Updates From the Farm

It's been a while since I've blogged. It seems like this time of year is crazy busy.....especially when my husband is gone. Between the feeding, the mowing, the fence repair, the spraying weeds, the hay hauling (and this was just in the past two weeks while he was gone!) it leaves little time for sitting down at the computer.
But, he will be home tonight! (Insert happy dance!)
So, I thought that, before I go outside and mow the yard, I'd give a quick update on a few things I blogged about a while back.
1. Buddy, the baby bull, is doing GREAT! He's no longer being supplemented with a bottle. He's been with his mom, full time, for almost three months and is fat and happy!
2. The potatoes that I planted in the burlap bags are NOT happy. In fact, they look pretty pitiful. I won't be trying that again (but I did plant a straw bale garden, which I failed to blog about, and it is thriving! That'll have to be the subject of my next blog!)
3. The new Charolais bull that I bought is enjoying his harem of Angus cows. He's been in the pasture with them since May 1st. He gets to have his fun until August 1st, then he's back in the pen.
4. And last, but not least, Bumpy the pot-bellied pig is spoiled rotten and sweet as ever!
