Nice is that a feeder hanging there???

 

[Jamie_Dog_Trainer]

Yeah its a pretty nice feeder, they are a bit small to use it right now. As they get taller we'll tie it open so they understand thats where the food comes from so we can leave the lid down later.

They are pretty cute little pigies and you have a nice set-up for them.

Below is another site I started following. Last year this couple got two pigs for the first time and kept track of everything they spent to raise them from set-up to freezer. Below is their summary.

Take a look at backyardherds at the bottom of the page. Do a search for Ohio farm Girl. She has a website that chronicles raising pigs from start to finish, even butchering them herself. Lots of very good info in the pig section as well. Good luck with your pigs and they are very nice looking piggies.

Thanks everyone

Hannah and I just got home from feeding them. They are sooooo cute, wow I never thought I'd like them this much. The female, Patty, is very very playful and curious. She bucks around the pen, like a little horse and runs laps around me. LOL She's quite the entertainer. Link is more reserved but will also play, though not as much. Today they came up to me and untied my shoes Haha. The stinkers!! I have a feeling I won't be able to be there the day they are butchered, at least until they are done in and bled out.
