So I look out the window friday evening about an hour or so before dark and what do I see 3 evil pigs right here by the house *stealing the chicken feed). So now they are in the old pen and being less trouble, maybe the goats were putting them up to it in the other pasture?Misty meadow farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14240185437046981705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826135746808524384.post-42965375854329269682009-12-30T22:56:00.000-08:002009-12-30T22:56:26.644-08:00Well one day of piggys not behaving badlyWell made it through the day and the little stinkers stayed where they are supposed to. Going to have to get a steel can to keep feed in was looking at the plastic one and they ate holes in it trying to get the feed out then gave up and crushed it till the lid popped off.

They decided to go visit the horse we have boarding on the place finally had to just leave them be and wait for them to gt board so they went back where they belong. I am starting to think they are out to make up for how little trouble the last pair were by being as much trouble as thye know how to be. So I figure the next 3-31/2 months should be a real blast.Misty meadow farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14240185437046981705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826135746808524384.post-54149502962434738882009-12-16T23:33:00.001-08:002009-12-16T23:34:47.387-08:00one tired dog<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO4kmVABz34OD_eV2vcxHopQEsA-Q14Jyr36ZPQJ2O5QjUyr6Y_IpgOw39J9m7tfhi67RIYuGywqRueReDY9ZycutTZPlTGVkRGJ0iQ-IL3OgZav6ps0uv5P2ZInbz2RFrotJwBnxt5_aJ/s1600-h/Image0016.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO4kmVABz34OD_eV2vcxHopQEsA-Q14Jyr36ZPQJ2O5QjUyr6Y_IpgOw39J9m7tfhi67RIYuGywqRueReDY9ZycutTZPlTGVkRGJ0iQ-IL3OgZav6ps0uv5P2ZInbz2RFrotJwBnxt5_aJ/s320/Image0016.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416105225952646530" border="0" /></a><br />Took this today of my dog/buddy duddly he was sacked out after a busy afternoon running around the farm.Misty meadow farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14240185437046981705noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826135746808524384.post-75133877812874265872009-12-16T23:26:00.000-08:002009-12-16T23:32:46.501-08:00feed can raid<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8FrGk9z5nmHtr6uQN2GMfmDwE5oPYKmgaQSBUgJx1zlBFvyDtL2NCj2UnqnDBsgItqpNsuCo2jBvAGPc1faFqRLEkBPc5Xlzraunsklovo3N4NelyRWMovKTOr4ydqH5p2HNa7FIrCEHh/s1600-h/Image0017.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8FrGk9z5nmHtr6uQN2GMfmDwE5oPYKmgaQSBUgJx1zlBFvyDtL2NCj2UnqnDBsgItqpNsuCo2jBvAGPc1faFqRLEkBPc5Xlzraunsklovo3N4NelyRWMovKTOr4ydqH5p2HNa7FIrCEHh/s320/Image0017.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416104101554446962" border="0" /></a><br />Very hungry mice/rat went out to feed yesterday and found proof that our cold snap had been hard for all the animals.

Had to go and re work some fencing because of it. Also had an old camping trailer I was stripping to make into a flat bed. Had taken most of the siding off but still had the roof to go. Well this morning it looked like a bomb had gone off in side it, everything but the back end wall was removed and shredded. Also had an alder tree about 18" at the base snap and come down along the driveway. Thank goodness not across as that would have taken out our power line.<br />We are hoping it stops by morning as tomorrow is goat tackling and hoof trimming. Poor Tasha has an on going case of hoof scald we have had it nearly cleared up several times but then it comes backMisty meadow farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14240185437046981705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826135746808524384.post-35471599038597723172009-10-21T08:54:00.001-07:002009-10-21T08:56:57.933-07:00Fall tillingWell got most of my tilling done except for a final till of next years garden space and where I hope to build a greenhouse this spring as well.

We were ordering with friends so neither had to buy 25. well long story short all was well till the wife got to looking and ordered 25 Bantums who came in a mixed set (just hope they are not all boys). So with the ones I ordered we got 38 of the little puff balls.Misty meadow farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14240185437046981705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826135746808524384.post-66568385900631811222009-07-13T22:10:00.000-07:002009-07-13T22:20:02.460-07:00Busy BusyBeen fairly busy of late and not keeping up here. Couple of weeks ago we got the daughter her first lamb she is a registered Shetland about 3 months old and still tiny. The goat boys continue to grow both in size and silliness. Ramses on a regular basis keeps sticking his head through the fence which is great until he trys to pull it back and his horns won't let him.<br />My current unplanned project has been fixing the wiring in the shop (scary stuff). came home from school 3 weeks ago and our power pole was laying on the ground. Got that fixed with a new pole and all that goes on the pole for around $3500. When the state inspector came out he went and peeked in the shop and left me a list of corrections to make. As I have been making those I keep finding other scary things I just cannot let go. I am fairly suprised the shop never burned down due to an electrical fire.<br />Hopefully I can keep up here on the blog as the summer goes on.Misty meadow farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14240185437046981705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826135746808524384.post-6344702156328605472009-06-13T10:50:00.000-07:002009-06-13T10:54:55.690-07:00Never see this living in the city<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVyA55tH3jEIXfypC9F9OaXrWnfhIjU2b3F9Rib4Noc4fpSFtFr0q0ZyDdQhBC7ER8D8yskNYs_H3bgZaNWmuJUkWeIGz-tn8WBhDNpLo9Kz12gHc5D3ZEq4_N58QVyt-6gnt2opg-1UnC/s1600-h/chiackens.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 310px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVyA55tH3jEIXfypC9F9OaXrWnfhIjU2b3F9Rib4Noc4fpSFtFr0q0ZyDdQhBC7ER8D8yskNYs_H3bgZaNWmuJUkWeIGz-tn8WBhDNpLo9Kz12gHc5D3ZEq4_N58QVyt-6gnt2opg-1UnC/s320/chiackens.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346871471679022066" border="0" /></a><br />`Now how likely are you to wake up and find chickens waiting at the door first thing in the morning. Not very if you live any where but in the country. At least if you live in the USA any way,ever since the weasel incident they are living on our large deck and sometimes show up here.Misty meadow farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14240185437046981705noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826135746808524384.post-83188039345625405802009-05-28T18:53:00.000-07:002009-05-28T18:59:26.845-07:00Shear madnessWell Monday was shearing day we had 3 sheep and 3 goats buzzed and hoofs rimed on all of them. Luckily Our shearer brought his dog with because we had one sheep (Eleanor) who we could not get in. Zander's Dog was aces at getting her to go where she neede to be so he could catch her. You should have heard both the boy goats they were crying so much you would think we were killing them. I will try and post some pics Friday of the short haired crew.Misty meadow farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14240185437046981705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826135746808524384.post-2753478700705269232009-05-23T20:30:00.000-07:002009-05-23T20:33:51.110-07:00Yard work beginsWell finally got the riding mower back from the repair shop man was that pricey. But good timing since the Fergie is having carb issues at the moment. Cannot mow for nearly as long as I could before barely got 1/4 of what I needed done and had to quit. Probably for the best since I found a piece of steel that bent one blade fairly good and now have to buy a new set.<br />The joys of spring I think.Misty meadow farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14240185437046981705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826135746808524384.post-74035108376456118522009-05-19T14:00:00.000-07:002009-05-19T14:06:42.337-07:00Goats and RoostersHappy happy<br />Had to tackle mama goat this afternoon and trim her hooves really heavy. it have been so wet here that she has a first class case of hoof root going. So we got her all trimmed up and have to go by the feed store and grab some more antifungal treatment to dose her hooves with. Main cause has been a very wet winter and spring so some areas have yet to dy out much at all. As a result I am going to have to gravel the whole corral this summer to build it up against further wet next season.<br /><br />Today we took in a rooster that one of Colette's coworkers got this year. He is a very young Bard Rock and hopefully him and Yuri our other rooster will get along okay.Misty meadow farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14240185437046981705noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826135746808524384.post-85805662411863150812009-05-18T06:41:00.000-07:002009-05-18T06:45:00.493-07:00Horses, no horses, horsesWell we were boarding a few horses for someone and last week they moved to Colorado and took them with.
