New Batch Of Piglets.
The old momma sow has done it again, this time the offspring are a cross with a Large Black Hog. She gave birth to 9 healthy little black pigs, If your in need of a pig, they should be ready in a few months!

New Chicks And A New Dexter.
Well another December Dexter is here. its almost like clockwork huh? Looks like a heifer this time, seems like its been bulls for the last three or four! Yay !!
I just went out and checked , and momma and baby are fine, in fact the baby is up and walking all over the pasture, with or without mamma's permission.
Here is the last calf born in July I think, checking out the new friend. Not the size on him, he will be one of the mini -sized Dexters, his mama has had nothing but smaller sized calves. This heifer was borm this morning and she is almost as tall as him, curious indeed.
And of course Tanner in the background, he's mad because I won't let him in the back pasture to get stomped, how cruel I am.
Anyway stay tuned I will get better pics when the other camera gets home, lol.
The New Chicks!
We got a new batch of chicks this week , all the old hens are running out of eggs hehehhe, so time for a new set of layers.
So in about four or five months, more eggs! Can't beat that!
The only trick now will be keeping these little jokers warm enough, they are in the barn with two heat lamps on them, hope that's enough! As always , I'll keep you posted!
