Silk's Spring Farm

Well, hello, Winter. It appears we have skipped autumn and moved straight from summer and 20 degrees to winter including full force winds and its cold... and the amount of rain... !!

The trampoline moved from the garden into the yard, and we've had two pig arks move fields. But the best part about all the rubbish weather? The pigs haven't escaped. They've slept all day. No phone calls to say they are out! And, nope, no videos of them on the trampoline!!

Currently sat in the house, listening to the wind and rain thinking - I wonder if those pig arks are going to move again...

Tomorrow is another day...

This week, I've seen lots of posts hating on Farmers. Most of these posts are about animals being frightened of farmers and having a horrible life. Bla bla bla. Most of these posts are rubbish because the animals aren't scared, they are just posting crap..

I realise some people may not eat meat, but you should not shame people who do. It's their choice.

Here, I post a video of animals who should not be in this field. They know that. But they still haven't run away from me.. in fact, she comes up to me and said 'oi oi captain, we are just having a bit of fun, and then we will head back'.

Great, I say. As long as you're back in your correct location before Mr S gets home, then all good....

Then when Mr S gets home and finds the holes you've made in the silage field, then I can say 'oh s**t, sorry, I didn't see them out... '

Obviously, if I had caught them red-handed, then I would have put them back 😉

Pop goes the weasel...

Oh no, sorry, not weasel. It's the rats. AKA pigs!

We seem to have a few 'rats' in the straw. It looks like the volcano is about to erupt....

One guess for what is causing the movement... one hint, it's not actual rats...

When you have got one batch of calves starting to be weaned, the only sensible option would be to get another batch?

The only thing is that Mr S got sent with a designated amount to spend, and he doubled it!! 🙈😯 doubled!!! 🤣🤣🤣 so this may be the last one for a little while. But let's be honest, Mr S seems to have his own plan!

Dead or alive?

These always scare me.. especially when you see the white of their eye.

But... BOOOOO of course I'm alive woman!!!!!

These 2 have been out and have been self helping to Carrots and grass and they've given themselves a little bit of belly ache (as you can see from their bum/poo marks!)
