February was clearing more land & eliminating the boars who are claiming it.. added another "rescue" lamb via a friend.. built a new hen house for our chickens too!!!
A huge project this year is clearing land in the back for more sheep pasture... which currently has a herd of 15 wild boars claiming it.... so we have been trapping them and then smoking their hams & making sausage!!! 15 pounds of delicious beer Bratwurst was the latest!!
A local vet assistant rescued an orphan lamb & bottle fed it, then asked us if we could adopt him into our flock... our new ram (all white in the center) is up to eating grass & is now 27 pounds... we get to watch 11 lambs race, jump & play every morning & evening... good laughs.
Our initial livestock shelters were hastily set up while we built the Hacienda... this year the critters are getting better, permanent homes... the "Villa" is mostly finished for the hens to lay eggs - "high & dry" year round.
