American Guinea Hogs!

Your pigs are great! I have PBPs right now, but was thinking of getting a pair of Guinea Hogs. Are you going to be selling the piglets?

Yes, I am. My parents wants me to start advertising them, so we will not be so over run with piglets. lol I will be selling them when they are 6 weeks old and up. Right now the first litter will be a week old on Friday. And two sows are due within a month. They all were bred with a different boar then what we have now.

I got the hog pen completely finished today! Now they have lots of room! I will take some pictures this afternoon.

The finished pen-
The hog fence goes behind the trees too.

Annabelle's babies have gotten big fast! She took her babies out of the shed, and mingled with the other hogs today.

This is Jasper the boar.

They really like the grass clippings!

Here is the escape proof gate.

You are doing a great job with those Pigs. That Boar is lovely such a stout, strong build. As for the Pigs being in the creek I'd be careful they don't ruin it as they seem to like to root things up.
I had a farmer up stream of one of my streams with some pigs and they tore up the stream and disrupted the water quality and clearity.

My dad had decided not to let the hogs of the pen after they had escaped one afternoon, but I added an old portable chicken coop as part of the fence and more shelter for the hogs. So, their pen is very large, lots of room.
