Getting ready for winter! Beautiful weather this week. The side-by-side certainly makes chores easier!

Took one of our pasture raised American Guinea Hogs to the butcher today, as well as one of our Teasewater Lambs. They should both be tasty!

We humanely raised them our our homestead, and they lived good lives 🙂 The lamb I picked up and put into the trailer; the pig is a smaller pasture breed, so I was able to lure it into an old dog crate and then transfer that to the trailer. Next time I may try a plywood ramp into the trailer with feed as bait.

First time using L & J Meats as a butcher, but they come highly recommended and we look forward to the finished product :)

On tonight's episode of "Why the heck do we have pigs...?" You will see Shooby, literally too fat to walk or stand because he and our boar, Pumba, were crafty and found out how to open the slide on the bottom of the grain bin... emptying the remaining contents that were supposed to last another month 🤦🏻‍♀️

I always knew pigs were smart, but this sliding mechanism is tricky for humans to maneuver, so we were not expecting this at all. Currently moving the pigs to a grain free pasture area so they can digest this mess. Typically, they are nowhere near the grain bin, but we were allowing them in a temporary pasture to crush all the weeds and apparently this was a massive mistake 😒

We have three adorable bucklings that are ready for their new homes! They just turned 8 weeks old today 😊 If you happened to visit with us at the Kingsley Farmers Market, you've already met Butterbean, Vincent Van Goat, and Buster. They are Nigerian Dwarf/Mini LaMancha crosses. They can be left in tact or banded before leaving our farm. They have already been disbudded and are current on CDT. Please message if you'd like additional information.

It was a beautiful morning to work on some fence repairs and say hello to our Tibetan Yak Bulls 🙂
We put out a few hunting cameras for the upcoming season earlier this week, and are hopefully this buck bachelor groups sticks around!
