I have several sows pregnant and its about time to separate them from the boars til next year. I don't breed in the winter because I don't go anywhere and have no means to sell pigs, unless I run an ad which usually brings less-than-ideal pig buyers IME.

Brody (Texel) is going up for sale soon, and a junior sow who barbered herself (I've had enough of that, thank you) so I can't even tell how her coat would have turned out. Brody has two sows pregnant so I can spare him. He has good curl but nothing else about him excites me, and my basic feeling about a pig is usually pretty accurate.

Of the Teddies, I have two junior boys I have to decide about. One is the panda-pig--I don't care for brokens and if his coat doesn't turn out terrific, he'll be going. Ditto the broken with the red roan patches. Yes, if there was a category for broken roans I could probably get up a decent entry, ugh. Well that's what you get when you want to do roans but the only decent pigs you can get ahold of are brokens.

On a positive note, I've done some pedigrees this past week, little by little. I still have to do weights and tag a few, and there's Web work waiting--my own or the stuff I do gratis. That's why it's waiting!

I did veggies all morning, and now it's off to do some housecleaning since outside work is shot.
