Hmmm to get more pigs or not....
« on: August 16, 2013, 11:02:51 am »
Few months ago I was going to get 2 more weaners but in the end due to a number off things I never now I am In a better situation to get them but tbh I've gone off pork! Lol I was eaten it 5 out 7 days! And now the price off pigs is just rocketed (about time too) and trying to get weaners or store pigs now isn't easy by me! I loved having the pigs around and there is a few area that could do with a tidy up tbh shall I? Shall I not? Hmmm

From what you've written i'd say NO.
Leave it until next Spring now when your heart may be more in it. Its no good entering into the committment of taking stock half heartedly, its not good for you or the animals.
If your appetite for pork returns before Spring there are loads of artisan producers who i'm sure would be happy to supply you with some porky treats.

Ditto Mandy.
If you're not 100% excited and desperate for them they'll feel like more of a chore (especially in the worse weather) the weeds and bits that need tidied up will still be there next year  ;)
