    Baby Potbellies - First Timers :D

    I had almost given up hope that my girl was bred, turns out she was! She is being a fabulous mother as far as I can tell. She had 6 of them, but the two weaker ones ended up dieing. The remaining four seem to be doing really well. Pinkerton, the mother, has actually calmed down since having...

    Tagging, Notching or Tattooing

    What method do you use to keep track of your litters? The breed I am looking at is American Guinea Hogs. They are a black hog, so I am thinking tattooing would be rather hard to read (not to mention they are a bit hairy). Tags seem like they would get lost/torn out/etc. So that leaves...

    Penile infection? I think... maybe...

    So I went to trade that water trough for a boy piggy. Good deal. Well we get there and this is what I see (see attached photos) the dude SAYS that they were just like that today and he is a little concerned (uhhh DUH). So he says I can take two pigs if I want for the water trough. So they...

    Oberhasli Herd Information

    I am looking at maybe doing a trade for a doe that is 75% Alpine, and 25% Oberhasli. I know the genetics behind her Alpine parts are nice and strong, but I can't find anything on the Obs in her lineage. Anyone heard of or seen any animals from Gautz-Acres? This is her ped...

    Entropion in Rabbits

    Anyone else have an issue with this in certain bloodlines? It first cropped up here last year. I had a new Champagne D'Argent buck I was using and the first litter he sired 2 of the kits got what I thought was conjunctivitis at the time. The usual pus, swollen eye lids, etc. So I brought...

    My Newest Adventure...

    Yupp... I've come to join you all in the world of pigs. Okay, maybe she isn't exactly what MOST of you have, but I think she will serve our little homestead well. She is a mini pig, a potbelly or a potbelly mix of sorts. Her dam was a little bigger, about 70 or so lbs, her dad much smaller...

    Photography - Focus Tips

    So my particular camera has the {} in the center. It also has a circle around it with a {} at the north, south, east and west points. The problem I have with it is when I am on auto focus and I wish to focus on something, I put it in the center, and the camera focuses instead on something in...

Looks like I will fit right in =D I raise meat rabbits, chickens, ducks and recently aquired some lovely lamancha goats (with plans to get more) from Lost Nation Farm. We are also overrun with dogs, rats (the pet kind)...
