    Give your pigs more time. Most wildlife likes warmer weather. Like old sane goes, spring time is here, wildlife mating season is here. Like the bird and the bees don't like to make babies in the cold. Maybe ? these pigs are particlar of mating in cold weather ???? 1

    I simply love watching the two of you working together so compatibly to take care of all the livestock. Even in cold, rainy weather, everything on your farm seems neat, orderly and organized -- a product of many years of trial and error to where you have refined every aspect of the operation. The transformation of the cattle barn was a brilliant idea. Not having to move the large round bales long distances to another structure has to be more efficient. This was a very peaceful video to begin my Sunday morning.
