Jennifer, Are you farrowing in a crate or in a stall? We farrow in stalls so the info I am giving is based on our experience with that.

As they get older, they're getting more destructive....lifting gates & Sun, 19 Jul 2009 19:57:56 GMT antayaacres http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/PasturePigs/message/55 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/PasturePigs/message/55 Hello from Michigan!

I'm Jason Rook, and I have a small farm in Southern MO. We raise American Guinea Hogs, Fri, 29 May 2009 17:48:39 GMT Evelyn Hansen http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/PasturePigs/message/50 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/PasturePigs/message/50 We hope to do kinda-sorta the same thing, except taking the plowing out.

Rotationally graze them, supplement a couple lbs of feed per day, and then farrow them
