    We had pigs born on the 15th! 11 total... 1 was stillborn and during the first night we had coyotes come down and mom was agitated and stepped on 2. We've held steady at 8 since then. Just thought I'd update that we FINALLY have the bacon bits on the ground, lol. Pics are coming if I can get them attached since I moved them onto the SD card...

    I'm looking into picking up hogs/pigs next year to raise for butchering? Trying to get myself a little more self sufficient all the time and I figured why not have a left over disposal, bush cleaning dirt turner?

    Anything they don't like? Any tips on fencing to keep them in?

    Concrete block, concertenia wire, welded steel stockade fencing, backed up with cameras and armed guards should be enough, but with pigs...you never know.
