Welcome babies and babies and more babies......
| The farm has been busing with the start of birthing season. Both piglets and kids have been forn the last few weeks. Five of the Boer goat gave birth to a total of 13 kids. Our Hampshire crossbred sow had 7 piglets. And next week? We expect 11 ewes to be lambing. Our babies are staying warm in the barn until they are old enough to go outside, so you will have to wait until spring to visit them. |
