Our new Mini Dexters | Page 3 | Animals | Forums

so yesterday, I had to get them out of the barn, the pen isn't very pig and I really hate keeping them so cramped, I tried looking for a 5 foot gate to go across the doorway in the front that way they can have the whole barn, but they only make 4 and 6 foot gates, so today my buddy is going to stop by with his ram set and we are going to shoot some two by fours into the cement pad and build a partition wall down the middle and gate it off

so we started clearing out the jungle along the fence

we moved the tape up about the same level they had on the farm

I was going to run a separate fence charger, but I was looking at the pigs fence and the solar charge is only running 30 feet of electric tape, so I figured we would just piggy back off of the pigs charger, so I ran down to the farm store and grabbed a jumper

and let them loose

they quickly learned to respect the white tape, good thing they were trained on it at the farm

and my wife spent the afternoon with her buddies

we had to take his trailer back because we had lost part of the back gate on ours on the drive out there, so he let us use his

@groinkick goats!

they also had a pretty cool firepit made out of granite pieces

so today we are working on getting the barn organized and getting a source for hay

so we knocked out the gate yesterday, it was just to cramped for them 

we figured we would let them have the whole corner

so we proceeded to build a little stub wall

and drilled out for the gate pins

and mounted the gate and the hay rack

this little bucket worked out perfect for the space and water for them

much better

tip number 2, put a little radio in the barn, it helps keep them calm, they prefer one direction and death metal

got 50 bales of hay being delivered today,up in the loft they go

my wife is really starting to bond with them
