Activity Update

This past summer and fall have been busy and rewarding.  We processed five hogs in early summer, sold two of them and butchered the other three, which now take up space in two freezers.  We love our home-raised pork.  We still have three of our Nigerian Dwarf bucklings, which are ready for rehoming immediately.  3 of the 6 bucklings that were born in April have been sold (one as a wether).  We purchased 5 additional feeder pigs in July, and all five have been sold, and will be processed in mid-December.  We are getting ready for winter, as we've had to light up the "dragon", our outside wood-burning furnace, to keep the house warm.  Alisa & Chris, and the rest of the household, welcomed a precious baby girl into the family on 14 November, Eloise Linda Beach, is named after her Great Great Grandma Eloise Bass and her Grandma Linda Beach.
So that's the update, pictures will follow in a little bit.
