Except that I like pigs and i don't like cats!

honestly I want them mostly for meat and I would like to be able to sale them for extra money to help with over all cost. I am still on the fence because I really enjoyed having our pigs but at the same time the set up we use to have sacked. I had to mend the fences because the temporary pen was very old and had so many weeds it took forever for the pigs to find the holes or for us to see them. the biggest issue my husband had was the size of them and he didn't like me in with them but I am not very well behaved lol. we are still going to talk about everything I really appreciate the advice gives me more to think about. the kids love them as well. currently we have 7 goats, fifty chickens four geese nine duck and four rabbits. not including the pets. I think my biggest worry is how to do it with a new born I would not be going in the pen period with the youngis and that fine with me. so mostly likely for now might end up with feeders until we have older kids. just slightly frustrating having to wait lol. I also decide that if we get a cow it going to be a feeder. I am not game on having a herd of cows quite yet.

I’ll give you some piglets if you come and get them! Im in NJ tho so it be a bit of a haul

That's a heck of an offer @AmberLops!!!

How are you @luvmypets?

@luvmypets Thank you! I would love some piglets from you!! I'll see what I can do...I'll be travelling to Maine this fall.
NJ wouldn't be too far off from that journey!
I'm hoping to pick up some sheep from @secuono around that time too...pigs and sheep! That sure would be a blast and i'll see if I can do it. I'll be messaging you in the fall for sure!

@Jesusfreak101 what did you think of my Pig Palace set up? It makes raising pigs sooooooo much easier. The bin feeder will hold 100 pounds of feed, the blue barrel feeder for sour corn, both can be accessed from outside the pen. The water barrel with the hog nipple stopped turning the water tub over, love it! With caring for a family, it sure would cut down on the work involved in daily caring for pigs. If you build a set up something like mine, be sure to allow room for backing a trailer up for loading and a way to run them up a chute. I don't have the chute, wish I did.

Coffee is on. Now that fair is done DH is Gung ho to get started on the farm improvements.

Thank you for the coffee! Farm improvements! Progress is moving forward.
