There is a population explosion happening at the farm. Piglets, lambs and lambs and lambs, calves and...puppies! Yes, we have our first litter here at the farm. Sassy had a litter 2 weeks ago and they are adorable, 100% Great Pyrenees fluffballs. Sassy is doing great (but Brett might have lost some … [Read more...]
Activity in the Barn
Our little nursery in the barn is overflowing! Piglets, calves, lambs and, shortly, a new litter if Great Pyrenees puppies will be among them. First and foremost, one of our Chester White sows had 15 piglets. That is surely a record for us (and likely for her). Here she is taking a well deserved break... There … [Read more...]

While others nestled right in like sardines to keep warm... The dogs kept watch by day, but took shelter under the … [Read more...]
Snow Coming In!
Brett has the animals all ready for the weekend of sleety, and nasty, bitter cold weather. The pigs are in the open barn, or bedded down in their huts with copious hay. Either way, they have a nice thick layer to keep out the chill. The chickens huddle inside to stay out of the breeze and fluff their … [Read more...]
