oh, the biels like to jump high, and clearly have NO respect for my baby! Livvy pooped on my spare… she’s lucky not to be soup.
Yeeahh, about that… Here is Frodo and Sam on cull day. Live wt at 14 weeks was about 6-6.5 lbs; dressed 4.5-5 lbs.
They did not get along with Spatch, who is top dog so they had to go.
