Life has not slowed down at all. We are staying as busy as ever! Friday night was the first day that it went below freezing. So then on Saturday morning, we had to go out and unfreeze all the animals' water. We aren't really looking forward to doing that all winter long. The weather has been pretty chilly here lately. It will be a new experience to farm during the winter. We made it through summer, which I thought was challenging, but now we have to make it through the winter. I'm guessing winter is more challenging than summer.
Yesterday we helped some friends of ours process 200 chickens. The overall count of chickens we have helped process this summer is 700. We really got some practice in! It's more fun at someone else's house with more people to help! So yesterday we had a lot of fun.
We moved our pigs to the pond to see if they would seal the pond up so it won't leak. We have a leak and we have read that pigs should fix the problem. So hopefully that will work!
Other than that. there is not much to report. We are just trying to keep up with school while keeping up with the animals!
