Big & Rich, Sally & Wilbur

     After much thought and research, our farm has added an addition of 2 young mother Guinea Hogs

that have been bred recently. Both have had their first litters and shared their babies when caring and

feeding them. (This is great for us after our last momma pig ate her babies from both litters.) Each

had 5 to the litter. We named them after one of our favorite bands because one was big and the other

little.

     This was the first thing that came to mind. We have placed them into their new pen and will be

mending the old donkey pen to give them a grazing field in the spring. They are unlike most pigs that

need to be fed much grain and other foods.They tend to graze on grasses, acorns and other goodies

that come from the earth.

      Both of our Duroc hogs have grown and one is ready for slaughter. Wilbur is in some ways sadly

coming to his end to fill up the freezer. Sally will be bred to a friends hog and her babies will be up

for sale when the time comes. We are definitely upping our game when it comes to hogs and a great

deal of time and energy will be put into them as time passes. Researching the linage of the new pigs

will help us to get registration for them. That will help out in the long run.

Come January we will be truly hog farmers.
