After cleaning it dh wasn't getting home fast enough for my mind so i went and tied her to a tree and cleaned it.

It doesn't have to be raw honey, the medical honey used for wounds is not raw honey.

Oh ok thank you

 

[Bruce]

That looks nasty
Why do you leave the halter on?

 

[Jesusfreak101]

I normally use it when she been deciding to head butt me she got me pretty good in the thigh as we walked to the field this morning the halter was a easy way for w to get control of her. She thinks she should still be nursing so she still tries. It's been helping with training her. I been checking pretty much every day so I am not sure how I missed it. Either way it what i am dealing with now. She very upset with me about getting sprayed with bluekota. Farmerjan advice.

Other not I need to cut some tin but the pig house is about done need to add the side panels. Got pretty hot today, trying to get as much outside done as i can so that I can not worry about come Monday and Tuesday with 103° heat

 

[farmerjan]

Don't put sides on anything that you don't have to so they get any cross air they can. Since your pigs are "little" they are not as destructive as "normal" sized ones and won't tear it apart like a Duroc or York or any of theose big hogs. Shade and mud for them in the heat.

True i think i was also thinking about rain we get alot of side ways rain. An i can add sides in winter if it gets to cold

At the rate Sally is going some one going to have to go. She broke in again this morning to priss's pen and i dont know how. She very determined to get rid of priss. So gonna finish Sally birthing pen today and lock her cranky butt in it. This is ridiculous, if she doesnt settle down one of them is going to have to go. Unforantly its hard to decide which as i am somewhat attached to priss and she a bigger pig, or Sally which i know what breed she is. She not a pet me pig(neither are) but she calm enough around people and the kids. She come up for treats and is currently pregnant so she gets a pass for now. But if she be like this every pregnancy ugh no no no i don't have that kinda of time to build non stop pens and if then other three females act that way Lord help me cause I will lose it. So far she hasn't climbed the fencing but i been told she can..houdin pigs..
Update on little lady she in a good mood this morning wanting to play i don't play cow games and getting her to knock it off is alot harder when i can concerned about hurting her with the wound and with out the halter. I am going to be seeing another method works better today we see what works and go from there. So far her wound doesnt look to bad but hard to see with the blue not a the flies keep trying to get in it.

Well Sally in her own pen now. All the critter are feed and have water. I am as red as an apple from being to hot. But the pig is stuck and has hay going to pick up feed from store in an hr or so need to cook off and have lunch.
