Bacon Ham and Sausage

Getting ready for the winter, just stored up fresh pork, ham and bacon are in the smoker.  Just got our first feedback - the sausage was amazing.  Thanks so much to the Village Smokehouse in Rough and Ready for the smoking, amazing flavoring, curing and cutting - fabulous job.  Miss talking to the piggers tho, they were fun to watch each day.  The cows and horses are loving their shares of the fodder.

Speaking of fodder, we've had the trailer online since 8Jul, tried 2 bags of different seed, really dirty.  Had 3 bags of seed that got a little wet.  We've fixed our flooding problems by installing a huge filter at the well head.  The trailer floor has dried nicely, and finally we are out of seed that got wet.  It was consistently inconsistent.  The seed purchased from Barn 71 in Marysville was the worst ever, it hasn't produced anything, I will try to plant the second bag in the ground or try to use as feed.  We're putting in trays with good seed now, but won't have results for another 5 days or so.  We'll keep you posted.

Meantime - we're having a baby, our cow is close to delivering, I hope, I hope.  She's been in the pen since Saturday with some of the signs but no birthing yet.  My biggest concern is eating, she's been off her food and has not eaten sufficient in 3 days now.
