Summer Update
It's been a nice summer so far for the animals. We have had wet weather but so far not too much pneumonia. We have recently taken delivery of a new horse for Krystin, so we are looking forward to seeing her on a daily basis soon! There are four baby pot-bellied piglets roaming around the farm which have just been weaned. Isabella likes to feed the pigs corn, and sometimes takes a few bites for herself!
Sales (ahem!) and Acquisitions
Kyle had alot of fun taking the pigs to the auction sale in December. Ian didn't think they'd be worth much, but sent them anyhow. While Kyle was transporting them to Dave McNevan's truck from our truck, one squealed and escaped... now, can't you just picture Kyle and Dave chasing this little pig around - for a full hour? Too bad it's not on youtube! And how much did that pig sell for, after having been chased for an hour and transported for two, and fed for how many days at the farm? Four bucks. Now who's dumb as a pig - the pig or the farmer?
After a successful fair circuit, most of the cattle and horses are happy to be hunkered down in some nice fresh straw for the rest of the winter, and look forward to seeing all of their city friends this spring and fall!
