What's up in the barnyard (by Javan)

While I was out taking pictures of the flood I decided to take some pictures of our animals to post.

This is Steak, one of the bottle calves Grandpa bought for us, both of them now drink out of a bucket.

This is my best picture of Hamburger, the other cow from Grandpa, he has a totally black back and white on his legs.

This is McGuilicutty, Gilly for short, he is the oldest of our calves

Gilly again.

And here's Billy.

And Gilly and Billy together.

This is Silly Sally Sow, she was bred when we got her and then we had piglets. She is a Large Black that means LARGE!!! She is around belly button height on me. The large black breed does not get sun burn like the white ones and doesn’t need mud as much but we do put out a big tub of water for her in the summer time; another advantage of this breed is that they do very well on pasture. She is quite an adventure to feed in the morning she and her three piglets will grunt and squeal and push you around if you don’t feed them first.

One of the piglets

I was having fun taking pictures of her evil looking eye by lifting her ear up otherwise you cannot see it; because of this she will often stick her head way up in the air so she can see you.

In this picture you get a good look at one of the piglets their names are Sausage, Bacon, and our girl Myrtle. We hope she will be fertile Myrtle.

Here are our chickens, the rooster we recently got from John Rassi so we can hatch some chicks.

We have some videos that we would like to post but they’re long and we will have to figure out another way to post them.

Thanks Javan
