WE ARE DONE!! I don’t know who is the happiest, us or the pigs!
An airial view(I was standing on a ladder).
Piper and Poodle checking things out.
This is how we feed pigs!
They’re getting the hang of it.
What’s in here?
I poked a stick through the wire and depressed the hog nipple. They got excited and plowed up the mud. I poked it a few more times and they finally bit the nipple. In moments they both bit down on the nipple and sucked up a drink. We decided to use a blue barrel instead of the tote.
We are tired, but very satisfied with our hard work. Piper and Poodle like it too!
haha, we're getting all 3 grand daughters tomorrow evening.
AND I just got 53 Cornish Cross chicks and I MUST build chicken tractors. One front pasture that we have raised pigs in is lush with clover and rye grass. The other one is sparse, stunted and sad. Better than what we started with, but not by much, we sprigged it last fall. I'm going to run the chicken tractors in Pasture #1. Everybody says CCX are poop machines, so might as well fertilize the pasture!
