Hi - I'm new to both pig keeping and this website.
I started with 4 Tamworth weaners, 2 of which are now sitting in the freezer having been finished to pork weight. The other 2 I am taking up to bacon weight. They have now reached a size where they flip their water bowl out of its tyre as a pastime. I have tapped a large beer barrel and inserted drinking nipples, but they are reluctant to use them. I've adjsted the flow to maximum and coated them in peanut butter which was licked off with relish. Still not keen to drink though. The barrel was thoroughly cleaned and the water is fresh. Any suggestions?
Also, suggested weight to finish Tamworths for bacon?
