Thompson Valley Farm

At the end of a long work day, nothing makes me happier than arriving home and being greeted by the 4 legged family.  They have none of the foibles that humans do, and their drama is generally manageable.  Tonight I had to pick up feed on route, and was shocked that the price of pig feed had gone up $3.50 a bag in a week! Holy Toledo!  This is not this years corn, feed is being made from last years...jeez, it will make things infinitely more expensive.  And then the price of gas jumped from $1.23 to $1.33!
When I got home, Buster the bull had had enough of the burnt pasture, jumped the fence and began to "mow" the lawn.  End of a bad day, with more headache!
Spent time fixing fences, chasing bulls and then got sprayed by the hose when trying to water the pigs. Yes, I do love farming.
I pat myself on the head, reminding myself that this is a SHORT week. I will get to the weekend quickly.
So, to make myself feel better, I took pictures of the chicks, and Buster, just to compare how much they had grown.
