e got our piggies today. Two of them have 'lop' ears. We went to pick up a total of 6 of them, but 2 went to Mary's house. One of these belongs to Amy and will be staying at our house. Mary got a boy and a girl, one has blue eyes.. and we apparently have three girls and only one boy. When we went to the farm where they raise hundreds of weaner pigs, my guy has been going there for so long, the guy's wife, just told me to hop into the pens and start grabbing the ones I wanted. So I did and handed them off to Mary, as she went along on the trip to go pick them up.

Picture Above: Our 4 weaner pigs still in the dog crate before being installed in their new home. 

Picture Above: My guy bringing one of Mary's pigs out of the dog crate to put into her barn. He is the one who taught me how cool pigs are. If you have never been around them for long, you wouldn't get it. These little porkers are about 6-8 weeks old. 

Tomorrow should be our last day for fencing with the barb wire and then we can put the cows in it. All of them except for "Daisy", (whom is being a nicer cow today) and staying at home here to learn to be a dairy cow and "Blossom", whom my "FIL" wants to call "Miracle", due to all the turmoil this poor calf had before her birth last February. I am so tired of fencing, but we have one last sheep pasture to do for now.
