Jim, You're eye is very good. I had a heck of a day yesterday and will update the other thread with pics this weekend. I'm running extremly late for two different jobs that I'm supposed to be working on for clients today, and instead, I spent the morning building a pen for the pig with scrap stuff I had laying around.
I found ten feet of chicken wire and a metal wire panel in my scrap pile. I went through my wood and found some pieces of half inch plywood that were 22 inches wide. So with my Dad's help, we put in some bent up, broken t posts, stretched the chicken wire and cut the plywood to size. It's about as simple and basic as it can get!!!!
As you can see from the pictures, my cat, Luna, is either extremly curious, or wanting to make friends. My mom thinks Luna wants to eat the piglet, but I'm not so sure.
Dad is off to Walmart to get some whole milk and a baby bottle. For now, we're gonna keep it as a pet. It's totaly calmed down today and is easily handled, seems to enjoy attention and being petted.
Now I'm wondering how do you castrate an animal like a pig? and when do you do it? It's a he, but there's really nothing there to get ahold of. Any thoughts, suggestions or links that explain it to a guy who has never done anything like that, and never wanted to?
The part about country living that I really never thought about was just never knowing what will happen next out here!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,
Eddie
