The ranch has two new additions
Last night our 2 new pigs made it to the farm. They arrived to a wet rainy farm but never the less they started rutting around in the soft dirt all night. They finally bedded down around 11pm. My daughters have wanted pigs for a while now so we decided to get them two one for each girl. Their names are Pinky & Maxx. I'm starting them out in a 24'x48' pen for now. I have plans for them on helping around the farm, using their snouts. And boy did they start last night !! I plan on moving their pen around about every other week or so, see how they do in the next couple weeks. After they clear one spot on to another spot fresh full of weeds and stuff for them to eat. I will re seed grain behind them for the turkeys to eat. So now my plan is goats in an area first then the pigs after the pigs re seed and let the turkeys and chickens go. Like to improve my land the natural way first, but if things don't work out, well I do have a tractor that can get the job done.
The two new pigs in there pen the next morning
