[QUOTE="LuckyLegs, post: 645327, member: 7316"] I just got 2 back from the butcher yesterday. Had grilled pork chops and smoked sausage last night and it was great. Fencing is key, I use cattle panels with 2 strands of electric wire on the inside stood off 5 " from the fence and roughly 6" and 18" off the ground - I have found this to thwart any rooting under the fence. Next most important thing is fresh water, pigs will make a mess with a regular water trough, so I use a 55 gallon barrel with a screw-in nipple waterer. Put it on cinder blocks and strap tot eh fence or a tree, and you have a pig proof waterer - see nipple link - [url=http://www.trojanlivestock.com/Large%20and%20Small%20Cattle.html]http://www.trojanlivestock.com/Large%20 ... attle.html[/url] Model 75 near bottom of page. Also, IMO don't run pigs and cows in the same pasture. [/QUOTE]
