Days 54 & 55: Movement sans madness!!




Weather: MUGGY. Record breaking, even.

I think we've finally got this pig movement thing under control.

On Wednesday, Stuart and I moved the piglets in the evening back to Virginia Russell (which is now powered by the farm lines, not a battery!!!)

I also heard this fascinating and well researched VPR story. Definitely in line with what I'm trying to accomplish with my sliding scale pork prices.

On Thursday, Hannah and I moved the sows out behind the barn with no problem.

Also on Thursday, I brought some friends out who are new to Sterling (they're here for the summer program in Farm to Table) and they delighted in checking out the piglets. We fed them whey from the kitchen's cheese making as well as spare beet greens and bakery seconds. They seemed quite happy with our offerings.
