We have had very little activity for the last year and a half as I have been recovering from getting crushed in an industrial accident. That is changing now. We are currently building new farrowing houses and repairing chicken houses damaged in the wind storms. We are expecting baby pigs starting in February and running through April for our spring litters. We are bringing in new layer chicks to have plenty of early summer and beyond eggs- our girls are old and the foxs were busy last year. We are also building new portable hutches for our newest livestock, American rabbits.
We will be raising both white and red broilers this spring and look forward to the turkeys back in the fields, seems so bare without them and the sheep, and they will both be reappearing soon in the form of a small flock of girls to help the chickens,goats and rabbits manage our pastures for us.
