Coffee is ready! Got errands to run today.

I went through the contortions to get ewes across driveway and in the chute. Doctored Granny and was greatly encouraged. She has new hoof growing in! I’m still keeping it wrapped so the old hoof doesn’t tear off, exposing the inner hoof. Granny is dressed in orange in the holiday spirit...

Coffee is ready here. Laid out a package of boar steaks to cook tonight. Going to run ewes across the driveway to the working chute so I can put fresh vet wrap on Granny’s foot. I have to unroll wire from their night pen gate, to block off the field. Drag hog panels across driveway on one side...

Work is never done. Kinda like a cat having kittens, it just keeps multiplying!

Thank you! Thought I’d add, on that big boar, I got 70 pounds of just boneless meat. Sure saves freezer room with no bones.

Tons of good information in older posts. Research to your hearts desire and feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Lots of Texas wineries. Llano wine is very good.

Wide awake at 2 AM. I hate that. I’ll be dragging all day.

Now I understand. ❤️

I got all that meat cut up and done except for about 12 pounds to put through the meat grinder. Went to church this morning, grocery store this afternoon. Meat is in refrigerator and I’ll hit it in the morning. I’m just all hogged out today. LOL

That’s picture of the week!

That just looks calming and peaceful.

Finishing my coffee. Then morning chores, then process 200 pound feral boar. Processed the sow yesterday.

Fresh ham from feral boar. I took a center cut for ham steak. Look at that beautiful dark red meat! The ham weighed 22 pounds.

Just now, at 69

You are selling your spinning wheel and wool? I thought that was one of your preferred hobbies.

I definitely recommend the hanging wire cages. Easier to clean. I wouldn’t put domestic rabbits on the ground. It sounds all natural and touchy feely, but they dig. Plus they fight.

I also have dark humor and can appreciate your “cheering up”.

Yup. If you can’t attach the verticals to the bottom frame, then sink posts in the ground on the inside to fasten the horizontals to.
