    Pigs

    Who on here owns pigs? Had 2 female pigs given to me a few weeks ago, now they are 11 weeks old. My plan is to have them breed, move them to a pond about a quarter mile from my house, is this too close for the smell? They will have about an acre field to run around in.

    Price for a newborn

    I had a heifer calve born whose mother abandoned it, I gave it colastrum, then bottle feed it for a couple days. So, it was about 4 days old, I sold it for $100.00, the buyer was way to eager to pay that price, whats the going price for a calve that old?
