When I was a young lad, my Dad had to retire from his electrician job. My 2 oldest brothers had worked for Dad, but us 2 youngest boys were too young to do much more than hand him tools. Mom and Dad bought a farm to "keep busy" but truth be told, they wanted to instill a work ethic in me and my next oldest brother. We raised hogs until I left for college.

While I was away at college, then the Navy, then married and living far, far away, the farm didn't see much use. Just a garden in the field, a billboard over on the highway 54 side and one timber harvest. Mom and Dad lived in town. When I got divorced and moved back to the farm, I figured it might be a good idea to get it back into production.

So, 2 and a half years later, I fenced off a small patch and bought 9 feeder pigs. I've been trying to buy 10 or so more pigs each month. I now have 42 head and 10 ready for market. (plus one in my freezer, one in Mom's freezer and one sold to a customer)
