And so to the pork!

Here is a sample of our first meal from the pork that had previously been running around in the back paddock: a beautifully cooked pork chop...yummy scrummy!

So the freezer is absolutely packed to the max and we will be right for meat for quite a long time.

The next batches are continuing to be prepared, with the cattle being grazed in the big paddock now, and hay supplementing their grass.  Brian is a pro now at shifting a break and the cattle all trot over to see what he is up to and where he is going to let them go next.

The two new pigs, both pink this time (as Brent couldn't catch the two-tone one!) are grazing in the back paddock; the two hens are still laying (as long as we keep them locked in until the afternoon otherwise goodness knows where they lay!) and Bess is being Bess (bouncy, messy, and loveable).
