We had farrowing houses, but pastured the hogs almost 100%. <br /><br />Looking at the straw and the bedding, I can almost smell and feel the farm.<br />Enjoyed your post immensely.Susan Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834094675218254410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-86078900234819724162012-03-09T22:03:13.818-06:002012-03-09T22:03:13.818-06:00I think I want to be an animal on your farm!I think I want to be an animal on your farm!Black Squirrel Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960685267761808688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-958174090773718532012-03-09T22:03:09.706-06:002012-03-09T22:03:09.706-06:00I think I want to be an animal on your farm!I think I want to be an animal on your farm!Black Squirrel Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960685267761808688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-52374582464042946692012-03-09T19:45:13.561-06:002012-03-09T19:45:13.561-06:00The hogs babies are so cute.

Not only that, but as icky as it is, we need to show people what the mega-food industry DOES; unfortunately too many people (including some of my own extended family) just see the meat in the plastic wrapped polystyrene tray and not the horrid living conditions those animals have to endure before being "relieved" of their lives via the knife.<br /><br />Yay for happy pastured piggies!!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-14432600226579383772012-03-09T10:18:44.406-06:002012-03-09T10:18:44.406-06:00Dot is a beauty!

It is up to us to say NO, and ensure that at least a good percentage of rearing is done correctly. Well done to both of you.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.com
