Pig project

So Micheal Sullivan and I have started the pig project for the fall. We are taking four different breeds of pigs and comparing and contrasting. We plan on curing all of them and comparing the way they cure as well. We will be video recording most of it forArtofthebutcher.com(cochon555 and Primal) which is a awesome company that Brady has established and " the reverend of fat" Micheal Sullivan will have more to do with in the near future.







All four together starting in upper left Mangalista, Berkshire/Meishan cross, full Berkshire and a Tamworth

Worm composting


Jeff Ross and I have had this project on the back burner for to long and finally have gotten to work on it. We started with an old apple crate and Lined it with a pond liner and a spout to be able to tap the "compost tea", we then put milk crates in to separate the feeding cycles and lined it with newspaper. We took some food scrapes and old hay and distributed it into a few of the milk crates and added the worms. We keep the top covered with a blanket to keep it dark and to insulate.
