Farmington, Mo
Haven’t had sows since 2002…all equipment is gone or junk. Got an old cargill finisher floor left…no shelter, waterers or feeders left, just concrete.

Have had a helluva lot of trouble finding feeder pigs for my kids for the fair this year. Maybe it’s brain damage but I’m considering buying some gilts and a boar and raising a few litters every year just to secure a feeder pig supply for my kids.

The way it looks, I should be able to sell whatever extra I have…

Talk me out of it, please
