Guinea hogs grazing out back
After having the pigs in the front yard for the past few months it was an exciting day for all of us to get them moved out back. They certainly did their job out front rototilling the new garden area but it was time for them to fade into the background a bit. I think they enjoyed the move as much as I did. I have to say I found myself over explaining the pigs in the front yard thing. One moment I felt like this enlightened, environmentally responsible person and the next like I was this ridiculous person straight out of that silly sitcom Green Acres sans the denim overalls. So with all that ambiguity going on in my head about pigs in the front yard it's a good thing they aren't there anymore.
I am moving them into the wooded area at the back of my property but they can also have limited access to the grassy area between the woods and the house now which is where they were today. I had heard they weren't really rooters but they did quite a good job of rooting out front for me. But in the larger area of grass today they never rooted at all which is great because I didn't want that area torn up. They just grazed . I must say I enjoy having the pigs much more than I ever thought I would. They are so friendly and I love the idea that even my weeds don't go to waste anymore. And their size couldn't be anymore perfect for my little property.
