Piggies in Pattern

Final Wednesday for the farm. Weather was cloudy and humid and the sun finally came out as I was leaving. We got a nice sudden downpour right as we were about to start cleaning the goat yard. Definitely made our decision as to whether we should hose it down easier lol.

And as I was walking in this morning they were walking Bo and Luke in harness along the paths. Bummer that they basically lost a year of training them in due to their hoof problems. Especially now that the American Cream's older age is starting to show with arthritis in their legs. They had to remove the boys from the parades at the state fair this year.
I also checked the wolf gazebo and was surprised to see the girls from North Dakota still on exhibit. I had read previously that they would be leaving by the 29th. I guess they're going on Friday now. Last time I'll probably be seeing a Mexican Wolf as they are gonna change the exhibit to hold Dholes, which is a type of Asian wild dog that looks like a red fox but is the about the size of a German Shepard. I hear they will be getting the animals in within the next month, but no idea when they will be on exhibit.
Apparently they are also getting in some Pika (!!!!) in October some time, and are considering the possibility of Springhaas. Basically name in animal that most people have never heard of and I'll be excited about it lol.
