This is our new used Port-a-hut , that our friends Gretchen and Jim gave us Saturday along with a heating mat and some little piglet feeders and waterers. We’ll move Winston into this because Sarah should be farrowing any day now.
Gifts like these are such a blessing when you’re in commando farming mode, doing only what is necessary for survival. It’s that time of year when there are a lot of expenses and zero income from the farm. It almost becomes a game, the Farming Super Challenge, to see how little we can spend and how creative we can be with our resources.
Two more blessings this weekend – Matt’s new nephew, Jake, born Friday evening in Texas. Congratulations Rick & Sandy, we can’t wait to see him!
And another calf born Sunday morning, a black baldy bull calf, no name yet.
