Anytime is Mealtime

One of the biggest differences between domestic animals and livestock is the feeding. The cats and dogs are like clockwork. They have an internal clock and they know when it's feeding time, regardless of if we're in daylight savings or not. 

The livestock though, they get fed sometime in the evenings. It could be late because of the play rehearsal or early because we have to go to a concert. Either way, they get fed. Either way, Ciarán is starving and will bull rush her way to all the food troughs and all the others know to stay out of her way. 

When we first got Ciarán, she was pregnant and nursing Coorie. We expected her to be on the hungry side. Now that she's not pregnant and no longer nursing Callie, we've just decided she must be part pig. We separated the troughs far apart tonight, and she ran so fast to check them both out. I wish I had gotten it on camera!
