Today the geese, goats, cows, and pigs are dining on some serious organic grub: hydroponic butter lettuce, broccoli, romaine, carrots, peas, and multi-greens all courtesy of a generous big box retailer’s waste stream. What a feeding frenzy.
For the first time, the young pigs met the cows in the same pasture. The pigs thought the cows were something to eat until the cow made the pig fly by throwing it with her head. I wish had caught that move on video.
Every few days I move the cows and goats to a rested pasture at Busted Bucket Farm. In 2 days, they will go to another area.
Farming is sometimes very unpleasant. Sometimes an animal dies unexpectedly. I had to get out the backhoe to bury a friend’s cow. Luckily it was not August.
