We made it through the hurricane with maximum sustained winds at less than 30 MPH and not enough rain to keep the dust down. The pigs are still at the guy's house and I'll be picking them up in a few hours I think. I'll castrate today. Then I'll keep 'em in the backyard until they're too big and then I'll run them down to the ranch. I may let them go to 200 if they behave and don't cause problems.

Sbisa (dining hall) will give me slop for them. I can also feed corn so we'll see what works and what doesn't.

I would have thought that they would have some kind of Purina Hog Chow or something.

Either way, I think I'm in for a treat in November or whenever I decide to butcher (whenever it gets somewhat cold).

If I can find a butcher nearby that will do hogs, I might have it done professionally so my wife will be more inclined to eat it too.

Thanks.
