It's been a while since we have had a nice day. And I finally remembered to bring my camera outside with me.
Here are the steers that are left, we are down to 15 of them, just hanging around.
And Casey's new purchase. Six new Berkshire boars. This type of pig is known for having the highest quality pork and the pork is red in color. They take longer to finish out, so we hope by breeding them with what we have we can have a fast finish hog with high quality meat.
The Berkshire hogs have the 4 white feet, white snout and tip of the tail. Their piglets are usually born with the neatest color patterns. Often there are piglets that look like dalmatians. Hopefully I can post pictures of their piglets in 4 months or so.
Some of the piglets we currently have.This group of pigs were recently weened from their mothers and moved into the finishing barns.
The outside of the finishing barns. This spring Case had the Amish come up and add the doors on the barns. The past two winters the ends have been open. I'm so glad that we added them. They really help keep the heat in.
