The End of June



Herding pigs their new home.


Pig herding is easiest with pig pushers, lots of help, and patience.


Success! I'm in charge of crowd control while the fence is being connected.

Hilled potatoes, hilling is a great form of weed control.

Meat birds (cornish rock crosses) see the second week of May for an earlier picture.

Pigs on pasture. They're most active in the mornings and evenings. During the rest of the day they sleep or lay around.

There are carrots, not just quack grass in the above picture.

After some hand weeding... Carrot plants!
Carrots don't compete with weeds very well and need extra attention as a result. This year we had spotty germination in some places.
