Hi everyone,

Just a quick introduction.
I am now the (nervous) owner of 2 3 month old Yorkshire(at least, I think they're yorkshire) sows.

Just bought them on Thursday, with the intention of rearing them for slaughter, so I can have bacon and pork the way it used to taste. (and ideally, minus the level of antibiotics/ doses that the mass produced stuff contains).

I plan to rear them free range, though I know nothing about rearing pigs (Help!).
I was raised on a farm, though, where we kept cattle, sheep and horses, so I have some idea of raising animals. I just don't know anything about pigs LOL.

Hoping to learn as much as possible.

Donard.
