Bubba and Chunk

Bubba loved to get dirty!

FFF Photo a Day - Day 43

I stumbled upon this picture of Bubba today and thought I would share her story with you. 

Bubba and her sister Chunk were two pot belly pigs who we first met at the AMazeIn Corn - a local corn maze that featured a small petting zoo. Our middle son who was then around 9 or 10 years old fell in love with them, so naturally at the end of the season, we brought them home. Two cute, little pigs!

As you can see they grew into their names, filling out in various directions, reveling in Caleb's attention. Unlike other pigs that came and went on our farm, Bubba and Chunk stuck around from one season to the next. 

Caleb even bred them both as part of a 4-H project and learned many lessons about raising piglets - fun and not so fun. 

Meet Gaston

Day 12 - FFF Photo a Day


This is Gaston - our bull calf that was born this past July. He has turned into quite a fur ball and enjoys running around his mom in circles. 

Local folks may have seen him at the AMazeIn Corn in Ste. Adolphe where he hung out for a few months this summer. There he was known as 'Dexter' and enjoyed being spoiled by everyone who came to visit. 

A month ago he managed to get himself hopelessly stuck in the hay feeder and we had to cut him out with the angle grinder. We were pretty worried for a while but he bounced back with no lasting effect. 

For a beastie who is only 6 months old, he's had a eventful life!
