Auction (rant)

Animals going off to slaughter is a fact of the livestock industry. Many are produced just for the purpose of feeding the people. It's also a way to keep the surplus of unwanted animals down.But, I agree that they should be treated humanely during the process. No one benefits if the animals are abused/treated poorly.

I have no problem with animals being raised for food or sold of slaughter. WE buy butcher pigs at auctions because I don't have the heart/guts to kill something I personally raised. I just hate to see creatures treated badly even when they are for food and farmy is right now days fokes will pay more for food raised in better conditions. I have a neighbor that has made a good living over the years raising and selling free ranged chickens and now he is expanding into other livestock and fowl as well as running a farmer's market for others to sell their good at also.

Back to the piggy-

omg Farmy you are just gathering them up like I do goats! That is too cute. She looks like a Lily to me or a Daisy ? Will she stay that little? I have only ever seen the pot bellies that are huge on tiny legs Hubby says though that you can get ones that stay little but I have never seen one.

I agree that mower means work. It is like when you bring home new shovels or other tools lol Probably works good though.

yeah she should stay that small.. I will try and get a picture of one of the groups of pigs we have they are all adults and all weigh under 50 pounds some in that group dont weigh over 30.
