Hello BB! So how old are you? I was reading the thread on goats tonight. Sorry mom said no.....bummer But I learned a lot about tying-up goats. I'm just thinking of goats tied to tires

LovinLife, he maybe isn't really supposed to tell his age because it could be less than 18. It is a forum rule.

We call him the youngin' for a reason though.

Oh gotcha

 

[savingdogs]

Don't be fooled by the title youngin', however, he knows more about being SS than many people way past their prime and has a good deal more sense than lots of folks too, of all ages.

I've been reading some posts and have been very impressed by his knowledge and accomplishments!

I'm just sittin' around in my rag rollers, wishing I had a wind turbine.

Got our pig fence Friday. DH put it up except I only got three panels. We got the stock or hog fence which comes in 16' lengths and I thought 16 squared would be too big. However when DH put the first side up I realized I wanted it to be 16' all the way around. This will be half the size my garden was last year, which is good. I am hoping piggy will till and fertilize the area for me then we will move her to a permanent pen. We still don't know how we're going to move a 40-50 lb pig yet but we will figure it out She's only about 15 lbs now but will probably be that big in a couple months. I've been weaning her off milk but she wants nothing to do with her pig pellets. I started by giving her milk then put bread in it to get her to try to start chewing. I try to give her pellets soaked in milk but she just snorts and pushes it with her snout (as if she's looking for something better). So now I think she just wants more bread. I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to get her to eat pellets but maybe if she gets hungry enough she's give them a try.

I think your pig will eat anything when its hungry enough. But I would ask OFG if you have any questions.

Great thanks! If it becomes a concern for me I will ask OFG but for right now she seems good and healthy.

Today is day #2 without coffee. :/ I had a green smoothie this morning and yesterday morning instead of coffee. Not that I had a choice considering I refused to pay that crazy amount of money for coffe! But as I was cleaning today a thought accured to me.....if I quit vacuuming then my electric bill would be probably about $2 less each month.... yeah right after about a month we would have to move in with the pig, her house would probably be cleaner!
