters the last couple years. She turns 5 in Feb but still handles pregnancy, farrowing, and nursing weight like a dream. She is by far our best momma here. She is gentle, extremely careful (has never lost a piglet), and keeps her litters in line with quiet corrections.

She will be paired with our boar Rough (Akkps 36555 4 Winds Farms Tuahuru) for the first time this winter for early spring 2027 babies. We are excited to see what this pairing will bring!

We may have been quiet on social media lately, but the farm has been anything but.

This is my favorite time of year. The weather is getting cooler, the trees are blessing us with gorgeous colors, bonfires in the cool night air as we prep for the season of thanks.

Getting ready for winter has us working until sun down, which is now 7pm. We are continuing our pasture rotation schedule, planning future grids to extend our grazing as long as possible before moving into winter pens, planning breeding pairs, revamping farrowing pens, cleaning, storing, and scheduling pork processing.

No rest for the weary but we are always grateful for the life we live, the animals we raise, and the challenges we face.

Jay Gatsby giving me the stink eye when I fed the sow pen before him. He was not amused.

Proof of life post for Sue Sue (Sue Otis) Snake Doctor Farmstead 🤣 She is living her best life out on pasture, and will have her first hot date with our boar Rough in a few months for little Suzette’s next spring. ♥️

Spent a few minutes this morning with the weaners and their babysitters. Two of our March barrows are going home with cookie so they were brought in, along with their sister, to babysit the crew of new babies as they transition away from mom. The gilt was added to keep our runt company after all the others have left.

We don’t talk too much about our runts, mostly because they don’t make it. Wee man (Lil’ Man) was the first we posted our journey with, and thankfully he has been a success. He is thriving, growing leaps and bounds, and currently living with Dad in his pasture destined to be his permanent companion.

Apple is Peach’s runt and the smallest we have had. At over 8 weeks old, she is 1/3 the size of her littermates. We thought we were going to lose her a couple times early on, but she fought through it and is still fighting for breakfast with the group today.

She has an umbilical hernia that we are wrapping, but otherwise she is living a completely normal pig life out on pasture. We are going to keep her going as long as she can live with her herd. She isn’t getting a special ration, she lives with her littermates, and thoroughly enjoys sleeping in the sun. If she continues to do well, and gain weight, then she will be added to the youngster group for over winter where she will have 3 other pigs to snuggle with when it gets cold.
