OK Marigold here's a livestock question that I think we can hopefully all agree on ....

Piglets are very cute!!!!

[little blue]

Now then, dont let sentiment get in the way of a good debate.
Actually, yes they are! Not so keen on the ones with very long snouts (durocs)

[marigold]

Brilliant!!!!!   I agree wholeheartedly - piglets are very cute!!!!!!
Now I'll try one...........Sacks of pig nuts are very heavy...........

[little blue]

Yes! buy mash mix instead (can mix it up with whey from goats cheesemaking!) its lighter and cheaper, and smells delicious

[marigold]

mmmmmmmm
sounds delish!

sugar beet smells yum, but tastes blummin awful!!!

Hey Little blue, tell me why you don't like the Durocs?

"Keeping aninmals is a big responsibility and should not be taken on unless you are
prepared to do some research and learning - pigs especially are not like sheep - you
cannot just leave them in a field. 

I am totally amazed at some questions asked on here - it is obvious that some people have not
looked at a book or investigated the requirements pigs have from some of these questions."

do you not think thats why people are asking questions on here its to gather the required information.

I think you could be right, Relic, the Internet is the new 'library', but I still agree with Julie that newcomers to ANY species or breed should READ before - not after they have an animal and start to have problems!

Whatever its lovely that so many people ask questions on here and so many are able to answer them.

Hey Little blue, tell me why you don't like the Durocs?

Nooo! don't "not like" them, just prefer a shorter snout!!
My Kunes have lovely little faces, and delish eyelashes, better looking than some people I know!
Pigs are great, and piglets are gorgeous

Pigs are great, and piglets are gorgeous

True enough, I waste spend far too much time watching them enjoying life - such happy animals 

[little blue]

Murphy our boar has taken to sleeping with his tongue hanging out... had to keep going out and poking him to check he's still alive!
Think its growing pains... he's certainly doing plenty of that

[Hilarysmum]

Our large black does the same, although he snores and passes wind so we know he is alive.

Sounds like my other half LOL!
