RE: We Got Fresh Bacon Bits 🐖🐖🐖🐖

in #homestead6 years ago

Piggies love bread. Used to stop at the used bread store routinely....

When I was a kid and we had cows to milk we fed our pigs several gallons of skim milk per day. Generally with cracked grain. They grew fast and sweet! Another thing. They love apples but will turn themselves inside out for squash....

I loved raising pigs. They are truly pleasant animals to have around, and oh so tasty in the fall....

Sort:  

We are trying to find sources of milk, but there are no dairy’s in Alaska anymore. All our milk is shipped in from the lower 48. So it’s all about talking to stores before the dump it in the garbage.
I wish we had apple orchards around here, but mostly it’s u-pick farms or private ones. Apple trees are hard to grow, I have gotten them to grow to about three inches and they died on me. It may be time to try again.
Pigs are awesome animals. Pumba would play with our dogs and chase them. He truly was a good pig. He didn’t taste to half bad either
