This is the fourth video in my Animals on the Homestead Series.
ANIMALS ON THE HOMESTEAD VIDEO 4 – PIGS
A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER
Pigs can be used for other purposes besides just food.
Pigs will eat waste food and garden scraps.
Some varieties of pigs have lost a lot of their maternal instinct.
Not all dietary restrictions allow for the consumption of pig products.
Pigs can grow very large and become harder to manage or interact with.
Pigs can be used to till soil and prepare garden areas.
Pigs are intelligent and can be trained.
Piglets can be sold as a possible source of income (as can the adults).

It kills parasites like worms but it is natural. It is made up of the pulverized remains of fossilized hard shelled sea critters.

Thanks for the info. We're thinking about a couple pigs for the homestead to clear certain areas and for food later. Making the move to our homestead in late winter.

Thanks for sharing @papa-pepper. I am always interested in the words @papa-pepper at the end of the post. I've started investing in my account, to increase the power of Steem power slowly. So that I can later reward the original work of my followers. Sorry if I'm wrong in commenting. Success to papa.

Yesterday, i got to witness a pig nursing her piglets. Though I felt bad her movement was constricted with a fence. I also witness a pig being slaughtered. Yay

I didn't know pigs could be used to till soil. Kinda put two and two together and could work it out, but I didn't. Great tip been a veggie probably wouldn't eat them, but different situation being all organic and happy maybe I would. Anyway don't need to think about that yet :)

Those are some healthy looking pigs - what great pics you posted. Iv'e never raised any livestock before - it's great to see people still in touch with natural living like you share on your blog. I wish all the best for you. Keep the great pics coming - it lets me live vicariously through your blog.

you have to be careful because the mother sometimes lies down and crushes the little pigs
