August News
August, how peculiar you are!
We are in awe at the hottest (?) month of the year! We have had several inches of rain, cool nights and beautiful, cloudy skies. What a blessing from above.
Our Large Black gilt, Daisy, had her first litter of pigs August 3. (That was also Andy's and my 17th wedding anniversary. What a gift!! ) She had 7 pigs, one died at birth. There are 5 boars and 1 gilt. We have been amazed at her. She is a terrific mother and they are already on pasture. Check out the pictures in the photo gallery. They are so cute, I am using one of the pictures for some new business cards!
August is the month we are waiting. Waiting for the harvest. We will harvest the lambs, pigs, and 2 beeves (for ground beef) in September. I still do not have dates yet as to when I will return to the market. We are looking at the middle of September, tentatively.
Thanks to those of you who sent recipes. They are in the recipes section awaiting your trials! If any of you have a favored recipe you would like to share, send it on! Also check out the new site we really enjoy, Grassfed Recipes. It is on our Links We Like page.
Blessings to you and yours, Tracy
