Coffee anyone ?

The Amish came and gone, had to tie the cat down cause they almost bought it too as they wanted the rest of the (barrows) pigs I have. I just didn't know a price for them.

So, did you keep a couple sows and the boar for breeding?

Yep and they want the barrows. Except I don't know a price for them. Would be 5 of them that right on the edge of ready or is ready.

According to weight... slaughter sized hogs here are in the 2-250 lb range... yours might be leaner built... hogs in general are down some... $.55 to .70 lb.... so maybe $125 to 150 for a 200 lb hog average... Fat sausage type hogs will bring closer to .75 a lb.... but they are not money makers unless you are feeding alot of waste milk and garden surplus and such.... Ridiculous when you look at what pork .... especially things like cured hams, cost...

Best to butcher them on that note.

Up since 5:30am, drinking coffee.


Will I start sleeping in more once I retire?


Cold weather coming across the US for Thanksgiving and foreseeable future. Time to get the winter clothes out of the closet...

Sleep more? Probably not for a while -- it's your rhythm. Eventually you will alter that. Naps happen tho.

My winter duds are out, ready & some in use. Not ready for this early cold -- I'm more "Christmas is soon enough" type person. Yeah, then there's only the dreaded Jan/Feb cold to handle.

Fogged in this morning. Heavy stuff! Like 200' visibility. It's "white" out there. No driving for a while. I keep checking my work schedule and it's basically empty. It's taking a lot of adjustment. Shattering my routines
