Jul. 2, 2006 - A Weekend on the Farm!
Okay, I went to get the pig. We only got one. I drove up to dh's job and there it was. Brown and ugly. I might also mention that its a "hog" not a pig. Nothing like Wilbur (Charlottes Web).
Anyway, dh put it in the back yard in a little enclosure near the german shepard. He was hoping the shepard, Ginger, would keep him in his area. NOT. She was just not interested. So, Mr. No (dd's name) is roaming my back yard. He found a spot of mud and has now rooted around it. Dd says all we need now are chickens! ROFLOL.
He wont be around long. We should be butchering him in about a few weeks. Growing up on a farm, I know that its not quite ready but we just dont have the space to keep him longer. And if he roots up one of my rose bushes...its on. The table that is!

I can just see your piggy in my mind, wallowing in the yard mud LOL
We usually buy a half a hog in the fall, but haven't raised one as of yet.
