We are way behind in posting so here is our effort on trying to catch up. Near the end of the week last week we bought our hogs for the year. They are approximately 45-70 lbs and we have five of them. We will finish them out naturally and have them butchered in the fall. By today's standards they will be ready for butcher long before then but we use them to help clean up the farm in the fall. They make great tillers and fertilizer applicators on a garden.
We also incubated about 40 eggs from our laying hens and it just so happens that 31 of those incubated eggs hatched starting the day we brought the hogs home. This is a new experience for us and was rather interesting. D-3 did most of the work with this project and said they would hatch in approximately 21 days after starting incubation. He was exactly correct, 21 days after incubation started they did hatch.
Next up with be about our trip to Illinois for Liberty Day.
