I guess we should enjoy the rain while we have it but...........
We had another 3-inches of rain from the all-day rain that we had on Friday. This brings the total up to about 7-inches in a weeks time.
As you can tell from the picture of the pig we have a big, muddy mess. This pig is being moved to an area that is not as muddy.
Saturday was Market Day in the morning & then Lee had a lot of catching up to do at the farm. Things still have to get done even though it's a mess. He relocated our boar (male pig) to his new girlfriends & prepared a farrowing hut (where our female pigs give birth) for our next mom-to-be. Me & the boys helped him move our "egg-mobile" to fresh pasture. The steers were also moved to fresh pasture and fed some alfalfa. With all the rain & mud our goats needed some TLC on their feet. We started the job of cleaning & trimming their hooves. Their hooves grow similar to our toenails and need to be trimmed and all of the mud, poop, etc that they have been walking on removed. This is the not so glamorous part of farming!
We also had to grind chicken feed & pig feed.
Here is Rosty helping his daddy open the bag of oats to put in the feed grinder.
It's lots of fun to climb on the bags too!
Charlie is helping too by scooping kelp into a bucket.
This is the trailer we use to move the pigs from pasture to pasture on the farm. We found a couple of "pigs" that wanted to ride.
