Seriously???
Why would they do that?

People get obnoxious with cameras... better to have one person record it, than every person sitting there with a camera. Distracting to the kids too. Possible flash photography... etc.

Imagine 300 iPads with LCD screens facing you held above heads.

Off to cocobeach

Yeah and its hard to restraint parents to begin with. Much easier to band them all.

I have some lamb bands I can try on you pig.

We are in Tiling. Its not green as the Rain Season is over and Summer has just started. Still, its nice to see the fauna doing well. The veggi garden is looking great. 8 hrs till eggs set.

Eggs are set. I lost 8 eggs in transit. None of those were HFR SS or Pigs eggs. We have Goose, Muscovy, Pekin, turkey, chicken and some local laid Chukar. Add those to the 160 local eggs and the mega bator is well stacked.

We are vaccinating for Mareks this afternoon then working with pigs.

Busy times. The clock is counting down to departure. In 48 hours we will be on the road again.

Its 9pm. Time for sleep. The travel has taken its toll and I am wiped out.

Its been a good day overall.

I reassembled the compressor I sent over by ship. I tried it out filling up some balls for the kids. Tomorrow we cold galvanize the farrowing pens
