October is going well, after a week of cold/ flu sickness everyone is up and back to normal. We have been cutting and splitting more firewood, we are actively using the wood stove nearly 24/7. Below is a view of cows in pasture during fall color.
The hogs are doing very well, growing well. Below is a photo me building their new hog house which is on skids so it can be pulled by a tractor to rotation graze.
Here is a photo of the new house in the pig pen (1/2 of our garden) where the pigs are harvesting the garden leftovers. And turning the soil. Below Jay watching his pigs (they're names are "Bacon"- that what he calls them).
Here is one of the calves which are being weaned in the barn and is currently for sale.
The dates are set! Pigs are to go: 5 on February 25 and 4 on March 3. I will be contacting buyers soon. We will need to get paperwork completed. Thanks to all, there is a waiting list for pork and pigs in next batch, get your name on it today.

The Jeffries family has a great blog that I regularly follow. They raise pastured, naturally grown pork and sell locally in Vermont. Please follow this link to check out their Blog: http://sugarmtnfarm.com/blog/ .. As you may know we too raise pork and are striving for pastured, naturally and humanely raised also. In the near future I will be posting links to other blogs and sites that participate and promote local agriculture.
