Believe it or not, we have friends in Baldwin City now, other than you! Dan's sister's ex-husband, and his wife, bought a house there! So we have 2 places to stop in your area. Hope you are enjoying your mission trip. It will be fun to hear about it - find something farm related so you can blog about it! :) Cynthia MaloneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-181538380369637388.post-86252641933512409452011-03-07T12:59:03.054-06:002011-03-07T12:59:03.054-06:00Hi Karen. I got your email but can't find it n...Hi Karen. I got your email but can't find it now, so I'm having to resort to commenting on your blog again. <br /><br />My interest in the hogs is consistent with the goals of the American Livestock Conservancy people. I want to help keep the breed alive, and I'm interested in them as a useful farm animal. I would plan on selling the piglets and using the culls for pork. These really seem like the IDEAL hobby farm hogs. I love the temperament I've read about, as well as the size.<br /><br />I also have Shetland Sheep. I plan to put up a website to promote the sheep and whatever other animals I might breed at any given point. I haven't done that yet. <br /><br />I'm not completely sure I'll get hogs right now, but I am very interested in them and am trying to find out where I can find them. I'm in Topeka, so your location is ideal for me. And you seem like a very conscientious farmer. I have no doubt your animals will be in great condition.<br /><br />One question - are they very stinky? I've never kept pigs of any type. How much pasture do you think they would need to keep the smell down? How is the smell when you keep them in? The animals we have now don't really put off much of an odor at all. Along with the sheep, we have a couple horses and a llama. Of course, there are three livestock guardian dogs. I guess their stuff doesn't stink because the paddock is large enough, and we don't even know where they poop ;)<br /><br />Also, do they need to be kept separate from other animals? We have chickens, and I imagine they'll need to be separate from those? (I guess chickens are another stinky animal, but they free range, thus no stink.)<br /><br />If I get hogs, it might be in a year. Really not firm on a time frame. In the midst of looking at moving, etc., so in flux and will need to have proper facilities at the new place (fencing, shed at minimum or a barn, etc.), but really interested. <br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Mary<br />rrksrealestate@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-181538380369637388.post-62684996781636577552011-03-04T21:28:15.146-06:002011-03-04T21:28:15.146-06:00Hi.

I'm a fan of Belted Galloways, and have painted them quite a few times over the years, but I've never seen a "white" Galloway. And the "half-belt" intrigues me, as well.<br /><br />There are some Highlanders nearby but I'm yet to paint them. I always come back to the "belties."<br /><br />By the way, I love the photo of the cat in the tree.

The other way to liven up butter is to let the cream "ripen" before churning.
