Day 255:<\/p>\n
First, the bad news: the pig got big enough he didn’t fit through the doors, and he was getting ornery about being in the building. I didn’t really want to slaughter him, he’d been a good pig as pigs go, but on the other hand the reason I brought pigs into my ranch in the first place was not for a companion animal, it was for meat.<\/p>\n
So now I get pork chops, which will be different, and right now different is good.<\/p>\n
Now the good news:<\/p>\n
I fenced in an area probably close to twice the size that I’d fenced in before, so all the animals have more space to roam. That’s especially good because it was feeding day for the pigs so now I have half again the number of pigs I had before.<\/p>\n
The fence seems secure, although I’m a little worried that the zombies will find a way over or through. They were quite fond of that field until I fenced it in today so I’m pretty sure they’re not pleased. One was throwing eggs at me.<\/p>\n
All in all a net positive, so long as the fence holds.<\/p>\n
So now the real question: I was looking for sheep because I was looking for horses. And I only caught one sheep. So should I go looking for more sheep, go back to mining that spot I was working on, go looking for horses, or go back to the mining project that started the whole thing?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
