This is a happy time of year for hubby and our finances but somewhat of a sad time for me. In the spring we had forty + babies born and now they weigh between 425# and 500# and it’s marketing season. We’re delaying it for a couple weeks because a few have been plagued with “pinkeye” and they are recovering. I wanted to share some of their pictures before they leave.
They’ve put on about 300 – 400 pounds since they were born and are grazing along side their moms now. Most will only nurse a couple times a day at their present weight and they’re first to come to the feed troughs which make it easier on them when they leave their mom behind.
You have a lovely looking farm .. Hi I am cecilia, i have a tiny little farm miles away in Illinois and have popped over from Lynda’s pages. Have a lovely day.. c

Glad you dropped by. I have a friend that is originally from Illinois and she goes home a couple times a year to see her grandma who turned 101 this year. Some of her children still live in Illinois. I love Linda’s blog and look forward to her daily stories. I don’t post everyday, only when something is going on that I haven’t blogged about in a while. Getting ready to do some crafting and start another quilt.
