Overrun with beasties
Hi, I just wanted to show you guys our pig set up. We live in the Mojave Desert, and it can get really hot, so I will go out and hose them off in their shaded area (keeps them from using the bathroom in the mud) a couple times on the hottest days. They are digging a hole under the water nipples so we're going to fill the hole with some large rocks. We don't want a stinky wallow. The pen is 100x50ft and I have found that with this much space they don't smell at all. We have the big intact hog, 2 sows and a castrated hog to be slaughtered. We used concrete mesh from Home Depot for the pen and put a strand of hot wire along the bottom so they won't dig out. We are going to divide the pen for breeding. We also are going to build a pen identical right next to it. That's going to be our garden and the pigs will winter in it, rooting up all the dead plants. Then in the spring they'll go back over here and we'll replant.
never mind the goat. She's my little tag along.

It's good to have a tag along.
