Oh wow the other pig sounds like a real pain to trim! But I am at the idea of a pig hanging from the rafters

Just figured maybe they'd hurt less if trimmed again or is it more the weight?

angle he hit and speed

Yes, I've definitely been looking at sheep that shed their own wool. A friend of my Mums has Demara sheep and that's often crossed with a Wiltshire here to make a 'Meatmaster' sheep. I do like the Demara sheep as they are very pretty with their colours and patterns.

believe me its well worth it not to have to find someone who shears, our clippers would always gum up, it was easier to find someone who would do it for us and also take the wool the one man had the clipper like they use in aus. but he moved so we lost him and it was also nice not to have to band the tails. if we ever get sheep again, it will be the hair sheep

Love the spots! We had Guinea Hogs.

guinea's are bigger than wilbur, we see them sometimes at the auction, friend bought one for a dollar, said it was quite delicious altho he couldn't keep it in the pen

Mine are potbelly's we got them for practice before getting into mule foot hogs. They were supposed to go to the processor this month but the litter changed things...

Jae, got holland and duck eggs in the bator.

wilbur is a juliane we think, or maybe a cross with potbelly but since i can't eat anything that i've raised and made a pet of, hes safe

Basically the new game plan is to let them parent the babies until they're weaned and then we'll see. scary part is she will go into heat 10 days after they quit nursing... decisions decisions....
