So
You Think You Want to Keep Pigs?
Uploaded January 2005
Difficulties with sick
or farrowing sows will always occur just as you are ready to go out
for the evening or last thing at night when all you want to do is
fall into bed.
Have you noticed the
looks and the fact that no one stands to close to you when you have
just popped into the local shop quick, in your wellies.
Why is it that they
always manage to tip you and the bucket into the wettest muddy bit
in the field?
The tyre on the barrow
does not go down until you have a full load on.
They only ever escape
when you are either in. a hurry or late at night when you have just
settled on tie sofa with your cocoa.
And they can't possibly
fit back through the hole that they made its just not big enough!
If you think it's
indestructible, think again: it's not!
They always squash the
nice big gilt with the right markings and good underline and not the
little runty thing that's never going to grow.
The January litter
always seem to end up as February's
It will wait to chuck it
down with rain until you are going out of the door.
