I think John did a great job making the most out of what he had to work with. If only it was this easy to potty train my own 3 little piggies. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Today, one of our gilt piglets flew to Wisconsin. in a jet plane! However, the young "cattleman" (and his girlfriend) showed up an hour late in a volkswagen beetle bug! The willing farmer's wife.
