Our pigs this year are a cross of 1/2 Tamworth, 1/4 Large Black, and 1/4 Blue Butt mix. We have not raised this specific cross before, but are told that the Tamworth lends itself to some very juicy bacon.
Right now we have them in one of the barn stalls to help aerate the compost and we are slowly training them to respect a fence so that we can put them onto pasture. They eat a varied diet of weeds, bugs, and local organic feed.
They seem quite content with their new home and I think I even saw them smile yesterday while they were eating.
