We did have 2 pigs. So we fenced our garden with about 3 or 4 strands of electric fence. Waited until a nice dewey morning, turned the fence on, and let them out. They walked up to the fence and smelled it with their nose. "SNAP" the fence got them. they squealed, but didn't get out. they had a grand time rooting through the garden. Friends and family would stop by and ask us when we got the garden plowed and where was the new tractor? We just laughed and told them of our garden plowing pigs! Worked for us!

Wait until she weighs 350 to 400lbs and shoves on you! Our two pigs( BTW I posted a picture of them yesterday on our blog) push and shove, but I just push and shove back and I've even been known to slug them on the snout if they get to rough. They aren't trying to be mean, that's just how the act with each other. Our pigs love to be scratched, especially their bellies, they lay down and spread open their legs and just sigh when we scratch them. Pigs are the funniest animals we've ever owned, such personalities. I wish we could put our pigs in the garden spot, but the fencing isn't good enough to hold them and I don't want to be chasing 400lb pigs around the neighborhood!LOL! Blessings from, The Never Done farm Happy New Year!

As they discuss their careers, manicures, and designer clothes, I say " Well the other day when I was hanging diapers on the line. The pig did the cutest thing." They all look at me with utter shock and disgust. I also think people must think I'm crazy :) Crazy is fun though!
