We’ve been so busy that many things have just flat been neglected. To be honest almost everything that wasn’t critical has been neglected. We made a little progress this weekend even with the dreary weather.

We sold 2 pigs Saturday and they are coming back for another one next Saturday. After they left I fixed the main gate that wasn’t closing all the way. Then I fixed a place in the fence where the dogs were going under. Just a note, I have more trouble keeping the Great Pyrenees in than I do all the other animals combined. 

Sunday afternoon we castrated some little boars that should have been done weeks ago.

This morning I found our second midsize Jersey “BobbieJo” standing next to a new little bull. I really hoped she wasn’t that far along. Her and Olive’s calves were spaced about 6 months apart. Perfect for milking. After she got sick last time and stopped eating I took the calf off her and drenched her with propylene glycol until she was eating again. I also held her in another pasture away from the bull until she got out and got hit by the truck. Any way that gave her some time to build up her body but not long enough to keep her on the same schedule. I may try to separate her again to delay her being bred but I don’t know how it will work since I don’t have the pasture across the road anymore. Mike will probably just tear down the fences to get to her.
