Oct 14, 2008 · Thank you very much for your help. I have a person from the feed store that comes out and takes them to the butcher. $65.00 each pig. I will take notes and maybe I can do it myself next time. Being my 1st time I think it best to let a more experianced person do the deed.

We got one of the smaller ones (not the one that got out) and ringed her nose around 8:30 last night and decided to wait till morning to do the others. I went to check on them this morning and she had foam coming from her mouth.

Dec 16, 2013 · Since the surprise litter of babies, the boar has been acting strange. He is "kneading" the ground like a cat, jaw chomping and foaming a bit at the mouth when we are around, and is a little pushier than normal.

Don't be in a hurry to buy learn how to raise them first and their needs.
