Hi, outside of Ripley. We have fainters.

We haven't butchered yet, will keep you posted. We're going to do a piglet for Christmas dinner this year. We're looking into some of the butchering places. Was not happy with the place that did our beef. Hopefully soon. Not sure if we're going to have two done or not. The boar really had...

You also might want to try AI if you get sows. I've heard it works really well with pigs. You can risk health problems to your stock if someone else's has any kind of worms, lice or other communicable illness. I'm not saying it will happen, it's just a possibility. We try to be careful here...

I found this site and thought that you might be able to get some info off of it for yourself. http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/Articles/Cooking-Tips--Techniques-642/pork-cut-yield-per-hog.aspx We had the regular white pig in CT we used for just meat (every year we would raise a couple), but these...

Thank you, There is so much here to explore.

We have four gilts left. They were born August 18 and registration papers will go with them. They are all fed a non-gmo feed. No antibiotics, vaccines or hormones are given. They seem to be our best piglets ever. These will be the last of their kind. Mother great temperament, very good...

Anyone know here what states people are from?

You should check this out. It has all of the cuts. Beef, pork, lamb and goat.

Hoover67, where abouts are you located? If you purchase now you will have to provide winter feeding and that might be difficult you being new to pigs. I would do research this winter and then purchase in the spring. Of course, this is a good time to get a good deal. But you don't want to...

We are in the town of Gay which is 20 minutes from Ripley. Moved here about five years ago from CT.

I won't be able to tell you until after we butcher these. We have sold all the piglets that were born here. We've sold all over the state and even in Virginia. We sold three to a family in Markham, VA not too far from our daughter who lives in Centreville. She was able to deliver our last...

Thank you all for the welcome. I live in WV and my vet is in Louisanna. I have a homeopathic vet and am quite happy with him. He has helped me with several animals.

Using Almond oil is extremely good for this. I use it on my cats and I would assume that mites will be the same on rabbits. The almond oil is very light and it is not a chemical. The mineral has petroleum in it and not a good idea. I used to be a dog groomer and that's what I used.

Just wanted to say hi. I have been reading on the BYC site for sometime but have been looking for any forum that would give me more info on all the animals we have. I have no chickens or turkeys, yet. I do have Guineas and I love them they are so much fun to watch. And I do have Muscovies...

Hi, I just found this forum today and was looking around and saw that someone owned Mulefoot Hogs. We have been raising them for almost two years, now. We have two boars and three sows, and one gilt. We have a litter on the ground that is getting ready to go. We should have another one...
