Sheep dogs or sheep pigs

Pigs have been in big field due to their pen being flooded. Today I found one of my pigs rounding up the sheep. Not sure what her plans were when she rounded them up. 

Pigs back in a new dry pen happily making themselves comfy. Near miss for me the tripped in the mud. The title of the blog could have been a mud facial!  

Flooding

Pigs and chickens at risk. Pigs running big field as their pen too flooded and need to sort. The pigs fine running big field. On welfare check this evening they came to greet and stood in line for a stroke. Chickens floorboards used to cover the wet ground from latest storms and avoid foot rot. 

Willow weaving

Today I did a spot of willow weaving two rings for Xmas. 

And I attempted an angel only 6foot tall. 

Angel not finished but might make a good garden feature for peas to grow up. 

War against slugs

The war against slugs has began. I have sent in my army of Nemotodes let battle commence!!
My winter veg seedlings is growing nicely in the worm castings in the polytunnel. very little weeds thankfully. Hopefully after the army do there work very little slugs.

War against blackberries taking over veg patch continues on going saga but gets easier each year. Plans for more raised beds in my head. By next spring will all be in place. Fingers and toes crossed.

Lambs are all double tagged approx 3 months before they legally have to be so all good. Question is are the ewes pregnant from the weedyish looking ram you ever did see. He would need step ladders and scaffolding!! If not I think I may have a plan!

Sheep and lambs all doing well. Pigs are funny they can hear me feed the chickens in the morning and become very vocal. I think they are wondering why the chickens get fed before them. The baby chicks doing well still in the nursery as they are not big enough to go in main pen as they can get through the wire fence and that would be far too tempting for the kittens!
