0149 Pig castration and boar taint, pastured chickens and vegetable garden farm !updates
Since we are in the busy time of year it's just another update show around the farm! We talk about the process and the reasons why we castrate our piglets. We also share the history of why we are so sure to do the castrations when we do them. Then we talk about the pastured chickens, the egg layers and the vegetable gardens. We wrap up with the latest beekeeping / bee swarm update.
