we usually give them a bag of corn once or twice a week as we raise them, they like it and it's cheaper than feed here, but we don't feed them straight corn the last couple weeks like a lot do, I found ours get bored of it quick and they end up wasting a lot. I did start giving them something called backyard 14 I think? It's feed with molasses and corn flakes, they get that as a treat and seem to like it

Sounds good. These get the corn in addition to the pig feed. A friend owns a restaurant and I get all the veggie scraps from her food prep. I know she's clean and I

can trust her so its a plus. :-)

So I wasn't happy with keeping them penned in the barn, they didn't seem to happy either

so I decided to move them to our original pen, there no way they are getting out of there *crosses fingers*

so we moved them over, and it ends where it began, amazing the difference in a few short months
