Well we've been busy the last couple of months. Putting in new cross fencing to help keep the pigs where they are supposed to be, the goats where they should be, and the cows, well the cows are actually pretty good about staying where they are supposed to be. All of our sows farrowed out so there are lots of new pigs running around, it has surprised me at how fast they grow. Many of the goats are either going to explode or kid out, me I'm hoping they kid out. And, our cows on the fall calving schedule are calving now. Two weeks ago we had some problems with one of our cows. She is a milk cow and evidently milk cows can have some problems with calcium deficiencies that beef cows do not have, who knew (oh yeah the people that raise milk cows, special thanks to Martin Owens our neighbor and Diane Harper another neighbor for helping us out). But the rest of our cows that calved are doing well.
