Deuteronomy 11:18-19

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Deuteronomy 11:18-19

Berkshire Piggies!!


Here are so pictures of the 'girls'. They are from about 5 different litters which is why they are different sizes. . I'll try and get a better pic soon. They all have different markings on their faces. So far we love them. They are grazers and will pull up a plant like a cow and munch on it and only till lightly after they graze!! They are also like a Bindy when we move them and readily move to the next piece without a fuss!! They eagerly look forward to moves. All the pink pigs we've ever had have never enjoyed moving like these girls. It was often a fight to move them at all. They are also VERY smart and are trained to 2 wires already. Today if it stays nice they will get a new larger pen with just 2 wires instead of the little electric netting fences they have had. We do this because it's easier to build around trees and can be any size and because we need the electric netting for the meat birds. This is one of the smaller girls. See the white on all 4 feet and the white on her nose!!
