I never thought it’d work but it has. Wife and daughters keep there’s in a “portable corral” of electric poultry netting. It’s about 3’ tall and has squares like a wire panel but is all that white rope with electric wire braided into it. It has several fiberglass post that push into the ground. It’s about a 50’ diameter circle as they have it currently. They move it around doing a rotational grazing type thing. Of course it’s got a solar powered fence charger powering it.I have the room but no way to contain them or I'd be skipping work and on my way to get them. Looks like I need to start building an enclosure.
Great way of teaching!
Our pay on the farm raising up was one steer or heifer calf a year. Could keep it and start your own beard or sell it back or raise it and sell it. I kept all mine. Time I was in High school I had 40 head.
I need a mangalica boar.I don’t know what is the best hog size/age for butchering but I would think they’d make a bunch of cheap sausages! The girls have a list of folks waiting but that’s for weaning size pigs. They’ve built a clientele. They started this a few years ago with 1 pair of pigs and now I think they have 6 sows and 2 boars. The breed is a little different though. I’ve got zero idea if it’s better or worse. Most of them are American Guinea hogs. I’d call them a medium sized hog. They don’t root as much and actually graze quite a bit like a cow. They also have a Mangalitza (spelling?) boar. Hell if I know much about it aside from its kinda brown and tan striped.
I mentioned that to my wife. To demonstrate how little I really pay attention to their hog herd, the Mang I mentioned above was a boar is actually a sow. For some reason I thought they told me they were buying a boar when they bought him.I need a mangalica boar.
The curly locks pigs, say they taste real good. But in my eyes a pig is a pig.I mentioned that to my wife.
