    Yep, got a barn full of them ready to go to market. We don't farrow to finish any more, which I really miss, we just finish now.

    Do you have any clue what I just said???

    I sure do.... I raised pigs for 4-H, and will be again soon for my son.:) We stopped after my sister got out a couple years ago, and I miss it very much.

    I have found nothing that taste better than home raised, but they are cute when they are little. I had one sow that was so spoiled that she would not have her babies unless I was there holding her head. This is very unusual since most mama pigs are mean when giving birth.

    when I meant wiser, I meant the pig was too small to butcher.

    You get some that are, but most are not in my experience. Young ones especially will be nervous, but after one liter they are usually very docile. I loved the farrowing house, even though it was a lot of work. I hated the nursery part and the finishing part was ok, but nothing to get excited about. I liked the gestation building too. :):
