A bunch of the market hogs are gilts and they are getting big and mature enough that they are starting to come into heat.

We have this prejudiced cultural image of the dumb Okie farmer. The reality is very much the opposite.

Imagining fully a post-dairy agricultural economy for New York State would require something along the lines of a book. It would make a great dissertation, actually. Obviously, I am not here going to set out to do any such thing. In this post, I would merely like to sketch out the idea, in an effort [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stonybrookfarm.wordpress.com&blog=3667179&post=1239&subd=stonybrookfarm&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our culture, there is a strong tension between those with book knowledge and those with practical knowledge. I believe that tension is overblown. Of course, books on practical subjects cannot tell you everything you need to know about the subject of the book, as no author can anticipate any given person&#8217;s real life practical [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stonybrookfarm.wordpress.com&blog=3667179&post=1246&subd=stonybrookfarm&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

All of the animals but one of the breeding flocks of sheep are super well protected from the wind and snow. That one breeding group could use another shelter, which I plan to drag into their paddock today.
