We have a mama pig ready to farrow and no fence around the pig house that we finished today. So we made a big pen inside our calf barn next to the training ring \u2026 just in case she has piggies while we&#8217;re gone. We did NOT want her to farrow in a mud hole in the pig pen! She&#8217;s happy and we&#8217;re less worried. David will do chores and watch over her while we&#8217;re gone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Pig-house.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2319\" title=\"Pig-house\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Pig-house.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s our five new calves going through various stages of scours. We&#8217;ve been treating them for four days now and some seem better &#8212; a couple have relapsed. They&#8217;re on sulfa and electrolytes (the sick ones), so David will also have to play vet, doctoring those babies. I really hate to leave them like that as he&#8217;s not real experienced in sick animals yet. But both our vet and I are only a phone call away so I&#8217;m praying everything will be okay while we&#8217;re gone. It&#8217;s hard to be a homesteader and go away for longer than a day!<\/p>\n<p>I hope to see a lot of you at the Fair!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We worked like dogs today to get ready to drive down to Custer, Wisconsin, to the MREA Fair.
