Pigs Arrive !

We picked up our feeder pigs on Sunday.  The reddish one on the left is a Tamworth, and the black one is half Tamworth, half Large Black.  Tamworth and Large Black are both heritage breed pigs that do well on pasture.  Both breeds are known for their friendliness.


Although, I'm not sure I want them too friendly, and they are kind of cute..

We plan on enjoying delicious pork this winter.

    I want to come see your piggies! I had a lot of reading to catch up on your blog. I didn't bother reading about the chicken butchering :) Poor Katie :( Sad that Una is gone, but I want to meet Melody.

    Hi Anna! Sure, come anytime. Give me a call first. Yes, sad about Katie and Una. Pigs are in their new digs with the Rhode Island Red hens now in the woods.
