Veronica is out! This morning we (the dogs and I) went in to feed water and check on the pigs and Porkers was smelling Veronica and she snapped at her and got her in the nose. Veronica is done with morning chores!
Yesterday Sheila and I went out and she finally put to pet her pig, Porkers. Before this Sheila told me that Porkers could go right to the butcher. She didn't like her pig. Now she's not as mean to her.
When the kids got home yesterday I guess they both were hand feeding their pigs. Bacon really doesn't care how he gets food as long as he can reach it.
So far so good. It's more work around here but I think the pay off will be worth it.
Last Friday we went to the Co-op on 169 in Long siding and the lady that helped us eased our minds and had a lot of great info! Kudos to Amanda and THANK YOU! I'll be going back and seeing her again! Maybe pick her brain for more info. ;)

They are here!
Well, we did it!
Went and got 2 pigs from Rush City and brought them home. A male, Bacon and female, Porkers. They kids are uneasy about the whole process so we will see how the summer goes and wither they will eat pork ever again.
Our Dogs love them but the pigs aren't too sure of them. today they had our Black lab, Veronica, Cornered and she decided she really didn't want to play with them any more. lol
So far they haven't destroyed too much. Today I had to wrestle with the female she had two ticks on her and she was a strong little bugger!
Every morning I have gotten up and went to check on them and feed them Jaz, our white lab, and Veronica have to go in and check on them.

Getting Started
Getting started...
My husband Shane and I are going to raise our own pigs and chickens!
We've got half of the "Pig Pen" built. Once that is done I told him we start on the chicken coop.
WAY tooo many questions and finding some answers but still not sure where to get the pigs? If our 16' x 20' Pen is big enough for two pigs? What do I feed them?
Well, back to the internet highway for more learning! This is more work that building the pen!
