So far, so good, but we had rain last night, so we'll see how they fared with morning chores. <BR/><BR/>Jenny, choosing isn't hard because they will all be food, unless we sell some to others as breeding stock. <BR/><BR/>Annette, not really a juxtaposition, just life on a farm. <BR/><BR/>We probably won't feed any of these out, as we should have enough meat/ large cuts from the first litter. We'll butcher these small before they take a toll on the pastures or our pocket book. The pigs are eating us out of house and home, and with the prices of organic feed, we can't afford to feed out two rounds of piglets. <BR/><BR/>Besides, piglet is incredibly moist, tasty, and tender. It's like veal but without the cruelty.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687340159825245112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093811.post-16281645516527997212008-08-27T23:00:00.000-05:002008-08-27T23:00:00.000-05:00Interesting juxtaposition, this post and your husb...Interesting juxtaposition, this post and your husband's current one. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093811.post-66283232728323162802008-08-27T21:08:00.000-05:002008-08-27T21:08:00.000-05:00OMG those are prolific little critters aren't they...OMG those are prolific little critters aren't they?

My 2d girl was scared to go into the holding area where the pigs were because of all the snorting they do, so I had to carry her, but we fell in love with some of those pigs!
