Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to Everyone!
2012 promises to be another exciting and productive year on the farm. Shed number 3 is complete (see pic attached of Rouven attaching the final cladding) and the paddock is ready for the arrival of my new dog "Solo" later this week. Then flock number 3 arrive on January 9th. There is also a pic of the new shed and the sexy new rollaway nesting boxes which should keep the eggs cleaner and improve the efficiency of the collecting and cleaning process.
Unfortunately my tractor has been written off as it took a journey by itself down the hill and crashed through three fences and into the bush! Most importantly no-one or any animals were injured.
400m of new fencing has been erected in the past week and it looks pretty bloody impressive to me! lol We've also installed some new nipple drinkers in the first two sheds which is a more efficient way of getting water to the birds.
The two pigs are massive now, possibly 80kgs! Next on the list of new animals will be some more piglets, some sheep and some cows. The grass has grown like crazy this summer so I need some help keeping to a manageable level.
Cheers,
Dan
