Lucy brgins Her early Labour

That’s how I describe it when one of our Girls is ready to give birth! This time it’s Lucy, and she is loaded!

She’s been showing signs, well some signs for quite awhile, but over the past 36 hours or so she’s been showing even more signs. So, the time draws near. She’s been displaying a little Goop! Talking to Her unborn kids. Laying down a lot; I doubt she has much choice! Just look at Her! The Hour Draws Near! Ready! Set! Go!

I expect we may have some Bottle Baby Bucklings
If interested please call Brian at 902-907-0770.

Before and After Pigs Preparing the Garden Soil

Garden Soil before being worked by Pigs

I never get tired of seeing the work our animals do. This Year, December 1st and 2nd our Pigs were turned into our Garden Plot. The two photos show the Before and After. As You can see, they do an amazing job of disturbing the soil just enough to spur growth. Leave them too long, and they’ll compact the earth, but leave them just the right amount of time, and they turn it up and get it prepared for the next growing season. It’s not usually left till December and perhaps should have a Cover Crop, but this year we had beautiful days and 10 + celsius, that’s into the 50s F. Well-composted manure had previously, been applied and worked in.

Also, take note of the Green Grass still growing in the pastures. As a result of our animals, Goats, Pigs, Sheep, Chickens, Rabbits, and Ducks, enjoy their rotational pastures. Rotational Pasturing can be used, not only to keep parasite-free, healthy, livestock but also to encourage growing green grass and pasture forages.
