Farm happenings.
Not much. Maybe we're adjusting to this craziness now and getting a better grip on it so the mishaps have decreased. I am worried about winter though, for the animals sake. My dream would be to have this pasture fence up before the cold sets in. I want Bethel to have a place to get some exercise and run and buck around a bit on nicer days.
I want to either winterize the pig palace, or get him set up in the barn.
The chickens have me the most worried though. They're in a concrete building that used to serve as a milk house. It's cold in there. We've thought about putting a heat lamp in there for them when it gets really cold. They just seem so little and frail.
And then there's the brood of cats. We let the outdoor ones in on Friday because the weather was just so bad. They got accustomed to the warmth pretty quickly and now are begging to come in all day long. To avoid the cat fights we had Friday, we've been letting them in at night into the basement. I'm sure they can make it out there on their own but we're still softy homesteaders.
