Built a new feeder for the piggies

Well, the babies are not really babies any more and are starting to make messes with their feed tubs.  So I took some of the scraps from the barn doors and garage and built a nice heavy feed trough to put their ground hay into.  It weighs about 75lbs and is made of mostly oak.  I also made it with smooth sides so they cannot flip with their nose and dump it.  We are considering putting a hopper box on top.  That way we can fill it up and it will keep feed in the trough so they constantly have something to eat. 


 Here is a quick pic of one of the meals my wife cooked over new years weekend.  She marinated some chicken wings and cooked them up.  The other thing you see there is calamari, aka. fried squid.  She powdered them with some kind of curry powder mix.  Very very good.  I never would have though of eating something like that as a child but my kids ate it right up!


I haven't had time to get any good pics lately due to snow and work.  Hoping to get some this weekend.  Snow makes for a nice backdrop and we have got a few inches of it out there again!

Well, off to take a nap before getting up at 1:30 am to go plow and salt lots!
