the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Good Little Gilt of our Litter of Perfection (see last years post for some of her when she was first born. She must be about 200 lbs, as with the other 2 gilts and the single lil' boar. For those interested, we have decided to experiment with the practice of not castrating. We believe in the humanity of it and think we can overcome Boar taint with the simplicity of our breed and keeping some distance between our uncasterated boars and any females. Note: we will be keeping the boar meat for ourself until this experiment is proven one way or another...those of you who buy from us need not worry~!
The Bad BillyBoar, the escapee Mr. Purple laying in his bed of feed. He left his barn digs, broke the shoot of the feeder, dropped over a ton ($200+) of feed on the snow and made a bed in the sun..meanwhile, we are still sleeping on hand-me-down, free mattresses. i long for the day to spend 200 bucks on a new bed!

The Ugly... yeah, I know...what is it. Yesterday I was looking for some specific screws in Joey's junk drawer. We have separate junk drawers because, although I like mine messy...I don't like it messy like his. Anyways, I reached in and grabbed a wire and this came out...Just exactly like this...there is a necklace someone made him from before we met, 2 cell phone cords (we haven't had cells in over 4 years), string, dental floss and the list goes on...it is so chaotic that I absolutely love it and am going to try to preserve it (like a windchime, perhaps)...any suggestions?
