New Dairy Calf and Large Black Hogs!!

Last Sunday we went to pick up a Large Black boar hog from a local breeder here in the area, on the way back with the hog, my sister called and said one of the dairy heifers was in labor.  We got home and found Sweetpea, who was born here two years ago, already in labor with hooves coming out!

Sweetpea, the new Momma

  In about the fastest labor i have seen, she had the calf delivered in about an hour!  And sweet Lilly came into the world!

Lazy Barn Cat And Other Stuff

This is Fritter, one of our barn cats, she is takin it easy today , maybe because its 98 degrees outside. We are waiting for the rain too, we mowed out front and it looked like a dust storm was rolling thru.



This is one of our little bulls, he stands only three feet tall. He is a Dexter X Beefmaster cross, our neighbors fence just couldn't hold big daddy bull in. He's almost the spittin image of his daddy.



This is Lucille, one of our milkers, she's a Jersey X Guernsey cross, she puts out alot of milk and its loaded with cream. Lucille is due any day now, look at the size of that bag!




This is Clemetine, she was one of the first to come join us at the farm, she has a daughter here with us named Darlin, get it? Anyway I was messin with the camera settings and found the sepia setting, cool huh? hehehe


So there you go a few pics of the goings on around here, more to follow.
