Hi, It's Thursday again, that means it's wool workshop day and the sun shines - wer've noticed that Thursdays are often sunny. Wool workshop went well, we tried out a new loom and did some spinning. We talked about selling what we've made - I think we'll have an Easter event.
A second pig, Cleo, has 8 babies. She's a bit stressed, so, apart from feeding her, we're leaving her in peace. She made a nest in the calf house, so the cattle can't come in for another week. We have 2 more expectant sows, I hope they are a bit more cooperative than the first 2 - they're still out in the field, pity we can't leave them there but it's a bit too cold for new piglets. The 2 pork pigs are going to the slaughter house on Monday, together with 2 highland bullocks, so there will be space to bring the other 2 sows in. I'm going to be swimming in meat! Fortunately the beef hangs for 3 weeks, which produces its great flavour, so I should have sold, or frozen the pork by then.
