With fall coming on, it's almost time to get piglets. Jonah can't wait. Our country vet raises show pigs and has promised him any that don't make the grade. But since we don't know when he will call and say "come get 'em" we needed to be ready.
Jonah raised 3 pigs last year and found that feeding time
would be much easier with proper equipment:
1. a new double feeder that will hold 100 pounds of feed
The pigs push the flaps up to eat. That way the food stays clean and dry.
2. an automatic waterer so they won't tip it over and wallow in the mud
3. a new gate to match the others on the farm.
Notice we added 3 boards at the bottom to create a barrier for them when opening the gate.
4. Mom added a fresh coat of white paint to the fence and pig house. We don't know why. They are just going to get it dirty. I mean, everyone knows, a happy pig is a dirty pig!
