Girls gone wild...the porcine edition
This is what happens when you forget to chain a gate. And when I say "you", I mean "Matt". Because I think we all know I wasn't the one out there doing the pig chores.
So we sent the nearest hired hand out to take care of it. But Ollie-the-boar doesn't look very intimidated by Ollie-the-girl.
(And believe me, I'm going to hear it for calling her Ollie. Only Tim A. is allowed to call her Ollie.)
Sow 3 comes over to see what Ollie & Ollie are up to.
She doesn't look very intimdated, either.
This might be the pig version of flipping her the bird.
At this point I had to leave to pick up daughter #1. But despite how these pictures make it look, Olivia actually had all 3 sows back in the pen by the time Matt finished filling the water softener with salt and came out to help. I was quite impressed!

I love seeing young girls take charge and get the farm work done! Olivia looks like an old pro at pig driving.....

Farm girls are Awsome!!!!!
It's amazing what you find on the internet when you google, um... certain phrases...
But that's another story for another time. Regardless of how I ended up here, it was good to hear from SCF again!

Kris & Patti - I agree, I love it when my girls are farming :)
Paul - ha ha, you're going to get yourself in trouble :P
Just wanted to let you know that I love your blog. This post made me laugh out loud! I hope to have a small farm one day, but with my husband in medical residency we have to live close to the hospital, so the dream of having a home in the country is still many years away. So, I enjoy "virtual farming" through your blog! (Plus I don't get nearly as cold, wet, or dirty that way :)
Suzanne - Ollie's about 700 pounds, and the sows are around 550 pounds.
Elizabeth - thanks so much for stopping by :)
