After a long week of hard work, a rainy weekend is welcome and we’re using the time to take some well deserved rest and relaxation, curled up in our blankets, watching Movies, and catching up on our rest, after a Hard Dog’s Night! Holly, our Golden Retriever / Nova Scotia Duck Toller (Little River Dog) works hard ad plays hard, and deserves a good rest too!
Do You need rest and relaxation? Come spend some time with Us at Briden Farm! Leave Your fears behind and come embrace the fun at Briden Farm, where the tea is always on and the coffee is not far behind!
So thankful You’ve taken time to share in our ride!
In A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm Part 1 and A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm Part 2 You got to see how we’re turning our Woodlands to Pasture and later to Gardens with the help of our Nigerian Dwarf Goats and our Berkshire Tamworth Pigs. How we’re making fencing from up-cycling old Mink Cages, and even how much of a slope we have on certain parts of Briden Farm. In fact, You even discovered that sometimes I think it’s better to turn the camera off and concentrate on our driving!
Now, get ready for A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm Part 3. In Part 3 You’ll see the conclusion, you’ll see how far I got, and get a sneak peek at the journey back!
Thanks so much for watching our videos! I learnt a few things making this three part series of A Tractor Ride at Briden Farm. One thing is, now that we’ve got Fibe from Bell it takes minutes, not hours, to upload videos! This means that next time, I can do a long length video and know that it’s possible to get it uploaded! It also makes me think it might be nice to have a GoPro camera and some related equipment to make even better videos! Not sure how soon we can do that, but with your support maybe it’ll happen sooner rather than later!
Recently we got pigs at Briden Farm, we’ve never raised pigs before, they are a mix of Berkshire and Tamworth. This Video shows us trying to coax our new Pigs, Tom & Jerry, off the Truck!
Apparently they liked their ride home! So we’re not eager to unload when we first got them home to #BridenFarm.
Since this is actually our first time ever handling Pigs, we were somewhere between apprehensive and excited and I think the Pigs picked up on that! As a result, and because They enjoyed the ride Home so much, You won’t even get to see the Pigs in this video, but it’s pretty funny, and we think you’ll get a chuckle out of the antics! Ours, not theirs! To actually see the Pigs, you’ll want to watch our next video, Training the Pigs to eat from Their New Trough!
Now, when we picked up the Pigs, They warned us not to chase them! If they get loose, but to just wait and lure them with food. So, when one of them escaped off the truck, and disappeared for a few minutes, we waited and took time to set up a little temporary fence along the path he took to escape! Then when he returned we tempted him with food and when we got him close to the path, he picked up his scent, and probably his brother’s scent, and went right back in the way he come out! Except that instead of going back on the truck, he followed his brother’s scent and followed him in to their new pasture. Which by the way is where the Bucks and Ducks used to be, and now the Pigs are housed in their pasture, and are living in the old Buck Pen! Don’t worry though… we still have the Bucks, and the Ducks, and they too have new pastures!
