Day 16, waitin' on a dry day

...so I can set up fencing.

Weather today was cloudy, 50s and raining off and on.

Today I made several more calls to local breweries/bakeries/businesses (and other places that don't start with 'b'). No luck, everyone's got compost, pigs, a food pantry or a farmer they already donate to. I'm definitely making a map at the end of this depicting where all the food waste goes in this part of VT. It's quite impressive.

Friday I watched the pigs down about 12-15 gallons of milk in under 2 minutes. They're eating machines.

Also, I decided to sell 2 of the 8 piglets now rather than later. So I'll only be raising 6 piglets in addition to the two sows. They'll still do plenty of tilling, I have no doubt.

Tomorrow will ideally be the last day of pig selling. Then, as long as it stops raining long enough for me to set up fencing, they'll be on pasture!
