Tagged and logged (in Evans and on website) some recent keeper sows. Added some others to my For Sale page. I have several reserved, now to get people to actually pick them up! The winter is so tough on pig sales!
One person was really interested but would need pigs shipped. I told her I don't ship, because No. 1 it is a pain in the ass not worth the chunk of my time, and No. 2 I don't think any pig is worth the low price of the pig plus the high cost of shipping and accoutrements plus the time lost that I could have been doing something more productive, like selling a pig to someone within a 2-hr drive. I'm fortunate to live close to a popular region pig-wise.
Meanwhile a young MM sow popped out a MM clone baby compliments of her dad who didn't like being separated from his family and climbed back in (apparently chimney-climbing the water bottle and food dish) for 2.5 seconds--just long enough to nail his offspring. Ugh.
Still have more to inventory, but it's nice to see some fresh faces on my sow pages.
