We all want the best for our new piglets and the mamas who worked hard to birth them. We have raised hogs every year for the past 10 years. Now we have been raising farm animals, well, since we were being raised ourselves. Experience is the best teacher and we sure have a lot of it. The knowledge that we have accumulated with this experience we SHARE with fellow farmers and they, in turn SHARE with us. We are all in this TOGETHER so let’s help each other.
