??? WHAT IS IT THIS TIME PAPA ???
Yes, I know, it's always something. Quick, the rabbit is out again! Quick, a piglet needs stitches! Quick, the chicks are hatching!
This time it's, "Quick, get a fence up on some pasture. Maybe even the associate pasture!" Well, at least we never know what to expect. Interestingly enough, this time it is an opportunity to get some free animals!
DID YOU SAY FREE?
Yes, I know what many of you who have been following @papa-pepper for a long time already must be thinking? How in the world does @papa-pepper end up with so many free animals?
Q: Weren't those pot-bellied pigs you got free, Papa?
A: Yes, we found them on craigslist for free.
Q: Wasn't that Chinchilla rabbit you got free, Papa?
A: Yes, @smailer bought it for us.
Q: Wasn't that Turken rooster you got free, Papa?
A: Yeah, that one was purchased for us by @smailer too?
Q: And that Red Wattle/Large Black sow you got, Papa?
A: Yup, @smailer again...
Q: What about those two beautiful black roosters you had, Papa?
A: Those were purchased for us by @felixxx and @dresden.
Q: What about those two black Muscovy ducks that you got, Papa?
A: Yeah, our neighbors gave us those.
Q: And that other Muscovy duck you got later, Papa?
A: That was another gift from the neighbors.
Q: And weren't some of those Guinea Fowl that you got free too, Papa?
A: Yeah, @matthewtiii and @vcelier purchased a few for us.
THAT'S A LOT OF FREE ANIMALS, PAPA!
I guess when you back up and look at it that way, it is a lot of free animals. However, who could say no to a few more? Okay, I actually don't know the answer to that question, because we are not saying no!
Some new friends of ours are trying to reduce the number of animals that they have. Soon, they will be taking some to an auction. However, they said if we wanted some and could come and get some first, we could have some.
Now my @little-peppers and I have been hard at work fencing in some pasture for them. If I can finish the fencing in the morning, we should be picking them up later today.
While that photo may not look quite as painful as my hands actually feel, this project has not been without blister or callous. Thankfully, what's missing from my hands will grow back soon enough.
Also, at least I have some helpers around when I need them. Even though "many hands make light work" this roll of fencing was still very heavy!
??? WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL ARE YOU GETTING PAPA ???
Well, that part will remain a mystery for now. You guys are certainly free to guess if you wish, but you'll have to stay tuned to see what we bring home this time.
A special thank you to everyone who has been helping us reach our dream together as a family!
Don't worry. I'll get that fence done and go pick them up! We'll keep you posted!

It varies. It is also interesting to look at almost 10K followers and only 158 views on a post like this.
As for the upvotes, some are in it for curation rewards, some just want to support me, and perhaps others will be back to look at it later. It's the way it's always been here.
What do you think about it?

I think, that it's a problem. Good solution for this - get rid of upvote button outside of the post. People could abuse this thing.
Thanks, that you answer to comments.

I was going to guess a cow until I saw the fencing...that is definitely not for cows...if its goats just be prepared for escapes...they are sneaky and smart animals and be prepared for them to be seen tap dancing on any and all vehicles in your yard. :D The fencing looks about right for goats but its hard to say for sure from the picture angles...let me know if I was right. :D

I grew up on a farm with cattle, so fences were a vital part of the work. I didn't ever mind doing other work related to the farm, but for some reason I didn't even enjoy putting up new fence or repairing fencing.
It's probably good that you've introduced your kids to it early, haha.
Free animals are always great. My parents got all sorts of free chickens, turkeys, pheasants, and guineas when I was growing up. We had a nice variety of yard birds that helped keep the bugs down and laid eggs. As long as you've got the space for them, I understand why you don't turn them down!
Thanks for sharing!

Hrmmmm.... The height of the fence isn't good for a jumper ... The thickness of the posts isn't strong enough for heavy animals or ones that like to rub up against the fence ... There's no e-fence ... But you seem to be fencing off a rather large area. Goats might jump out. Sheep would be a good possibility. But I'm going to guess a little more exotic...
My guesses are:
