Hello!
Weather today is fairly warm, but with a crisp fall feel in the wind.
Truth be told, I'm frustrated. The piglets won't stay in their fencing, no matter how hot it is or how tight the strands are to each other, delivering a strong shock.
I'm going to put up a 3rd line this evening in an attempt to keep them in, but my hopes aren't high.
The good news is that they haven't figured out how to go gallivanting about the farm yet. So far, they're confined to the area of permanent fencing.
Annnnd...the official weigh in of the biggest male pig: 92.48lbs. I was way off in my previous estimate. So they're growing! And that means their feed should be upped even more! Maybe soon they'll stop escaping.
Finally, I leave tomorrow for the NOFA conference in Amherst, MA and then I'm off to Iowa to visit friends for a few days. So, no updates probably until the 30th! The pigs will be in good hands though. I'll be leaving tips for the people staying over break to tend the animals.
