Do you mix and match or did they have a party without you knowing it?

Just one gets lonely... surely Boss can hook you up with a few 'feeders'. The trick is if you are going to name them use something like pig 1, pig 2 or ham, sausage and bacon.
I took mine to the slaughterhouse the day before I moved to Texas. Word has it they were too lean... too much grain, not enough swill.

I love pork as good as anybody but I have been around hogs my whole life and still get regularly asked to help my dad with his. There is no more miserable work on earth than working with hogs. It is truly a job that is "never done!"

I don't know that I will raise hogs. I've threatened to a couple of times but that don't mean much. I'm always bouncing ideas around in my head. I've had the cub idea for years and just recently got into them.
I'm mainly concentrating on raising my boys, and part of that is teaching them WHERE food comes from and HOW to get it for themselves if they ever need to. There isn't enough education on that kind of thing anymore. I grew up in a rural area and there were still a lot of small farms around when I was a kid. Now, most of them have been sold and turned into subdivisions. I want to expose my boys to the same things I was so they can pass along the same thing to their kids hopefully.
And, I want them to have a good work ethic when they get grown, and farmers are some of the hardest working people you will ever find!

Good reasons to do so, especially for your boys. I guess that is where I learned my work ethic. There were, though, many days where I wished we had 1,000 acures of tobacco, all of which I had to top & sucker by myself, instead of having to work with hogs!
