American Mulefoot Hogs

 A few weeks ago we went and picked up a trio of  Registered American Mulefoot Hogs for the farm. We are hoping to breed the new ones come June which will set us up for October farrowings. 

Both of the gilts are checking out the bucket. 

Our young boar is a sweet boy who loves to get treats. 

4 days of winter rain has made a muddy mess

Back at the feeders

We have had hogs in the past. We have raise American Guinea hogs and Mangalitsa hogs. AGH just did not provide enough meat for us. Mangs had no registry in the US when we had them.

Our mulefoots are registered. We know by getting registered stock that they are what we say they are. We are hoping for our first litters to be born in the Winter of 2022.

New Year

 

The new poultry coop and hoop run are being finished.  The chickens and turkeys are loving the new space. The geese and ducks will be getting a new space in a few more weeks. 

Our Pedigreed American Rabbits are in new digs as well. Hanging cages under a roofed hut. We have tarps hanging behind and on the sides to cut out the wind. Hopefully have several litters of babies shortly. 

We managed to get a new isolation pen built. The trio of  registered Mulefoot Hogs that just arrived last weekend will remain in there until we get a few other building projects done.
