Hansel & Greg are growing well. Dan's dad came out recently and helped Dan build a shelter inside the lean-to for the hogs. Just a windbreak-type thing, but enough to give them a cozy place to snuggle into the straw at night. We are keeping half a hog for our freezer and have sold the other half, but still have a whole or two halves to sell. I really don't know where we are on pricing yet, since this is our first time raising hogs; but we should have a good idea closer to processing at the beginning of December. The hogs have had a very large pen to run around in, and everyday they have had a combination of garden leftovers in addition to their mash. Tomatoes have been their favorite! They also like pears, apples & nuts.
