Evans Rancheria









Hey we decided to go a little natural, well we are using the area we have to raise some chickens (for eggs) and some pigs, well we all know what those are for. That is right we have twenty (20) chickens and two pigs. We bought two Yorkshire and Hampshire mixes which makes them "Blue Butts" We bought the pigs on a friday and lost them only once that day. While Grant and I were looking for the pigs in the neighbors ward there was no sign of them so we got into the truck and took off down Ponderosa road and looked and them down Carlson road and court which backs up to our property. No sign of them, this was about 2 hours of looking. While driving I had Grant say a prayer that we would find the pigs, and when we got home the pigs were back in the pen. Can you believe that? Almost like a primary testimony but I am serious of the power of prayer, little things like that help us gain a stronger testimony each and every day. The next day which is Saturday we lost them two more times but each time we found them.

Love the pigs. Can't wait to meet them. Old McEvans had a farm...but I bet you'll get too attached to them to kill them and eat them. You wait and see.
