Introducing, His Royal Highness, King Charles. He goes by, 'Chuck,' as in Chuck Roast. He's a little cutie! Angus and Holstein mix. He's all black, except for the white tip of his tail. He'll be grazing on grass for as long as the weather holds, then it's hay and sweet oats, Milk Bones, carrots and apples, warm beer and daily massages. Welcome to the farm, Your Highness! 🙂

Thanks for the info/pic! He is cute! Angus/Holstein is a popular mix.

The hogs on the regenerative farm got moved to “winter quarters” yesterday. It was quite the operation .... large hogs went from pasture to wooded lot (acorns ... yum!). The 3 remaining females from the litter born on Father’s Day (& now about 70 lbs), were moved from a barn lot to the wooded lot with the large hogs (they are low hogs on the totem pole - the formerly low hog is reveling in his new status & chasing them around). The two huge pregnant sows were moved to the “maternity” lot (formerly the ‘3 young females’ lot) at the barn. There are two boar hogs (young) ... I think they’re in separate “boy pens”. It takes a lot of patience to move hogs - if they think you want them to go somewhere, it’s not happening .... has to be THEIR idea. So .... tempting food treat, use panels to slowly funnel them towards where you want to go (in this case, a large horse trailer) & let them decide that in the trailer is indeed where they want to go, especially if there’s food involved.
