Good to hear things are doing and going well for ya, it is a busy time of life, and seems to get even busier, but it is much better to be busy, than to be idle and bored. Glad the animals are doing and looking good and am sure you'll have a big time at the convention....will be looking for your pics, too....

The hogs have gone to have their "bad day". Yesterday afternoon they were dropped off at the USDA approved slaughter house. Both pigs are going to be used in three different restuarants in NY. I must admit the though has occured to me that there is a possibility we did something wrong in feeding and that the pork wont be top quality. But there is also a part of me that after raising them for so long and knowing every aspect of their care I am pretty confident they will be great. And don't worry! We are going to get a cut of the pork as well once it is processed!

Priscilla is now a lone lady who no longer has to fight with the nasty boys to eat. We are looking for a boar for her and a ram for the ewes so you should all look forward to lots of babies in spring.

It would be nice if the time spent with them turns out to be worth the while.....and at least ya will be able to sample the results. Are y'all looking to buy a ram, or just borrowing one? Also, are ya sticking with a Mangalista for Priscilla?

I think we are borrowing, not sure. And yes pure mangy babies are what we are going for!

 

[luvmypets]

Pork pickup is tomorrow, we are going to be delivering the portions all throughout NYC.

Also our miss pig is very lonely and has continued to escape so we brought her in for the night. She is nervous but doing alright. I must say she is the absolute sweetest thing.

I am waiting on a taste report! I know how hard you have worked with these pigs and what good care you have given them. Take a picture of your plate BEFORE you eat it all up!

I pick up acorns for my pigs too. One year we went to the city park and raked up itty bitty pecans that nobody was picking up, and gave those to the pigs.
