These are a few photos of our newest 2 sets of twins - Opals twins (88%, 1 1/2 days old) & Sasha's twins (Fullbloods, 1 day old). These aren't the best photos since they were running around the garage when I was taking them. Will get some better photos when I can get them outside in a few days.

Babies keep coming!
We had 2 more sets of twins born - doe/buck twins last night & twin does this morning. Jerry is loving having 3 does & 3 sets of twins in his garage. :) 1st of the twins last night was breech- but everyone is doing well today. Hope to get photos tomorrow & will post them. We get about a 2 week break before our March does start kidding. Also hoping our hog has her piglets in March.

Roosters Everywhere!!
We're overrun with roosters lately. The majority of eggs we hatched this year were rooster - go figure. :) We're hoping to find new homes for a few of them. Below are just a few pictures.

Newest additions - 4H hogs 2010
Danielle got her 4H project hogs today - 1 from the Horsleys at Land of Promise Farm & 1 club hog as a backup. We had forgotten how small they start out after having Barb (1 of her hogs from last year that is now about 450 pounds). Thanks to the Van Holtens for picking up the club hogs for all the kids.

Barb - last year's baby
We knew Barb had gotten big - but we didn't realize just how big until we picked up Danielle's new market hog for this year's 4H show.
