Early Tuesday morning Ken and I moved the eight pigs to their new larger spot at the bottom of the hill on the way to the field. Each year Ken starts the pigs on soft soil so they can dig. Then we move them to a digging project. They tilled up the old strawberries in the garden and cleared brush north of the garden. Now they are in an area we plan to turn into a third growing space, so we have more rotation options than the garden and field.
The move went smoothly and Ken has give the pigs a wallow for cooling off when it is hot. And they like it. Pigs don't sweat like people, so a cool mud bath is just the thing.
