    Rzr Motor Replacement

    There are too many video resources and printed literature available today to say that rebuilding a Polaris engine is harder than R&R. You say it is beyond you mechanical capabilities? I say you haven't given yourself time to learn the skills. If the kid has ripped stuff apart and has no...

    Any hog farmers on here?

    Got tired of waiting on the breeder I had been in contact with and started looking at Craigslist. Found a farm that was selling pure bred Berkshire hogs. Will pick them up Wednesday morning. Have been looking all over the place for soy free feed and had come to the conclusion that I would...

    Season prep has gone to the extreme

    Knew a guy several years ago who thought he had back issues. Several doctors had led him to believe that he would be in his level of pain for the rest of his life. He had loved golf and was in such a way that he couldn't even bear to ride in a golf cart let alone swing a club. For some reason...

    Speaking of chainsaws and butchering.... The same cousin that was arrested for the cow eating the neighbors garden was assisting in the butchering of a sheep. When the bone saw couldn't be located to split the carcass, said cousin fired up his chainsaw (which he kept in his bedroom closet) and...

    Do you work with a breeder? When is your butcher date? do you do them yourself?

    Ditching the Dip

    Stocked up on carrots, celery and apples. Bought tons of gum and hard candy as well. As a dentist I am sure the candy and gum are frowned on however, I am sure my dentist will appreciate not having to scale the nasty black off the back of my front teeth.

    Ditching the Dip

    I have heard that quitting an addiction has to be for you rather than someone else. I have also heard that telling others about your attempt creates an accountability complex. I quit alcohol cold turkey almost 30 years ago and decided to quit smoking at the same time. I was sharing my journey...

    Any hog farmers on here?

    As a teenager my cousin was raising a steer. It kept getting out and eating the neighbors garden. He was arrested for failure to control a domesticated animal after the umpteenth time it happened. When my Uncle went to get him out of jail, my cousin asked my Uncle to come back after dinner as...

    The neighbor kid who raised fair pigs has all the equipment I will need. He has the feed bin as well as "slop bowls" and the watering equipment. When I asked to borrow it he gave it to me as he has "aged out" of the fair circuit. I will be returning it to him when we are done though as I don't...

    Have seen spent grain for sale on Market Place and have considered it based on the cheap price for amount you get. I talked with a produce guy years ago about getting expired produce for my compost pile. He told me they couldn't give it away anymore because the pig farmer that used to take it...

    I have already told her that she is not allowed to name the pigs or spend too much time with them. She understands that they are only here for a short time and that we will enjoy them even after they are gone.

    I see several posts related to electric fence. Several videos also recommend electric fence. Do you use electric fence alone or do you run a hot wire inside hog panels to keep them from pushing against the panels? As far a nutrition goes, do you soak your feed? If offering a mix of dry feed...
