Pigs and Calves

The past weekend Heather and I spent a large amount of time constructing an enclosure in what was originally going to be the veggie plot.  The enclosure, 12m x 6m, with a 3x3m lean-to, was built to house the two newest inhabitants of the farm “this-one” and “that-one” our pigs.  Both are about six weeks old with one being a boar and the other being a gilt (or young sow).  We have procured them with the plan that in about 6 or so months we will dispatch them and get a couple more.  We have no plans to breed pigs at this stage.

We are also waiting patiently for Beaudette to have her little calf.  We have been expecting the delivery for the past week but Beaudette seems to be in no hurry.  I will update when the blessed event has unfolded.
