How many can we fit

How many animals can we fit in a 16 x 16 pig pen?




Two steers, 6 chickens, and 2 pigs. This was not on purpose. Since we were outside working on Saturday afternoon, we decided to let the pigs out to roam the pasture . . . leaving their pen gate open in case they wanted to go back in on their own.

Well it seemed that everyone else thought that the 16' x 16' pig pen was way more exciting than their acre pasture. I think the pigs felt like their space was being invaded. Runt had retreated inside the hog house, which is why you see the steers trying to put their heads in the door. Later on the steers got stuck in the pen, when the wind blew the gate shut. T-bone figured out how to knock the gate back open by nudging it with his nose, but even when they got it back open, they didn't seem really interested in leaving . . . I had to go chase them out, and shut the gate behind them.

Otherwise people might drive by, see the following, and think we were abusing our animals.




No really, they went in their all by themselves. More curious about things then the ever revered curious cat.
