easttxchick: I'm not sure where Hardin county is. I'm more in central east Texas. Henderson county. DH's grandsons live across the pasture, so they come and help feed if they get their homework done quick enough after school. They come every week-end to help clean waterers and such. They have...

I found this website about the Australia mini pigs. It was interesting to find out how people all over the world like to deceive prospective customers with mis-information about mini pigs. I see it all the time here. I raise pot-belly pigs and I have some that stay relatively small and some...

I've had so many things to tend to since I first posted this. WOW!!! Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, hugs, & encouragement. The words to that song were very moving. The response from all of my BYC friends...old and new...was overwhelming. Thank you doesn't seem enough to cover the...

Thank you so much for your prayers and good thoughts. He was a good man. It is hard to stay positive, but I have to do it in order to go on without him. He could do anything. Now I will have to figure out a lot myself, including building the pens I need for the 94 chicks I just hatched. He...

My sweetie has passed away. He got his leg broke by a cow at the sale barn where he works part-time. She crushed the fibula bone close to his ankle, being hard-headed as he was, he went on working for 2 days without going to the doctor. After he finally did, he complained of an upset stomach...

I like Precious...but DH thinks "Snowball"!!! Jean

This guy is an attorney? Well, he should know better than to ask for something in return for something advertised as free. Although, maybe he did just remember you, wanted to do some trading and really doesn't know how it works. If I were you, I would explain that since the bench was...

Well, you don't have to lose your card or have someone steal it to have this happen. DH checked his balance over the phone this spring and he jumped up and said he would be back in a little while. I didn't know what was going on. When he came home, he said "Well, I know why I am so overdrawn at...

It is very possible that she is pregnant. Make sure she is safely away from the boars. They can kill the piglets while they are being born if they get into her pen. Once they are up and running around good, the boars usually don't bother them anymore if they have enough room. I moved all my...

Are they on the ground or in a cage? Jean

The easiest way is to wait until they have roosted for the night, and just pick him up. Then put him into a cage or small pen. At 19 weeks, he shouldn't have any spurs, so that won't be a concern. Jean

Happy Birthday anyway!!! Jean

I used to love costume classes! When 101 Dalmatians made a comeback... I dressed as the bandit My mare was Cuella De'Ville (spelling). I painted her front legs red (for her red gloves). striped her mane black and white. I led a washed out palomino gelding, painted with black spots and a collar...

I found this site that tells a little bit about them. Jean
