It's been a while since anyone paid attention to our "blogs". I will attempt to get them updated on a regular basis. We also have a FB "Anchored Farms" page and an Instagram "Anchored Farms". Feel free to follow all three. These pictures were taken on 31 January 2022.
Time flies when you're having fun. A lot has happened since 2019. I will attempt to update this form of e-journal on a regular basis.
This pictures were taken on 10 Jan 2022. Josiah wanted to wait to celebrate his birthday, until Grandma Stark could be here for the celebration. She was gone for almost a year, spending time with the other family members in Arizona, Washington, and Oregon.
On 2 November, we delivered eight hogs to Golden City Meats. All eight were sold to friends. Six of them, were born on Anchored Farms to our sow Crimson on 20 February 2020. At 8 months of age, their carcass weights were; 222, 214, 198, 194, 189, and 178 lbs. The remaining two, were Red Wattle/Herford cross that we purchased and were about 45 days younger than our six. They dressed out at 162 and 160 lbs.
A big thank you goes out to the people who reserved them when they were still small piglets.
Our Red Wattle sow gave birth to 15 piglets. Unfortunately, three were stillborn, but she was done farrowing when Chris went out to do morning chores on 22 Sep.
Our first time mama goat, Georgia, gives birth to triplets on 28 September, however one was deceased. The two kids in these pictures with Charlene, are doing well, small, but doing well.
