I saw some post today animal photography contest and decided to make a post on this topic myself.
I took these photos about ten years ago. We spent many days on the farm and I want to share some of that experience with you.
Pigs are very curious and smart animals but also clean. If they live outdoors and have enough space of course. On farms where economics is on the first place is not so.
While their mums grazing on pasture lambs patiently waiting for the milk.
Two minutes and the bucket was empty.
It's a nap time.
That's how a permanent holiday looks like. Until one day the butcher comes for a visit.
Have a great day, my friends.
Thank you for posting @oldtimer.
Beautiful photographs of farm life.
A day out for Steemians at the farm......lovely.
All the best to you and yours. Cheers.
Thanks for stopping by.
nice pigs :D
Amazing how much freedom they can enjoy. I believe that butcher is very happy to by the quality of the meat. This looks like paradise.
What cute little animals)

I love goat's little kids. looking so beautiful photo @oldtimer
i am a crazy book lover and since i was a child i keep on reading..there was a translation i read in my school days..the story was written by Enid Blyton (a famous British writer) the story is about a family spending a vacation at a farm house..since then i had a dream popping inside me to spend a vacation in a farm house..but yet i could not make it come true..but someday i will make it happen..i too want to get the feeling of living in a farm..when i read posts about farms i feel like i am living in there..i get to feel that feeling thanks to you people..thank you for sharing your experiences with us..i live in them and make them mine :)
I read all of the Adventure Series by Enid Blyton when I was a child! Love her books!
wow...hear some beautiful animal...and your post is uncommon...i like it...you will running create this type posting....i waiting for your next post..
Lol! Wow, ten years ago? I bet, those pigs must be dead by now. (winks)
Life of the pig is very short. Bad for pig, good for us. That's life, my friend.
It's not a lie bro
How I wish I could live such a life ,,, I envy you
I see a forest there, were ticks a problem?
Not with piss and sheep.
Postings about animals that attract photography
Hey they had it pretty good. Come to think about it, we all meet the butcher in the end....
how to keep good animals
and fit time to eat, drink and rest
can be for motivation for other breeders in the world
I love the farm animals.
It reminds me of my grandma whom I helped feeding the pigs.
These are great pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Oh. They are funny and happy life. These pigs seem to not realize what awaits them ahead. Lol. Considered to be dirty pigs. We call the sloppy and unkempt man - pig. But as far as I know, pigs are one of the most cleanly animals. They never spoil the place where they eat and sleep. And they love to swim.
Nice series and it is a shame when people are saying dirty as pig as they are smart and clean animals. And for those who say so, lets put you in a small cage with another 10 guys and not let you out for a month. We'll see how clean you'll come out then :)
Hilarious in the end 'the butcher comes to visit' the life of animal husbandry is really nice because it makes you feel animals are really communicable like fellow humans. Experience from the fact that my family got a poultry so i have an idea how it seem as. Nice pic capture and little experience of how the lamb and pig history is like. But i have a question, between cow,sheep and goat milk which you think is more nutritious? A friend of mine that studied agricultural and science mangement says, goat. Don you concur with that?
The most nutritious is from sheep, the healthiest from goats. It's not so simple to explain. I don't have time to go deeper. Sorry.
Its no problem but the most important thing is that you have given me a very vital hint to express myself when u meet up my friend that studied agricultural science. Thanks alot and i appreciate your upvotes on my personal post. 🖒🖒🖒
good job friend @oldtimer
I wanted to rear a lamb when I was a child.I can remember that I was used to sing "marry had a little lamb" song putting my name instead of marry.But here we do not have lamb.After seeing these clicks I just remembered about my super crazy childhood
-cheers-
Great photographs! I like the little lambs and to see the pigs chilling in the fields!
Beautiful my friend
I think I'd rather have permanent vacation with a butcher visit than years of rat race. Quality before quantity.
Rat race can be tough. I hope you'll jump off the hamster wheel soon.
I like the lamb feeder, its ingenious.
Until one day the butcher comes to visit hehe, good way to end the post :O)
I love pigs. Who else loves pigs?
Who doesn't?
Lepe slike iz prirode. Sloboda uvek rađa lepotu.
Ne želim da me grize savest posle ovog posta svaki put kad pomislim na praseće ili jagnjeće pečenje.
That's how they raise us. We can't help ourselves.
It is really amazing how intelligent and clean pigs really are. We are lucky that we have a local farm that raises their pigs on grass and are free to roam. The food from this type of well treated animal also seems to taste better and to know they have had a proper life seems fair, in the scheme of the food chain of life. The cruelty and sadness of corporate pig farming is wretched. Sometimes it amazes me how cruel the world can be. These are lovely photos of sweet, happy, well cared for animals. I Love it.
Nice sober words. Thanks.
Sir amazing clicks, your post always valuable to me, keep sharing and keep in touch.
Pigs are my favorites!! They are the animal I miss most from when we were farming. I never had sheep. Great photos!
Pigs get such a bad rap about being dirty, I remember on my uncles farm they had a big area and were so clean
The sheep and Lambs remind me back in NZ we have about 20 Sheep per person there
A bit too many I would say.
Well yes And No
Lamb is one of our biggest exports and we have plenty of space for them
Excellent working
Thanks.
You have a nice farm! It's kinda new to me that you let your pigs run out freely in your yard. Here in our country (the Philippines) we put them inside pigpen or hogpen. or sometimes we put individual neck strap. Also, you got a nice photography skills. Me, I am still learning photography. I hope we could be friends.
Wow! Very cool and interesting post! I liked the most mumps, although sheep are also cute, but pigs are my favorite. I even with my friend somehow came up with a pig language and talked about everything "that everything is like a pig", "beautiful like a pig", "thin as a pig" and we were very funny. It was very interesting to read him. Thank you for writing a post.
Spanking photo ............................
Bacon and lamb chops! Looks delicious. I'm drooling and licking the monitor just looking at these babies!
Awwn, this is so beautiful...
GREETINGS FROM VENEZUELA, I FOLLOW YOU TO SEE MORE OF YOUR WORK
People are naive, that's all I'm saying on this.
This is correct @oldtimer except for that of being clean. From my experience, no matter where a pig is kept, it must soak itself in its drinking water.
I'd love to see your entry for my contest to win 5 SBD!
