Great news! My brother's angiogram came out just fine, and he is coming home. It is very difficult for a farmer to be out of commisssion at harvest time. Furthermore more although I like pigs and am used to them these particular pigs are not accustomed to me. They are in fact not becoming attached to me as time goes on. Well that's not quite true since one threatened to become "attached" to me this afternoon. In the hustle and bustle this morning someone apparently failed to hook a door properly and a sow and her litter had escaped from a pen in the farrowing house. No big deal, but my folks have a little terrier who is very protective and decided to "help out". This rather irritated the sow, but as soon as got the dog penned up I easily dealt with the sow. DH and I have not started harvest yet, but the combine is nearly ready to go. Sorry to go on about personal things just thought I would share the good news with everybody. Once again apologies to the VU group. I am sorry I couldn't make it last night. Bye for now, Gail Possum Hill Farm
