Maybe reminding him how much less work it will be at feeding time with her gone - not to mention - lower feed bill!!

Hope the wife wins!!

Well now he is motivated but says he doesn't want to pay the butcher, so he's planning on doing it himself. OK by me, I don't like paying people to do things we can do either. So he's off to see about how to hang a pig (our normal contraption has been torn apart).

Wow - when he gets motivated - he gets motivated!! That's awesome!

 

[NH Homesteader]

I think he's still pretty grumpy but he'll get it done (I hope!)

Forecasted highs in the low 40's today. Gotta bring the girls out to see the goats!

Gotta bring the girls out to see the goats!

Woohoo!! Sounds like fun!

Pig's going to be tomorrow, but I'll survive as long as it's done this weekend! DH has a friend who is busy today but said he can help tomorrow. It's just so much easier with two people.

Someone has a dog they apparently don't pay much attention to because it's been in my yard pretty much every day. It's lucky, it just missed meeting my dogs by about two minutes earlier. DH shot to scare it off... Much less frightening for it than what my dogs would do. Why can't people watch their animals?

Wow.. I have 3 very obviously pregnant goats. Two I can't quite tell. My Nigie has got to have multiples in there... Oh boy! I'm going to be busy...

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Awesome! When are they due?

 

[NH Homesteader]

I have no idea... Lol oops? OK I have dates for the new girls, one mid March, one at the end of March. My three... Anytime after February 20th or so. I just let them live with Clifford. Bad me... Next year I'll be better about that! I have my heat lamps and kidding kit ready to go whenever they may need it.

Lol - now you sound like me!
