Thanks Kel...its definately a work in progress. 
Bee, your not getting your pig!?? Awww. What happened? I hope all of your sisters pigs made it! I know you were worried about pneumonia, with the muddy conditions they were in.

Just, since I'm getting this big ol' milk cow and she will be having a calf, add on a sheep....I decided that was enough livestock for this place.justusnak said:Thanks Kel...its definately a work in progress.

I was only getting the pig because I needed an extra grazing animal to help my sheep keep down the grass. Now I will have two large animals, hence making it necessary to only get one sheep for now. If I think the pasture will support everyone, I will add to that sheep later.
Pigs are okay and I had one when I was young that was quite a pet....but they are not my favorite livestock to deal with. They can do some damage with their rooting, you can't really put a rope around their neck and expect they can't pull out of it, so they are hard to transfer or load on a truck.
Maybe one day, huh? I don't want to turn my place into my sis's farm...devoid of a blade of green grass!

I totally understand that!!! We have plenty grass here....well..it seems for now.
I just came in from mowing.....2 hrs, and only have half done! I Might have to mow in the pasture...I dont think these 2 sheep will be able to get it down....its pretty tall...maybe 8 inches. I will give them another week...and see how they do. We have about 2 acres of woods...I need to fence off. Maybe I will put my pigs in there....one day! Adding sheep this year is enough I think....plus we will definately have the feeder pigs. Planted the radishes today...and after I cool down, I think I will go out and plant my beets. Hopefully I can get them in the ground....supposed to rain tomorrow. YUK!
So I took a pic of my taters....here they are, coming right along!!

The sheep are beautiful! My one sheep owning friend has two Shetlands (and something else I can never remember). Her Luna looks like your April. This is my son with her Adam, a few years ago.
If only I had the space, I'd have a pair of Shetlands.

Good deal on the lawn mower! We just got a freebie one from my papa too. He and granny just bought 15 acres and will have to mow with a tractor so he gave us his riding mower, it's a Statesman, on oldie but goodie! So much easier on my shoulders! Love the pic of the sheep but don't they look funny right after they are sheared? 
They look so skinny!
