Our Sows (female pigs) Sugars and Daisy (the boys helped name them can you tell ;) both recently had piglets!!!

Most baby animals are pretty cute but these little black and spotted piglets were especially so!

I had been trying to get some good pictures of them to show you but they had been eluding my efforts. You see sows can be very protective of their young and lets just say that scheduling a photoshoot for my enjoyment was not high at all on their sow to-do list haha.

But every once in a while I am just in the right place at the right time! Walking through the pen one day the sows were off having breakfast when I came on a set of the piglets playing.

It was one of the cutest things I have seen on the farm in quite a while!!!

Shortly after the sow ran over and informed them not to play with humans and they marched off with her but I was pretty excited to get to catch them on video playing like that!

{Watch} Onto Fresh Pasture

As part of our regenerative grazing plan we are continually moving the cows, sheep, chickens...... onto fresh pasture. Some people imagine this would be quite the roundup to be constantly moving all of those animals. While it does take time, the animals also learn very very quickly that when we call it means fresh pasture is just ahead and they sure get excited about that. Often just a few calls and the cattle or sheep will just follow us into the fresh sward of pasture. One of my favorite parts of moving the cattle is just how excited they get. They are massive creatures and yet they jump and throw their heads around in excitement just like their young calves haha.

Sounds Of The Farm - The Laying Hens

One thing I love to do on the farm on sunny afternoons (when the chores are done and there is time to reflect a little) is to just go out and sit in the field with the animals. Listening to their unique sounds and quirky ways combined with the fresh air, gentle breeze and soft sunshine is some excellent relaxation at the end of a long day. I had the opportunity to do this with the hens the other day and I thought I would record it and share it with you. I think I will do a bit of a series on the different "sounds of the farm" and beginning with the hens. "Cluck, cluck" doesn't quite do justice to the sounds they make out on pasture. What do you think?
