No I reenforced a barn stall to keep her in. Haven't had a pig for around 10 years and in 2 weeks she has already reminded me of the joys of how easily they root out of what I thought was a secure pen, how much fun it is to get them recaptured, and the smell of pig sh#t..skyhightree1":5sputtqh said:Lazy M":5sputtqh said:She's already been invited to a dinner in her honor in 5-6 monthsskyhightree1":5sputtqh said:Nice.. will the pig be a special guest at the table or a pet?

We raise 3 or 4 every year for our family. The pic was from May 23rd. They go to the butcher October 15th.
They are fun to watch. Also make great use of waste from the garden.

You got a very good deal.

Yes sir very proud of it. Have you ever thought about raising your own?

I have considered it. There are no facilities here. It would mean starting from scratch other than I have some feeders. Dad used to panel the garden. He put pigs in during the off season. They wintered well here in TX. No weeds left in the spring. We also used to feed them trash fish. Gar etc. We fed fish guts when we cleaned fish. They got table scraps. Nothing went to waste.
The folks who process my steers also process hogs. There is 17 acres here at the house.
Each week when I buy bacon, your very thoughts come to mind.
