We're getting a couple of pigs. The SC Markett Bulletin last week had advertised a couple good deals (the other was for pygmy goats.) We have a little fence work to do, and I need to fit a pen for the back of my truck to bring the 9-week old pigs home. Then we're all set. I go to pick them up early next week. I think they'll be ready to slaughter in August or so.
We are tempted by the pygmy goats too. They are just in milk, come with kids, and the best price we have seen. The owner has a large herd and wants to cut it in half. If we got a few, we would milk them (we use 2-3 gallons a day) any male kids I would cut and then raise for meat. We are praying about it. We can hire someone to come out and feed the animals, but maybe not milk them.
Til tomorrow.
Oremus pro invicem!
