It is not as easy as it may appear. I know it is alot of hard work and I can only imagine how much milking\u00a0it take to milk\u00a0a cow.<\/p>\n<p>My husband and I started raising hogs this past July. We did alot of research through the internet and books and finally decided on a breed we would like to raise. We chose Large Black Hogs originally from Cornwall, England. This breed is considered critically endangered. We chose the Large Blacks because of the critical rating but also because of their docile temperament, great mothering skills and their dark color. We live at a higher elevation and were concerned about sunburn.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image wp-image-45392\" alt=\"0811131744-00(1)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raisingjane.org\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/0811131744-001.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We LOVE raising hogs and I never knew how much fun they would be! Endeavour is our boar and his girl is Trudy. We plan on breeding to keep the breed going but also for meat. Just today after feeding them I asked who wanted to cuddle and Endeavour came over and started rubbing his face against me \ud83d\ude42 (The photo is from an earlier cuddle time.)\u201d\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome New Sisters!
