Ok so....that long story.

We closed on the house and started moving, the landlords stating calling us repeatedly starting 3 days after closing. I refused to answer because I was busy and stressed and didnt feel like dealing with them. So on Nov 4th they left a message that said they would consider us moved out of the trailer as of the 5th of Nov and not to worry about our stuff outside we could get it whenever.

Meanwhile their niece and her hubby and kids have been living in our landlords garage for the past 4 months. Landlords told them either you rent the farm for $700 month and give us $450 for the security deposit or get out and be homeless. So this young couple were at the farm starting on the 5th and were told to clean and repair the place(so much for a security deposit). The landlords also told them that all the stuff on the property was from us and we trashed the place. They told them we were never on time with the rent and our dogs were a nuisance and all kinds of other lies. The landlord told them that if they scrapped off all the metal on the place he would split the money with them...including our stuff like our manure spreaders, plow, tiller, tractor, hay elevators, grain elevators, silo, rabbit cages, running gear for a hay rack, etc.

DH had a long chat with them and told/showed them all the problems with the trailer and how it really wasnt going to be liveable for them and their kids. The landlords also told them they are not allowed at all to heat with a wood stove and could only use the furnace they are putting in...nevermind there are no floor vents now. They is no possible way to heat that place with a furnace it would cost $500/month in propane. DH also told them about the problems with the water lines freezing for weeks. I dunno if they are still moving in there or not.

They also told DH that the husband landlord told the (landlord wifes)niece he wanted to take pictures of her naked in the hay field. So they will probly move about anyplace to get away from them.

So now we are trying to get our stuff off of that place before the landlords try to pull any crap because i still own them $300 for that last 15days or whatever of rent. The delay now is DH getting his hubs swapped over.

It is really sad that those kind of people exist, but it reminds me of the in-laws that are in Michigan....I don't blame ya for being in a rush to get your stuff off the property and I would get it even if it had to be stored outside, oiled down and covered with a tarp til something could be done better. The sooner ya can cut ties to them for good, the better ya will be. When ya get all your stuff and are leaving for the very last time...brush off your shoulders and tap the dust off your shoes....it may sound silly, but ya will be amazed as to the events that will develop a bit later on....and just tell the Father that it is in His hands.....:)

It's sad and frustrating but thankfully i dont really have to deal with them anymore. If we lose some stuff in the process oh well.

Nothing new at the farm really, just been hunting and I started putting up Christmas decorations. My one very broody pycheon hen hatched a chick before we moved her from the old farm. DH hadn't seen her in like 2 weeks and didnt know what had happened to her but we found her in the hay loft on a nest with two chicks. Sadly one didnt make it but the other seems to be doing well so far.

We believe the three big girl pigs are bred by our hereford boar. We are waiting to see if they go into heat or not, it would put piglets are the middle/end of febuary which is reasonable for 4h piglets.

Oh i didnt mention either, my polled buck Tyrion was found dead yesterday in the pasture. It was very clear him and moon the stupid buck i dislike had a bad fight, they were getting along fine before that but i think the move stress during early rut and the much smaller pasture was just to much for them.

You move to your own place, trying to make a permanent home for you and your animals and the thanks you get is murder in the buck pen. Stupid buck. Well, after he fulfills his purpose and breeds your does, is he on the short list for BBQ or sale?

I hope your sows are bred and present you with healthy litters. Do you sell them to 4H and FFA kids? That is good news about the hen and her chick, glad your husband found her and got her moved to her new home. You went hunting, that is good for clearing all the garbage out of your head. Time spent outdoors in the quiet with no interruptions is time well spent, whether you shoot anything or not.

Very stupid buck! DH wants to eat him I just want him gone fast. The problem with eatting him is he would need to be castrated and he is 3yrs old now as well as our only buck atm.

I hope they are too! We sell pigs to 4h/FFA yes. The mixed breed pigs are sold pretty cheaply to the 4h kids at $50/each, the herefords will be $100 each if they want show stock. We do give discounts to families that have to buy multiple pigs. We also sell our goat kids and this year should be some lambs to sell as well.

I do like to go hunting but DH is sooooo loud i get annoyed sometimes :barnie

Sorry to hear about your polled buck. That's a big loss, as that gene is no longer available to pass on to future kids. Yeah, loud and hunting rarely go together and the peace and serenity of just sitting quietly and blending into the background is great for the brain. I've enjoyed many naps while doing so. :D

Heck with waiting on the hubs for the truck! I'd find some way to rent a truck and trailer big enough to get all your stuff or hire someone to do it. You have a small fortune in "metal" over there. All those pieces you mentioned are worth many hundreds and in some cases thousands of $$
