The Adventure Has Officially Begun....

This week was our week to bring both the cows and piggies home. And our adventure has now begun. We headed out in the truck and trailer on Wednesday morning. Aeryn was very excited as can be expected. After a little over four hours in the truck we made it back to the farm safely with all of the animals healthy and sound.

The girls were very happy to be unloaded off the trailer and to munch on some of the fresh green grass. The rain that we have been having lately has really made the grass beautiful . Rachel and Rose did not stray too far from their momma and it looks like Roseanna is going to be just fine in her position of "boss cow". Even Lola is treating her as sort of a mother cow. And I am okay with that. Because it means where ever we can get Roseanna to go, everyone else will follow pretty closely behind.

 Aeryn is really enjoying every minute that she spends with them. She loves to go in the field and sit with them. I stand back and watch. Also loving every minute. This is her project. I want her to be able to bond and do things on her own. It is okay if the animals do not trust me as much as they trust her in my opinion.

 We also brought home Sir Bacon Bottom (the black and white pig) and Delicious (the red pig). Here they are laying in the sun soaking up some rays. They are two of the friendliest, most adorable pigs I have ever seen. They come when you call them, and love to sit and be scratched behind the ears much like a dog. I do  not have much experience with pigs but I certainly think that Aeryn and AmberMae will enjoy these two. The biggest trial however, is going to be in the fall when it is time to turn these two cuties into bacon. Both girls assure me that they will have no problems with it. But we will see.
