Hathaway Farm

Well, I did a few piggy checks through the night since Emma could have her piglets any time now. Today is day 112 of her pregnancy. Anytime after 110 days she could farrow. She is SOOOOOOOO big & it is obvious she finds it difficult to get into a comfortable position at this point. If you want to guess what day she’s gonna farrow & how many piglets you think she’ll have, go to www.hathawayfarm.com & send us an e-mail. We’ll let ya know when she has ‘em & how many she had! Byron thinks Tuesday……. 8 piglets. What do YOU think???

Well, a typical day on the farm so far…….. Woke up to no hot water in the shower! An element burned out in our hot water heater & tripped the breaker. One more thing to do today! We had 2 new little calves born late last night, a heifer & a bull. Moms & babies are doing fine. The watch continues in ernest on Emma the pig & when she will farrow (have her babies). She could have them anytime now. Today is day 111. Making a new cover for our water reservoir today. We discovered a little chip in the one we have now & we want to be sure to keep our water supply clean & safe so wanted to get it done right away. The sheep got sheared the other day & I’m still getting use to seeing them shorn! When I figure out how to add pics & video to this blogging thing, I will!
