It's been a busy morning! Frank, Julie and Garth are away at the market, so when we noticed that the pigs had got into each others pens and were fighting, we turned to 13 yr old Kathleen to save the day!
The electric fence was broken in 3 places, and we were wading through the knee-deep mud herding pigs and trying to mend the fence.
Kathleen was great, using a shovel to singlehandedly move the mischievous young boar back into his own pen. They're scary! I didn't want to go in there!
After the pigs were back and the fence was mended, we found 3 baby goats that needed fed!
All seems well now, let's hope for a quieter afternoon...
Mum here. Thinking of you moving on from the farm today and thinking that you have had a great time with this lovely family, learnt lots and had fun. Your great blog is a fantastic record of your adventures and we are loving reading it! Looking forward to next phase almost as much as you! xxxx
