Pippi and Tuulen (whippet-standard poodles) ready for morning rounds…

Piglets at the Gate

The girls are sure getting big!! Today we moved the portable electric fencing so they could forage in a new area of the forest and they took turns standing politely just inside the gate and snacking and rooting just as far as they could stretch. Given that pig necks are not that long, that wasn’t very far! I’m sure when they realize what treats await them in their new area they’ll be quite happy to explore every nook and cranny. While they are busy doing that, the area they’ve just vacated has been re-seeded with a nice pasture mix, all ready for the next round of piggy snouts!

So far, barn cat is losing to the bantam roosters who routinely chase her off her food and then chortle to themselves as she looks on.
