Escape!

Weaning time!  We thought everything was going well.  Until there seemed to be a lady always back in the gathering pen after we moved them to pasture 6.  We moved the extra ladies out and headed home.  By the time I came back to the ranch the next day there were about 9 ladies escaped and hanging out by their calves.  I guess they found a way to break out of pasture 6!  We just moved the herd back to pasture 5 so they can hang out by the calves, and not be in with them.  It all worked out, but it's a shame that they broke the fence!  The corner h brace is pretty messed up.  

Oh, and our piglets are named Bacon and Bits.  The kids love them so much.  They are more like puppies than pigs.  They love to get scratched and cuddle.  They will lay on the kids' feet.  It's pretty funny!  It will be interesting to see what happens when it's time to slaughter them :/
