Tragic happenings, and happy (half) endings.


26 July 2012 – 

Last night was not too great at about 3am we are woken up by these hysterical chicken shrieks, the mother hen with her 12 chicks decided to stay outside the chicken coop, somehow the cat got to her and in protecting the chicks she started flapping at the cat, she got her wing stuck in the fence and ripped it clean off the bone, its just hanging by the skin. You can see the bone etc. I feel so sorry for this little chicken!

About 20 mins later we hear the pig now squealing, and Cara was after the other pig.... Somehow he got out his pen again, so we locked him up. Thank goodness he got behind the hot tub, otherwise Cara would have gotten him.

Gambler!
We wake up and the chicken is still alive, that was truly a surprise. I spend the whole morning riding G, Getting him to jump slowly and he is really starting to think and do it slowly and properly. Alyson said it looked good! I’m pleased about that, so I took him for a trail ride with good music. J I got back to the ranch and didn’t feel like not riding so Aly and I went on another ride in one of the other fields. J So a happy morning dedicated to the horses!!

We finally herded the right cattle out of the grass and now we have the right cows on the grass -Bones, the skinny dairy cow, Shortie, the hamburger steer, and Greedy Greta, the cow that was still nursing when her mom had another baby. Yay!! After three days of herding!! LOL J

Mother chicken left the chicken coop and was looking really bad, so we ran around catching baby chicks and giving them back to her in the coop. We are thinking about giving the chicks to one of the other hens, but we will wait till she passes cause she should have died and she is still trying to be a mom so we are leaving her!

We went off to Jackson today to fetch Suzie the pig. We butchered her a couple of weeks ago and were just waiting for the different cuts. We brought home Suzie and filled the whole freezer!! LOL, 200 pounds of pork! Hehe, yeah...

All the White packs are Suzie
All the boxes are full too.

Bacon!!


BLT’s for dinner yum!!!Yeah, we totally ATE Suzie, gosh I am becoming worse about not being a squeamish person. Then to sort out the other little piggy, Pinky... Put the chickens away, play with Gbbers! J All in all a good day! The chicken is still alive so lets hope she's good.

There are always bits and bobs in between that I can never remember but never a dull moment at the BAR! ^^) Thinking about going to the Prime Rib night at the OC tomorrow J aaaand Beer Pong this weekend!! Hell yeah!! Hehe, this is going to be fun! Moved K – Lines again tonight, the field is getting there. J

Xxx Stay Excellent xxX

Tazzy!
