0154 Processing a pig and people's feelings, bow season, bees and honey
After posting that we were taking a pig to the processor and hurting some folks feelings... we decided we didn't really care. Toughen up folks. So we make fun of them. Then we talk about the deer season to date and update people on the honey harvest from our first year of bees. In general - it's a bunch of farm updates.
