Well we have now delved in to the pig business. We have decided to purchase a few pigs not only to eat and sell but too help root up some land. Instead of the tractor rental this year we opted for the pig clearing method. Talk about biodynamic! The pig roots up your field as she placed in an area you would like cleared. She roots her little nose just like pigs do cleaning and clearing everything while dropping the most wonderful of fertilizers. Then you not only get the land cleared, you get fertilizer and then you also have some wonderful bacon and sausage. We have decided to allow the pigs in a piece we would like cleared they will be preceded by the goats who will move to the next paddock while the pigs do their work. The last but not least will be the chickens and the turkey's. At least this is our plan. We picked up the little cuties on Monday. That was also double duty I got to visit my grand kids and pick up the piggy's. Poor things I thought they would freeze to death going through Flagstaff but nope they came home just fine.
We hauled them back in the sheep pen not telling them they did not have their own little pen. Right now we have them in a holding pen getting them acclimated to us so they don't run when they see us. It has been so windy lately it has been hard to do anything else but feed them and work in the greenhouse. Today the wind is not suppose to be bad this morning so I am going to try and get some drip hose laid out and some lettuce in for May's market. The greenhouse is doing great I just have two beds to pull. I will usually wait until the bad days to work in there on changing beds etc. Spring is so busy and the weather so changing I try to get in what time I have to do all the outside work.
The animals are up early today usually they are sleepy heads not arising until after 7-730 but I can see the little piggy's poking their heads out from the straw. Sage and Pearl our saanan goats are playing around in the yard. I know it' s warming up now because Sage will not usually step out from the barn until it is well warming up. She is such the I am not going out in that weather gal.
