Selling our Pigs.

Happy Day. Time change. I was hoping we would ignore it and still get up and go with the Sun. We did not. We took advantage. We went by the clocks and we got an hour extra sleep, so that's good. Yeah, it does look like it's sunny in there, but it's actually light. Big day. Piglets are going away today, sole pigs. They're two months old. Come on. Yeah, turn it off. Good boy. See we don't need it. We don't need it. Let's have the natural light. Rebecca's making her Aunt Flossie's cornbread. Or is it her mom's? And turkey tacon. All while running this farm and adjusting to this new time change. Okay, we're just gonna keep it on this time. It's It's spinning. You're gonna drink that kefir smoothie? Okay, I'm gonna put it back up here. How about put it in the pig bucket? No? It feels like something's wrong. Throw those eggs in buddy. What do you have there? Let's put in my favorite part. You ready for my favorite part? Tablespoons of peanut butter. Gap's pancakes. Don't get a lot until you know you're sure you like them. Hot apples, eggs. That means you fit in this now. This used to be Mr. Brown's. We've got 45 minutes till the pig people come. On top of the piglet woodchips, can you also move the chickshaw please? Yeah. We have been going balls to the wall. It doesn't wear on anybody more than it wears on Rebecca. She's gonna need to honor her body, rest. What? Okay, I'll go get my shoes and meet you down there. I'm gonna try to do the minimum. I'm thinking we're gonna start garden the Sabbath a little better. You can't help a funeral. We can help a horse show. What? Oh wow, who cleaned up in here? Holy smokes. We can help Lily's horse shows. They're on Saturday. This actually might work out because Lily wants to get into jumpers. Those events happen on Sunday. Only problem is her trainer doesn't do... Yeah. Yeah, you're gonna move the chicken tractor back to the bass shed. All right, I like it. Hey, he's picking out his own level three responsibility. He's deciding his own chores this morning. Oh my gosh. What happened to the four-wheeler? Somebody had some fun. All right, let's go have some fun. Train Harriet. While she's still hungry. I think it's gonna work out in the long run. Milking later, not at first light because it's gonna be cold. Winter is coming on. We were gonna get this collar on her. You spot Harriet. Okay, don't let her over. I forgot to hole punch this the other day. That's the goal today. Hopefully she's hungry. The goal today is also check the fence after chores and tonight because Harriet's having a habit of knocking over the fences. It's one thing to kill Anita Bull. It's a disaster to have to kill Anita Heffer. Pregnant one too. Unlike He-Man who figured out how to put his horns in it and not get shocked even if it was on and stepping in the water and flipping the water. Is it? I'm sorry. It's got a couple more holes in it. What do you say? And look who walked out. I told Josiah to spot us. I don't know how to get it into their heads. Okay, she just walked right through because the fence is off. I hope you're still hungry. Tighten up the net. It's on. It's hitting. We test this thing twice a day. We got to be diligent. Basically until they go back to the pole barn. A few weeks to train her. Oh, that's for the piglets. I think he's rented a Home Depot truck. That'll do it. That's a determined person. They didn't say I don't have a truck. They rented one from Home Depot. Henry, get in. You're just in time. Thank you. Well, we kind of have to sort them. Now the question of catching them. I like your determination. You don't have a truck. You get a one from Home Depot. We've got two trucks and both of them are down. Okay, I like it even more. I have an idea. Pig panel over that gate. Put that gate in the corner by the door. I don't know why we don't remember. Stop. How we did this before. All right, we got our plan. It's working so far. The kids caught them while I was asking all your questions. I think y'all are in abundance plus too. Yeah, all I just dropped to you is in there. We have a pig course in there. But we refreshed you. There you go. They're really quite easy. Okay guys, this is gonna be really loud. You just grabbed and went. That's good. Just don't panic if the pig gets out. Especially if it's just one because the other one will want to come back. If they're both out, then panic a little. Pigs for everybody. And leave it to the kids to find it the easy way. I was about to take down this gate. I was about to zip tie it. I was about to put it over there. The kids just grabbed the cattle panel. Get the pigs in the corner. I let Joan and Josiah go in there and rest. So we're gonna take it easy today, right? I'm thinking y'all had a Sabbath. I don't think Josiah did anything. He didn't go to the horse show. Joan went and rode bikes. Oh, there's a bunch out up there too. There's two scoops. Let's go. I don't like how they're tearing up this pasture. Should we put, let's put on the list. Let's get them in the high tunnel this week. We'll get everybody here. It'll be easier for our farm center. I'm taking on the boys on our individual Mighty Man camp. Come on. Come on. Hey. Definitely molting. Come on. Come on. Come on. You can't herd chickens. Come on. I got your food. See, I hate that. They're tearing up our pasture. This has got to end. We've got to get them in the high tunnel. But to get them in the high tunnel, we need to harvest our tomatoes. We need to be ready to do something with the tomatoes. We're just exhausted. We got our individual Mighty Man camp this week. We've got appointment for my shoulder. I got one more acupuncture for my shoulder. I got the appointment. They got me an appointment with the surgeon. That doctor was not hopeful I was gonna heal. But we're just gonna show the surgeon what's up. All right, we're gonna just show the surgeon what's up. Look at this. I got you. I got you surgeon. Good job getting in Henry. Good job Henry. Get him. Get him in there Henry. Maybe his craziness is what we need. There you go. It worked. Wow, okay. I need to call you next time. I'm a little concerned. Our other pig people are not here. They're not confused with time change. They would be in here an hour early, right? It's 10 o'clock. Good job Gideon. Don't go too hard on your second rest day. Don't help me. All right, the pig people arrived. Okay, where are y'all coming from? Pig in South Carolina. Okay. Yep. And what are you gonna do with these pigs? Turn them into food. Six months later we're gonna be eating these guys. You got a pen at home or you got them in a net? We have a pen and we have a net too. So we can train them to the hot net. Are they trained to hot net already? They've been hitting it all morning. So now they know where it is. Okay, good. This is almost a minivan. If you ever put the pig in the back of your car, you might be a crazy pig person. We're a little crazy but we may not be that crazy. We got cattle panels and I had them on the top of the car. 16 footers. I just put a red towel on the back. Do it. Farm life. Pig's gone. Four pigs down. Saving one for food and one to replace. Beefcake. He's getting older. It's time to cull him. Lily's got a chicken soup going. Fat old lady hens it looks like. They're frozen. The boys decided to get in and play soccer. I think I'll join them. Mom and I just... I forgot you guys. I'm sorry. I forgot you. You guys have to believe me. We fed Mama Pig and... and we checked on Harriet. That fence is hitting at 6.5. If she breaks out, we've got big problems. Play? Yeah, what do you want me to play? Me and you versus Josiah. Half court. They got the best of the old man. I did get a few points. This evening. A little secret to a smoother day tomorrow. Go ahead and do some breakfast prep. Go ahead and do some breakfast prep now. Let's see how it goes tomorrow. Happy day.
