First off, I'm SO sorry for not posting in ages! I have a lot to catch up on!!!
I sadly said goodbye to my little Pepperanne, a week ago last Thursday, to what a goat friend believes was an overload of worms/parasites :'( I had wormed them, but with all of the wet/humid weather we've been experiencing in Maine it wasn't enough! I encourage everyone to make sure you worm VERY regularly and make sure to give them extra vitamins and fresh water every day. I was giving fresh water, but wasn't scrubbing my buckets with bleach or offering electrolytes (which are important for any animal in that kind of weather)! I've learned a lot, but am VERY sad I had to learn the hard way!
On a happier note, Rosie (our pig) was due to have piglets on the 26th and still hasn't had them yet...anytime now! I'll be sure to post pics as soon as she does! We've raised pigs before, but never had our own piglets.
Emma and I picked our first 3 cucumbers from the patch yesterday and a quart of blueberries! We're bringing some blueberries to the bakery where we get pig food from in exchange for a blueberry pie...YUM!
I'll be posting more often and posting some recent pics of Little Bit Farm soon :) Thank you to those who follow our page!
