I'm going to preface this with reminding everyone that we are NOT a sanctuary. We are a small farm with the primary goal of feeding ourselves good home grown foods. Now onto the main post...
We have kept her to ourselves for about a week now. Meet Pork Chop our super cheap, kinda impulse, auction buy, little gilt (young female pig). Porkchop is a mixed breed pig, and all we really know is there is some kind of mini breed in there from her sow (mother). But for twelve dollars and some change she was hard to pass up.
Now, Pork Chop (aka piggie chop, choppy pigs, and Chopsies) has two possible outcomes here at the farm, and I originally wasn't going to introduce her because of the original reason we bought her. We originally bought her for 4th of July ribs, but she's turning into quite a sweet little lady. So now why am I introducing her? Welp, we decided if she stays a sweet lady and respects her fencing as a big pig she will get to stay, get a buddy, and be our own breeding sow for bacon bits; and if she ends up staying I'd like to let y'all stay updated on her. However, if she becomes a rude or mean big pig, or tears through the hog fencing she will be our next freezer pig. For now though she's beginning to really love life as a pasture piglet, loving her belly scratches, and is loving her non-meat food scraps and grower mash. No matter which outcome she ends up getting though, we are going to raise her with love, and only one bad day if she ends up being a freezer pig
