FINALLY – BACK AT HOME!!! – Part 1

It was a long 13 days!

---

Often, depending on what your life consists of, it can be hard to take a break from your life. I really didn’t want to leave for almost two weeks, but we had a great reason too, so progressing on the homestead could wait.

Besides the work on the house site, driveway, and the spot for our shipping container that would have to wait, we had to leave our animals behind too. With brand new baby chicks, young piglets, and another sow almost ready to give birth, it was hard not to be here. Some friends were looking after the animals though, so they were in good hands.

Thankfully we made it home safe last night. The first spot to check was the pigs and buck rabbits down on the land.

HOME AT LAST – HOW ARE THE PIGS?

PHOTO RECAP

All five of our buck rabbits down on the land were still doing great in their new rabbit tractor. We wanted to provide them with a way to have constant access to fresh grasses and such, so I was working on a prototype rabbit tractor before we left for Wisconsin. Thankfully, it looks like it did the job!

Our boar and sow that we had together were still alive and well. At some point this one will probably get pregnant too. We had picked up three STEEM-powered pigs before @smailer bought us another one, so we have three large females and a large male. So far, the make has definitely impregnated two of the females.

Our pregnant sow was still pregnant. She looks so large, I am guessing that any day now we should have more piglets. We will be keeping an extra close eye on her. I actually thought that she might give birth while we were gone, but thankfully she has not yet.

---

Our wonderful sow that @smailer bought us still had all nine of her little piglets. I credit @mobile-joat for the success on that, as he gave me some great advice the day before we left, and I worked hard to follow it prior to leaving to make sure that they would be taken care of while we were gone. It was so great to see them all alive and well!

Stay tuned for Part 2 when I check on the rest of our animals at another location.

10 SBD CONTEST

Also, speaking of being back at home... I made four posts yesterday, all from different states. I tried to run a small contest for anyone who could name all four of the states that I posted from yesterday in order, but no one won yet. One user did get all the states, but no one has replied with the correct order yet, so I cannot award 10 SBD to a winner yet. If you would like to be the one to win, follow this link and try to reply with the correct four states in the right order.

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
