We had someone come and divide the pig pens today. They're all together and Charlotte is due at the end of February so we cannot have them all together when she farrows. They aren't happy being seperated. Even though they can still touch noses and see each other, they don't like it. We might have to put Wilbur back in his old pen in the other barn. Out of sight out of mind. They are just so huge. They're about 500lbs each.
J. went to a friend's house for the afternoon, so I got a chance to clean our pig pen without interruptions. Oh! I got all those boots from Sears today. We found him a good pair in the bunch and it wasn't the most expensive either. So I'll have to return the rest on Tuesday.
Well that's about it for today. Church tomorrow and I'm leading worship.
Have a Blessed Evening.

I can't wait to have pigs, goats and chickens someday. It sounds very exciting yet peaceful at the same time.
ReplyDeleteMy goats never try to get out. I think that it's their size? They don't even play on the logs that I have in the pen for them. That's a lot of pig you got! When is the butcher camp?
ReplyDeleteButcher camp will probably be in late Feb. Now that we've transfered the two small ones in their own pen, they'll be able to eat all they want without fighting with the two 500 pounders. We don't butcher them, we bring them to a pro. We're not equipped for that. Mentally and physically. If you get my meaning.
ReplyDeleteThose are some big pigs. Love the names.
