Here is our entry a picture of our two 600lb plus Berkshire sows sisters and their last litters this past fall. They both shared feeding all the baby's and weaned 16 in total. Berkshire pigs are a heritage breed prized for there tasty heavy marbled meat.

Wow, that's a lot of pigs! They were probably a handful to take care of. Good Job!

Here’s my entry, it’s my dog Toby! He is a character! He thinks he’s a guard dog, lol.

He looks like a guard dog that's ready to party! I always find it funny how the smallest dogs think they are huge like a great dane. Good Job!

Thanks for running this contest, here is my entry. I had 24 of these little guys running around last year. My wife got job in a another county so I had to sell them all. I'd like to get back into to raising them again one day, but right now I all I'm able to do is keep a few laying hens. Upvoted and resteemed.

Thanks for entering. We have been wanting to get some pigs for a number of years, but something always comes up. Hopefully this year or next year, we will be able to get some. Good Job!

This was my first time. Good luck with them. They're a challenge but well worth it. I used electric net fencing to rotate them on pasture. It worked great.

Okay, I will keep that in mind. Thanks!

I've got to enter this pic I took today for my 7 day photo challenge I participated in.

farmstead farmsteadsmith dog pet koodge

He really is an amazing dog who has kept me going through many ups and downs including my husband deploying, depression, moving from Germany back to Oregon, and daily he helps me get out bed. Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed with him, cause he's a great cuddler, but I know he's gotta pee, so out of bed we get! Haha. He is a beagle-pit mix and he is a caring guy. He is great with my chickens, and has proven to be an excellent farm dog by not killing anything. Haha. He's kept me going for over seven years now, and while he does annoy me sometimes with his barking at and chasing of the cat, or randomly stealing crap off the counter, I appreciate him every day.

This is a great story and photo! The beagles are probably my favorite type of dog, but the beagle in him may be why he likes to chase the cat :) Overall, this was a really good submission.

He's the "moderator" of the household. If I yell at the cat, Koodge is on it by running up to the cat and barking. He does mouth the cat, but hasn't bit him. Thank goodness. I think he's just trying to tell him what to do but there is a language barrier! Haha. Koodge hasn't ever been fond of young puppies, so I imagine the cat annoys him pretty good.
