We've had a busy last couple of days. We got the part for the tractor that needed welded, so Dan could get out there and bush hog. Of course everybody had to have a turn sitting on dad's lap :)
Our pasture looks so much nicer now and we can actually find Butterbelle when we go look for her.
We also got the electric fence fixed, so now the piggies can't root near the fence anymore. They're not very happy with us though and spent yesterday sulking and stayed in their shed all day. They're a little happier today. They have tamed up enough that when we feed them they will allow us to scratch them if we move slowly.
The one has been named "Little Miss Personality" or "Little Miss" for short. She sure HAS a whole bunch of personality and is always running around acting goofy. The other piglet is more reserved. We'll probably eat her. LOL. As Dan says: "No slackers allowed." I guess she's slacking in the personality department. Kidding aside though, we're keeping one pig for breeding and one for butchering, so we'll keep the friendlier pig which at this point is Little Miss. Next month we will be picking up our Mulefoot Boar and we'll breed an Ossabaw / Mulefoot cross for butchering.
Also, in other news, Dan finally bought a tractor! It is a 1941 Farmall H. He bought it at an online auction and will go pick it up on Saturday. It will need a new battery and some TLC, but it's only ever had one owner and has been stored in the barn. We're quite excited.
Our new (to us) tractor
Plus a very dusty Bradley sickle mower
Glad to finally have a tractor, it sure has been prayed for!
