Fun With Food

Our piggies have really grown up! We got them in mid-March at the age of about 6 weeks. We have been raising them on excess eggs, goat milk, and pig grower. We are hoping to have a litter of piglets from them in the fall before butchering the boar.
By the end of April the weather was getting a bit warm so we decided to buy them a kiddie pool to help them stay cool. Now that they are approaching 6 months old and the weather is hot...the boar spends a lot of time in the pool, and he nearly fills it! There is no hope to keep these guys out of the mud. Even with cleaning and filling the pool 2-3 times a day, the heat keeps them in the water and muck. By November he should provide us with 150+ pounds of pork.
