Farm Sex

I don’t mean to be provocative with that heading but really poor Carlos the Tiny was a busy boy yesterday.  Lady Astor came into heat (I was advised by the vet not to give her a break as she would put on too much weight then it is harder to get them bred again – we saw this with Queenie) so my new breeding man came over and bred her with a straw containing Angus semen (I have a few too many milk cows at the moment). 

Carlos did his best to keep up (no pun intended other than the obvious one! )  and then Naomi came into heat and Carlos quite wore himself out Working the Field.  The man who bred Lady felt sure that Carlos was reaching Naomi. 

Chickens. It is so hot in their coop with this humidity that they come out every afternoon to wander about the fields.  

TonTon spends all day going bout the animals making sure they are all where they should be so he gets a bit upset when all the chickens are out. AND I forgot to lock them in last night so they are going to be out and about all day today as well. There are a good fifty or sixty of them too. Thirty of those are on the point of laying.

Molly is showing all the signs of being very close to farrowing so yesterday we completely set up the farrowing pen. I think within the next few days, so keep an eye out for breaking news. I hope all goes well for her. 

And I hope you have a lovely day. We are in deep mist this morning which makes for some nice photographs.  I hope.
