Then add it too their supplementary Sun, 17 Feb 2013 16:33:06 GMT rockloper http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PasturedPigs/message/5718 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PasturedPigs/message/5718 Thanks for the concern. It was just a 12" snow storm for us but I'm thinking Walter could have been hit pretty hard. Walter?

I’m glad to see fellow Tennesseans here! Where are you located, Tamara? “Show”, I’m surprised that you consider between Chattanooga & Knoxville Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:53:52 GMT Eli http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PasturedPigs/message/5713 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PasturedPigs/message/5713 I posted this last week but it seems to have not gone through, so here it is again: From: Eli Sent: Friday, February 01, 2013 1:57 PM To: Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:53:52 GMT rockloper http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PasturedPigs/message/5712 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PasturedPigs/message/5712 I'd 2nd the mangles but also does comfrey grow in your area? I think the pigs would make it self propagating as it does so by root division.

Mangles will be much better for a root veggi here in the state.

Huge feeder beets for livestock. Come in a variety of colors, as well. www.rareseeds.com has a nice variety of GMO-free livestock beets.

Between Chattanooga and Knoxville and want to plant something for the pigs to eat this fall before the acorns fall.
