November’s not over yet and we’ve had almost 3 times our November average rainfall and 50% more than our previous November high. Which means it’s wet, very wet. The fields the sheep are on are OK as the ground was so dry.

It’s a different story for the pigs though as they’d turned the ground over and with the rain on it it’s like slurry. The good news is that it’s only a few inches deep, although I’m not sure James would agree. We had a night away from the small holding and James kindly offered to feed the pigs for us. I’m not sure he’ll offer ever again!

We just weaned the latest batch of piglets onto fresh grass, how long the grass will last who knows probably only a few weeks.
