Title: Pine Cones
Post by: Wildman on April 03, 2008, 09:30:09 pm

Hi, Can anyone tell me if Pine Cones are OK for pigs. I know acorns are but not to sure if pine cones are or if they will come out in the meat. I want to put some pigs in our woods, a small plantation of very tall xmass trees. Can you help. Thanks

Pine cones wont hurt them, they will dig them around, play with them, I dont think they will eat them though.
