04/25/2020

Hello everyone, I hope all is well with you all. It has been many years in the plans but I thought I would never get it. We are starting to clear a space for a 16 ft. walk-in refrigeration unit. I needs some TLC but at least it is bought. I will see if the other part of my plan will take off in the future.

04/24/2020

Well I have a story to tell today. We bought cattle from the neighbor. They also bought a couple of piglets from me. So when they were up to deliver the cattle they picked up there piglets. So when they left the farm the piglet were making noise because they were separated. Not to long after they left I got a message. The boys had let the piglet out in the pen. One of the piglets went right though the square panel and across the driveway. Mind you across the driveway is a pond. They all started for it, and the pig said no way. It swam across the pond and up the other side it went. I started heading down the driveway. She said it was like the piglet was heading back to my house. After a little chasing they got it back in the pen. I just didn't know I had pigs that were taught to swim. I wonder a new selling point? lo Glad everything worked out.

04/21/2020

I will have more piglets in June. I have a sow due May 1. I will post pictures when they get her.

04/10/2020

I have 6 berkshire cross piglets. They are up for grabs. $150 each

04/05/2020

Well I got home with them. The bad news is that I only got 10 for sale. Two I will not sell because they are hurt. The person I got them from didn't tell me that until I was down there. I hope I have enough.

04/04/2020

Ok everyone that is on my list for piglets. I am going to pick up 12 of them in the morning. This is all I am going to be able to get I think. I will be contacting you for pick up times. Please get your pens ready.

Hello everyone, As some of you know that I have a list of people that want Piggies. Well I think I have filled the list with pigs. I didn't have enough piggies to fill the list. I thought I had some to fill the list. After trying to call this person for 2 weeks now I have given up on this person. I by chance he calls me and said I have piggies I will deal with that if it happens. So today I set out to find piggies for everyone. I traveled for 4 and half hours to go to an auction. They could not tell me if any piglets would be there. There was not one piglet that made it to the auction. I talked to people and got some leads. I called people and traveled farther. I missed a great bunch of piglets by a couple hours. I was losing hope. Well this same person said that he had a litter born a couple days ago. I went to look at them. In the time I talked to him and going to see them, there was another litter born. These litter were 5 each. I bought them. He also have another litter due any day. I bought them also. I think I will have enough piglet to fill everyone that is on the list. Now this being said it will be a month before they are ready to go. Please remember I don't know this person so I went on his word that he will not sell them out from under me. So everyone please pray that everything goes as planned.

02/12/2020

To everyone that is on the list for piggies. I have 5 ready to go. They are 5 weeks old. Dad is Duroc and York. Nice looking piglet.
