I'm am officially the worst blogger in the world!!! I can't believe I haven't posted since July!!! Anywho...I'll try to catch you up...
We sold all of Rosie's piglets, so she's on her own now (which she seems to enjoy). Jamison's planning on breeding her again VERY soon for Spring piglets.
We're down to 5 goats (4 does and 1 young buck) and a young wethered sheep. We lost 3 baby goats over the past few months to parasites :( I swore I was going to give up, but a couple of my goat pals (Meredith and Tammy) suggested that I try one more breeding season and go from there. So I will...I've had my buck in with the does since he was young and have never seen him overly interested, but you don't always see anything and the next thing you know your does are pregnant! So again this next Spring/Summer, I'll have NO idea who's bred and when they're due...it'll have to be a surprise!
Jamison did well showing all of his chickens and ducks at the fairs this year! He sold over 20 birds to cut back for winter. He still has a winter coop to finish!
And we found out my horse, Buddy, is coming home for the winter. He'll go back to my grandparents for Spring/Summer/Fall so he can graze and we don't have to feed hay. We don't have the pasture they do! We have a lot to get ready before winter...wish us luck :) I'll try to post more often!
