I've read, re-read, investigated, and read repeatedly. It's an absolute treasure trove. Something for you, maybe, to consider. I've devoured several and it seems the best.CollieFarmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12037438922124724352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35188043.post-68445632479785004422008-06-05T10:17:00.000-05:002008-06-05T10:17:00.000-05:00Someone on the homesteading today forum had some 5...Someone on the homesteading today forum had some 50 miles north of St. Louis but that is probably too far away. <BR/>We picked up our 3/4 Red Wattle piglets on Saturday night. They are so much fun to watch and they are starting to figure out that there is a little corn buried in the bedding that they are on. I LOVED the article on acorn finishing and have been thinking about that and pecan and walnut finishing so I threw in a jar of pecans to see if they would like them. Goodness! They seem to like pecans, in the shell, more than anything else that I've given them including "pig feed". We got 3. Two barrows and a smaller gilt from a younger litter because the older piglets were sold out. My biggest surprise, how loud they were when they were picked up to be put in the mini van. ;-)Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004108517882417325noreply@blogger.com
