This is a funny one!!?

After three crop failures in a row farmer Jones could not pay his loan at the bank. "Give me one more chance he pleaded. Don’t take my farm, we’ll be broke and homeless."
The bank manager comes up with an idea. "OK, one more chance but not with crops. No one fails at pig farming so we’ll finance the purchase of five sows to start you off. Your neighbor down the road has a boar pig and you’ll have to take your sows to him so the boar can service them. In a few months you should have a bunch of little piglets all ready for market.
Farmer Jones collects the five sows, loads them into his pickup truck, drives to his neighbor and unloads the five sows into the boar’s pen. They then go back to the farm house and have a couple of beers.
When enough time has passed they go back to the boar’s pen and load five happy sows into the pickup. Farmer Jones asks, "What if it didn’t take?"
"That never happens with my boar," replies the neighbor.
"But how can I tell for sure?"
"Look, tomorrow morning observe your sows. If they’re rolling in the mud, it took, if they’re on the grass, call me."
The following morning farmer Jones observed his sows strolling on the grass. He calls his neighbor who instructs him to bring them back. He rounds them up, loads them into the pickup and drives to the boar’s pen where the whole process is repeated.
Unlucky farmer Jones has to load them in the pickup and take them back four times. On the fifth morning he is so worried he can’t look. He stalls for half an hour then asks his wife to look. "I hope they’re not on the grass, dear."
"Well they’re not," says his wife.
"Oh finally, then they’re rolling in the mud!" exclaimed the farmer.
"No…"
"Well what are those fool sows doing?
"Well, four are trying to climb into the pickup and the fifth managed to climb into the cab and is trying to honk the horn!!!"
A friend e-mailed this one to me. I thought it was Funny!!

Been thinking about purchasing a piglet…?

So, I have recently heard of these ADORABLE, wonderful, perfect-looking little teacup piglets who SUPPOSEDLY stay the same size their entire lives. I have heard horror stories of people tricked into purchasing miniature vietnamese potbellied pigs, and after awhile, the end up looking more like sows. I know that the genes of these new designer piggies are all screwed up because well, hell, that’s what happens when you mess with chromosomes. Anyway, what, where, how, and why would be the reasons to purchase one, and how can I tell if it TRULY is a teacup piglet???
Thank you so much for the information that all of you have supplied me with. I will most definitely go to a piggy shelter and adopt one who hasn’t been treated properly. Lord knows that they deserve it… Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Statistics problem?

This is due tomorrow, so please help if you can. I have no idea how to do it. A pig farmer has 1050 piglets born on his farm. 495 of them are females. Is this normal variation? Could you please show me how to do it?

How to build a pig pen?

I need to build a pig pen that will hold two or three piglets. Nothing really expensive. These will be regular pigs not potbellied. Any advice?

Why was the judge in the Wiles Hog Farm cruelty case such a douche?

He let most of the farmers off, not guilty, and the guy torturing piglets was only fined 0. Did he even bother to watch that video of the pigs? Or does he find torture sexy? Even 50 years in prison for each farmer would have been too nice. I’d have had them thrown into a group of starving pigs and laughed as they were eaten alive. And time to relieve the judge of his job. He’s an idiot.

Potbellied Pig Help Please!?

Ok, I have been wanting a potbellied pig for quite some time, I have done a LOT of research and know almost everything I need to know I just have a few unanswered questions.
Do they get along with other animals such as goats and ponies or horses?
Do they HAVE to have a special food or can they eat sweet feed, goat feed, or horse feed? (the local store doesn’t sell pig feed)
Would a female be happy alone or would she need a companion? (I am not looking to have any piglets!)
And does anyone have any advice for me?

Thanks
