Now that the pig pasture is mowed, it’s time to get some pigs! This year we have four, and they are all girls or gilts. (They become sows after having a litter and male pigs are always called boars.)
One brave girl is the first to step out.
After eating some rocks (pigs love to chew on rocks!) she convinces her buddies to come out.
Soon they are all out!
They quickly discover the feed trough. We feed them pig mash mixed with water to ensure they get all the correct nutrients. They will also get food destined for compost, chicken and duck eggs, and all the grass and weeds (and rocks) they care to eat.
They may be sticking close to their shed for now, but soon they will be roaming all over the pasture. Stay tuned!
