Chillin' with the herd
New farmers here, we’ll, full time I am still a trucker for now, but that’s paying for the 31 acres we bought last year. So far we have 2 bottle calves, 2 rabbits for 4H, 2 puppies (Great Pyr and Pyr/chocolate lab mix), 2 cats, 2 10 year old kids, and 37 laying hens plus 4 roosters!
Wife has said she wants pigs, so after some research we’ve decided to get some IPPs. We have visited one farm near us with registered stock and plan to get 3 feeders and a gilt from her in June, and a young boat from the other local farmer with IPPs.
We have about 20 acres of woods and 10-11 acres of pasture/openings/creek/etc. Looking for advice and to learn as much as I can before then! We’ll be getting the piglets at about 8 weeks old.
