[QUOTE="wablacktoplady, post: 547766, member: 8290"] I have a small farrowing operation here in washington state and raise them on calf milk several times a year. If I don't have time I get them well started then find someone who wants them and sell them. I am not fond of sawdust for the pigs. They can inhale it like older pigs do if they have a lot of dust in their pens sometimes and can cause dust pneumonia. I keep mine in the house in a box with a light of some kind for extra warmth they like 80-90degrees. I use old towels under them until I feel they can go out at about 3 weeks. I put them in a small penright outside the back door with a heat lamp in a dog house, water bowl and some kind of ground feed and start them on a routine feeding schedule only in the daytime instead of free feeding in the house. When they are with the moms they have begun to eat feed at around 2-3 weeks and I wean at 5 weeks. [/QUOTE]
