November 28th
I am currently alone in the main section of the farm. So I have to perform duties like chopping firewood and starting the donkey (the huge kettle for the warm bath water). I set a new personal record for slaughtering today: 8 calves. They were on the trailer with two big cows so I decided to throw them on the ground, so that I do not have to climb on the trailer to fetch every single calf. So I threw the calves down and I was feeling a bit sad of how I treat the animals that were alive a few hours ago. The calves come here in old food bags. One head was outside of the bag and I looked into its eyes… damn sometimes they look so alive. So I took this one because it looked fresh, and a fresh calf is easier to slaughter than a calf that has been dead for a while. I take the bag and drag it over to the slaughter area and Robin says to me: “It’s still alive.” I look down and it is moving and was obviously in real pain. Robin told me to fetch a hammer and she killed it by hammering it on the head a few times. As she turned away its legs were shaking and moving so Robin went ahead and slit its throat. After that experience I needed Snus.
Me... slaughtering...

I got so drunk last night that I could not walk up straight. Cider. Wine. And half a bottle of Tequila did the trick 
Anyway. Happy Birthday Rici. Robin and Samantha’s brother came to the farm and he is going to stay for a few month. What else: Puppies are progressing well, so far no more casualties. We went to a near by sawmill to get some sawdust for the pathways around the farm. It actually looks quite nice now. It was a lot of work loading the trailer full of sawdust with only shovels… but hey, it was worth the trouble. I saw my first snake today. Poisonous little bastard.

We fixed the water pump today. The pipe got disconnected and turned so that the water could not run through. I tripped and almost fell of a cliff… A little adrenalin is always nice.
Here we pump water
And the word you are looking for is "Wow"
Oh my god! You are talking about things as if they were routine. Don’t you dare try to make all that getting burned, bitten and almost falling of a cliff routine.
I really enjoy your blog though. It’s almost like beeing there! Man, in a way I totally envy you. But still, take care of yourself and all the wolves.
Hope you got “the package” and that I’ll hear fom you soon!
Lots of greetings
Micha
