pigs

Goodbye piggies! We made the choice to go ahead and sell the girls. I put a great price on all 3 and listed on craigslist. Sold within 24 hours. Pigs eat so much! There is no way people save money by raising their own pigs and eating them. Not with the price of feed now. So as much as we wanted to finish out the whole experience with pigs we just didn't.

body guard

So we have the roosters out freeranging so we can have some fertile eggs. I am getting used to the guys being out. Neither of the roosters are the over aggressive type. The only time they attack is when I have the food scoop (which is scary, but I can deal with just that) I haven't seen too much rooster/hentastic action in the yard, but there are piles of feathers so soothing is going down when I am not watching - hehe

jackie

This is our new mini donkey we named Jackie! We got him on Tuesday. Actually got him in the back of the jeep in a friends dog carrier we borrowed. It was a interesting ride home!
Jackie is a feisty little guy and today a horse trainer I know came over and helped me with halter breaking him. This is going to be lots of work, but it will be so worth it!
