Since moving back to the states we have added to the farm...

We will be moving from Florida where my husband is stationed back to the farm.  My husband's dream is finally coming true.  Since the move is coming up quickly we have started adding more animals to the farm.  There will be pictures soon but until we are there i'll be posting just pictures from the internet to give you an idea of what we chose for our farm.  

Thanks for looking.

The Red Wattle is a heritage pig breed that we have decided to have on the farm.  They are very intelligent animal as well as very friendly.  The meat is supposed to have really good bacon and ham cuts so we're really looking forward to having our family survive off our own farm.  Here's some reading on the Red Wattle: http://www.slowfoodusa.org/ark-item/red-wattle-hog

Chickens...

We went with a couple breeds of chickens to see which we preferred.  The first one we got was a straight run of the Splash Cochin.  I'm very excited about this breed of chicken.  Not only are they beautiful i'm excited to see the difference in the birds within the breed.

The next breed was still a Cochin but we got the Silver Laced Cochin.  We bought a straight run of these also.
