Homestead Barn Hop #153

I feel as if each time Monday rolls around, there's new and exciting news to share on the homestead front. This week, the highlight has been getting to know the pigs better and on top of that, purchasing a new ram to come and join Beatha Fonn permanently!Yes. I said Ram.Our ewe, Gladys, will be joining us in just a few weeks (as soon as she lambs) and we've decided to bring her beau along. So yes, that's more animals. More feed. More care. And more fun!What have you been up to on your homestead? Please share with us!Here's a few general guidelines for sharing:1. Please remember that the Homestead Barn Hop is meant to be a place to share homesteading related encouragement and inspiring ideas specifically related to homesteading. In an effort to keep our weekly round-up clutter free, links which are not specifically homestead related, and any promotions such as giveaways, contests, carnivals, etc, will be deleted in order to maintain the integrity of the Barn Hop.2. Please remember this is a family-friendly link up. Any pictures or posts linked to the hop which aren’t appropriate for our children to view or read will also be deleted immediately. We’re pretty conservative, so we ask that you use good judgment and err on the side of caution.3. Make sure that you link to your Barn Hop post, not your blog’s main page, so your guests won’t have any trouble finding your great tips.4. Please link back to the Homestead Barn Hop in the post that you share. Feel free to grab the banner at the top of this post to link back to us with.5. Occasionally there is a problem posting due to glitches in the internet or the Linky Tools. If you have difficulties posting and it does not show up immediately, please wait a little while and try re-posting (this helps avoid double posting). We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, be we do not have absolute control over the internet. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
