Day 11 Farming: Christmas Eve Thursday 12.24.2009

Drove around looking for a feed store open on Christmas eve. Settled on Del's. Picked up enough supplies to get us through the Holiday week including new fencing pliers. This time of year the valley is often very foggy in the morning. As I pulled into the farm the fog lifted for a beautiful sunny morning while I fed and watered the girls, and finished the fencing around kid pig's receiving corral. Gave the girls an extra half bale of alfalfa so they could have their own little Christmas party. I am having a real difficult time telling who is the dominant sow because they all are so bossy. I called it a day early to get ready for having the family over for the holiday.
