Description
This is not our happiest coopcast... we have been struggling with endless rains this year and it shows in this episode. We talk about the weaning process of the piglets as well as catching some of them for selling as growers. We do share some good "how to" ideas / lessons regarding moving and catching piglets. But mostly - we use the coopcast as a chance to vent our frustrations with how difficult the weather has made things. We avoid talk about the gardens as things are just not looking good.
In our Ruminations segment we talk about knowhing when to say when - when have you taken on too much and when does burn out kill the joy of farming.
WARNING: This episode may be a bit of a downer.
