We fenced in a small dirt patch with a shelter in the corner of a large yard. That's it. <br /><br />Stay away from a sow with babies.

I think you'll have a lot of fun with a pig or two. I have the same worries if I get one... I'll end up naming it, and training it, then will I have enough gumption to have the pig play out its main purpose for being here in the first place? Same with chickens. I look forward to reading your brewing new adventures!The Kelly's Adventures in KYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16645107231194722019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-82831280290289063972014-01-13T17:47:33.062-08:002014-01-13T17:47:33.062-08:00Hubby's family raised cows, pigs, chickens, an...Hubby's family raised cows, pigs, chickens, and turkeys. The pig pen was not that far from the house.<br />About 50 yards. I just asked him and he said they smelled, so I would say farther than that, haha.<br /><br />But with all the trees and bushes and stuff you have, that should help, too.<br /><br />I've also read that if you have an area you want to cultivate, that is hard to get through - like roots and stuff - put your pigs there for a while and they should be able to take care of it.<br /><br />I am hoping to find some Tamworth pigs because I have read they are excellent bacon pigs, and know how to forage, too.<br /><br />Good luck and congratulations! Things are looking great, Lana!LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.com
