Working hard on Caney Creek Farm!

Getting down and dirty with my lil piggies lol

Gala one of my Kune Kune girls had her piglets! Two boys and two girls and she's being such a good mama... I'm trying not to get attached as we are selling some and eating others but they are just so cute!

Thanks everyone! Bree is doing really well, I was afraid my other dogs wouldnt be nice to her but Bree seems to fitting in nicely. My chickens are slowly getting used to yet another dog lol Babsbag: I introduced Bree to Gus my mini donkey the first day she was here. I was also really nervous...

Yeah Gus was really a present from my mom for my birthday... She figured, like my dad, that he could protect my pigs... I always understood that the larger donkeys and mules stood more of a chance against any dog. Gus doesnt like my dogs, he will chase them away, but if a pack of dogs with bad...

Thanks much! She was the prettiest girl out of the bunch! lol The breeders said that in their experiences that color usually whitens with age. So she will most likely grow up to look like her mom (blonde coloring with the mask). We decided to get a girl as I heard that they tend to roam less...

Ive been worried about my animals after Evie my current farm protector passes away. I wanted to get a puppy that she could help teach the ways of the farm and such. Dad was reluctant to get any new breed (he has always had hounds) but I felt that now having my pigs around to protect maybe we...

I know right they are growing so well but still just as cute as always and ho so tame and friendly! The man we bought these from in Advance has two pure Kune Kune boars. We are swapping feed (we grow our own grains) for his boars services.

My girls are growing well! My neighbor has a Pot Bellied Pig boar and wants me to bring one of my gilts over so we can see what the cross piglets will look like. Idk yet weather I will or not, my dad wants me to. He says the neighbor and I would split the piglets and we would just eat them if we...

Well I bought a mini donkey lol his name is Gus. My dad says he will be our guard donkey but frankly I just bought him cuz he was cute hehe We don't really have a predator problem but its sort of for his peace of mind. Anyways he's sooo cute and very sweet and gets along so well with my pigs...

Wow hahaha thats so cool that you get the same magazine as I do! lol I was so pumped to see that they had an article all about them. In fact one of the pigs in the pic for the article looks just like my Gala teehee! Yes they are form New Zealand but no one is sure exactly how they got there some...

Yeah Im glad the bacon is good cuz my uncle and dad are all about eating tne piglets so it would be bad if it was no good lol

Yep yep we got some Kune Kune pig bacon from the guy we bought these from and it wasn't as fatty as my dad thought it would be so he was pleased with that I'm just pumped that we have plenty of grass for them so we can cut cost on feed

Thanks!!! I missed having lil chicks around so much its great to have some again. Im addicted to their cute peeping talks.

So I picked up some Silver Laced Wyandotte chicks today, 15 all together. Thats the most chicks Ive ever brooded at once. They said they are all pullets but you know there is always room for error when it comes to sexing chicks. With these lil guys now if my chicken math is right I have 25...

Well I doubt they would run away fare anyways I mean they get feed there right so they will stay close to where the food comes form I would think anyways can you put something in the gaps? Like idk chicken wire or something? Just so its not a wide open hole so they cant put their head through it...

More pics of my girls Gala and Fuji

I love their long hair too! I think I'll buy a brush for them, they love getting belly rubs so I'm sure they will enjoy a good brushing every now and then. I'm keeping an eye out for any rooting and really they don't seem to unless they are rooting in their straw bedding. Their noses are so...

Kune Kune pigs are grazers as they dont plow under the grass and are able to grow out on grass they actually say that giving them grain just makes them to fat. Im not sure if Pot Bellied Pigs would move around enough and really graze all that much or at least enough for them to live off it they...

Hahaha yeah you would be waiting for a loooooong time lol :D You should hang out with me and my two girls for a day Gala and Fuji could definitely teach you a few things
