Thank you

Hello! I recently rescued 3 pot belly pigs. There hooves are not that bad but do need trimmed. I am only used to trimming goats. My question is, do pigs quick grow like a dogs does or is it always the same no matter how long the hoof gets? 2 of the pigs have black hooves which makes it hard to...

Will do! Thank you!

Hi! I don't but I am going to my local feed store in the morning to get a dewormer and anything I can find for her coat because it is dry. I was told she is old but I have no way to know for sure.

Hello ya'll! I am looking for advice on 2 of the 3 potbelly pigs we rescued. One is emaciated and the other is working his way there. How much should I feed them a day to get them back to a healthy weight? I have attached pics but they might not be the best. Thanks for your help.

That is what I was thinking too. If it were me, I would be happy someone cared enough about my animals to do something. If I could afford it would have tried to just buy them from him. But my goats and chickens is all I can do. I love farm animals. No animal should suffer at the hands of humans.

Another Update: I saw the owner of the cows loading them up in a trailer this afternoon. Some of them were still hanging around last I saw, but it looks like most are gone. I am assuming he is moving them. We will see. Hopefully if he is moving them it will be somewhere that he can keep an eye...

Me too!

UPDATE: I met with the Livestock Deputy about an hour ago. Thankfully the cows came by looking for more treats and I was able to keep them there until he got there... most of the cows and calves anyway. He agreed with us and said he would take care of it. I also made sure he knew there was 4...

Thank you. I appreciate the encouragement. I knew in my soul it was the right thing to do. I love animals, I am not vegan, but I do believe in caring for and loving everything God puts in your hands. Here is a pic of the acres they are trying to eat from. It just breaks my heart. I hope the...

I think its about 100 acres they are on but its dry. There are trees/bushes but no grass. Its a sad sight. Thankfully there is a tank that has some water in it and he does have a trough that is hooked up to a water line if needed. He doesn't come by here often. I would say maybe once a month or...

Thank you for responding. I have called the sheriff. Hopefully they will take action.

Right, last year was bad. I did end up calling the Sheriff. I just cannot sit back and watch. There is no need for any animal to have to suffer. Thank you for responding.

Thank you so much for this. I agree with you 100%

Well, they seemed a little thin last year but not as thin as they are now. Last year there was only one or two that seemed thin. This year it seems like all of them are thin. I am not trying to get the guy in trouble, but I also do not want the cows to starve to death. I cannot set by and do...

Thanks! They are not recent arrivals. They have been here since I moved here almost 2 years ago. There are a couple calves and a few that are weaned. He has a bull and about 7 cows that he uses for breading. When the calves are old enough, he comes and gets them and takes them to auction, I...

That is what I though too. I cannot sit by and watch these sweet things die of starvation. I decided to go ahead and call the Livestock Deputy. Hopefully they will take care of them. The worst part is the 4 bales they could be eating that are sitting right there but fenced in so they cannot get...

Hello! First, let me say these are not my cattle. I guy leases the property across the street from my house. He allows me to feed them cubes so they stop by once a day for some treats. I do not know a whole lot about cattle, but I feel like beef cattle should not look like this. He leaves the...
