Baymules Pigs 2018 HEREFORDS!

[baymule]

I found 2 Hereford boars 4 1/2 months old on Craigslist. We went and got them today. I have long admired Hereford Hogs and am delighted to find these! As usual, I have no hog pen ready and won’t be putting them in the pasture we sprigged with Bermuda and Bahia. So I guess we better get busy!

We went to Como to pick them up and made new friends. The couple that sold them has registered Herefords, ours are 3/4 Hereford. What nice people! It was like meeting a sister I didn’t know I had! I called Devonviolet, a BYH member, on our way home. Would have loved to stop and visited with them, but in the pouring rain, we just wanted to get home.

We stopped at Tractor Supply and three people stopped to admire the pigs! They are beautiful.

are these 2 going to be for meat?

 

[seedcorn]

Butcher now? Cut them, fatten them, then butcher?

Nice little pigges how much meat do you have left from last hogs. Is there a difference between pig or hog ?

 

[baymule]

Yes, these are for meat, not going to cut them.

Still have plenty of meat, a customer wants a whole pig for Their freezer, hope to sell the other one.

Our 3 year old grand daughter named the pigs, Piper and Poodle. Piper is one of her favorite words. It’s a joke word, she pairs it up with random words and laughs. Of course we play the game and laugh too. She’ll blurt out Piper potato and we say No! Not Piper potato! Then we giggle. The game goes on, Piper Papaw, Piper Mamaw, Piper tree, Piper car and anything else that enters her mind. So now it’s Piper Pig. Poodle? Have no idea.

That's so funny, aren't kids hilarious?

When you announce you're eating poodle some night at dinner you may get a few looks.

Nice looking pigs neat color. Trying to cut them after they start growing is a chore. My brother and I castrated about 100 pound pig once and it was a war. We should have just let it be because we butched it at 7 months old it never bred anything. I learned that it near impossible to get a hog in a headlock.

Very pretty coloring on those hogs, Bay! I've always loved looking at that breed. If you buy from her for breeding purposes in the future, I'd watch those back legs close...looks like both are a little cow hocked.
