Our red wattle gilts gave birth to their first set of piglets on the same day, and same time. We have piglets everywhere. Both sows gave birth about the same time and did a good job. Tons of piglet pics to go around. Let's see how they are doing. Here on Blackacre Ranch we are building a bison ranch from scratch in East Texas. We have started ranching bison (i.e. buffalo) and will progress into other animals as the ranch grows. We are converting an old rundown church camp into a first generation Texas farm...profitable ranch that is. We are a family with 6 kids. Our goals are to homestead the property, grow healthy food, and build good character along the way. We are new to homesteading and don't know much about it, but we are willing to share our struggles and journey as we learn how to homestead together. Think of this as homesteading for beginners where we are the beginners.

Our red wattle pigs are close to farrowing. Time to build out the hog pens and build some diy pig shelters since our farrowing barn fell down. These sows are almost there.

Our farrowing barn project is halted. The piglets will come too soon and we have to adjust what we do to prepare for them. Our pig sows are holding out so far but I don't know how long they will last before the ranch sees new piglets arriving in Hogwarts.

The bison played around in the water trough and made a mess of it. Our day at the ranch became upside down when plumbing in the water trough broke. We fixed the PVC plumbing in the trough and got the bison taken care of. We worked on replacing the thermostat in our 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis and drained water from taillights in our 2015 Ford F150 while we waited for the trough to fill.

Time to check in with the bison we let loose the other day and see if the bison herd destroyed the ranch. The bison got into some trouble in a few areas but did manage to trim the grass for us.
