Meanwhile, the piggers are growing well on a diet of fodder, although I am surprised that they consume daily a whopping 45-50 pounds of the munchy green barley sprouts. To avoid waste we feed three times a day which is fun because they hear my voice and get so excited knowing it means food. We bought a small mineral block which I see them trying to nibble, it's hanging in a holder nailed to the wooden gate post. We put a new feed trough as they have outgrown the smaller one. Now they have half of a 40 gal hotwater tank, cut length wise, it's long enough so that all three pigs climb in to eat.
