Days 72 & 73: Rambuctious Piggies

Weather: nice! warm with a breeze, and lots o' sun.

So here's the low-down:

My pigs aren't getting fed enough to keep them from being overly excited (to the point of repeatedly bursting through a 4.5v strong double strand electric fence).

Solutions to keeping them a) contained and b) growing:

1) replace the thin polywire with either polyrope or polytape
2) start bringing the pigs scraps (coordinate with the other people raising pigs on campus this summer to ensure my pigs get priority, seeing as they're the only ones that belong to the school)
3) increase their feed prematurely to 16lbs/feeding.
4) wish for the best.
