The annual pig butcher at our friends' place.
Not a lot of folks do this kind of thing anymore. It is economical and we sure have a good time though.
The guys butchered 17 pigs. Usually they are hung to cool overnight, but since the weather was pretty warm they put them on a trailer covered with snow.
In past years I'd be there all day wrapping meat, but since Chyann was sick I only went down to help wrap our meat. It's quite the assembly line.
Pork chops anyone?
More signs of spring! The rhubarb is making it's appearance.
We had a whopper of a storm on Sunday afternoon. Shasta got caught out in the hail for a bit. Even some tornado's 40 miles or so south of us.
After the big storm the guys did some target practicing with muzzle loader guns. Caden is very patiently waiting his turn.
Colton showing off for his girlie friend.... Jeez.. I wonder what's with the rolled up pants? New style? Really want a pair of capris?
Meanwhile Chyann brushes, trims and loves on the pups.
Hard to believe it was 80* on Sunday with all the wind that we had, both before and after the storm - sure fellt like North Dakota..

Wow! That's a lot of pig! We just would bring ours to a local butcher. I imagine that your way is a lot cheaper.
We've been having weird weather here also. It's all a part of spring I guess.
I need to email you about calf advice asap
