V&B

Rex & Fiona and kids
Victor & Bridgette
Happy 5 month birthday to these two! They turned 5 months on the 28th :)

Our baby swine are no longer babies. They are growing out really nicely and are still so sweet.  Bridgette is quite the bossy little lady and will push her brother out of the way when it comes to food. However, poor Victor doesn't fight back, he is pretty chill actually. He' like, "Okay Bridgette, whatever you say" so passive. 

It's hard to say exactly how much they might weigh, but they are looking bigger all the time. That could be because of the fallen fruit from the pear trees. They don't seem terribly interested in their evening meal recently. New plan, just put out food for them and see if they are interested after filling up on pears and grass and clover. 

We are still planning to process Victor come winter time, we'll see how he looks in January or February.

Vacation Day #2

Sunday, the day of the week that can be busy or quiet. And this past Sunday was filled with more commitments than the average Sunday. It's all good as we are usually with friends and enjoying fellowship in the process.

July 1 was Fiona's 4 month birthday.


At 4 months old Fiona is approximately 60-65 pounds. A couple of weeks ago we used a trick to guestimate her weight and she was just shy of 60 pounds. I'm not sure how much weight she puts on in a day or week, but according to Farmer Jason, the pigs are growing well. She is a little aloof, but  will keep still long enough to get a belly scratch. Overall, she is a sweet girl and we have hope that she'll be a good momma when it comes to it.
