Granny's gone and done it again

Orange tree blossoms smell divine. It must be what heaven smells like.

Yes they do! I love tht smell. I have a mock orange bush. Close to the orange but not as strong.

Good morning all! Looking like brother’s pig might not make it to fair (at least not in our class). I have been helping him brush, condition, and weigh, but he doesn’t seem to care about her much. She is still on the lighter side.

Hammie still won’t go into the trailer, but she got 50% in yesterday. Also gave my problem chicken another calcium citrate pill yesterday. Getting ready to do a few IV shots on Thursday…need to get the goats a blood test to check for diseases. I have never done an IV shot before so that should be fun. Goats love the milking stand now and are doing really great during training. My mom keeps wanting an Alpaca

I told her maybe after the pigs are off to Fair in July. The shearing is gonna be dreadful though

Maybe entice Hammie into the trailer with a little food. That's the way I found to get my goats into a trailer before I rigged up a chute.

That’s what I have been doing. Pigs aren’t very…what’s the word…not physically built to get up and down stuff. I know she can, the trailer is really close to the ground…but it’s gonna take work.

Wonder if you could build a small ramp in her pen and put her food on the top?

Raining hard right now. Was very sudden. Glad I got all my chores done already. Barely made it back before the rain.

Its possible....

Just a quick update: Mom still is acting broody, but seems to be easing up a bit. That "cochin" is really small, too.
